This is a great example of the dynamic nature of reading comprehension. So context-dependent! Sadly, all the strategies in the world can’t make up for lack of background knowledge.. #scienceofreading

@tedcruz Sir, you are a US Senator. Please elevate the bar set by rage baiting podcasters and show some basic decency, integrity, and just, like, maturity. Ugh

[Amy Pratt @prattas]

@HABLAlab I 100% agree and appreciate you calling out the irony!

Frankly, I am as (if not more!) concerned about faculty who have no evidence of any sustained collaborations 🚩🚩😬

A continued line of inquiry that sometimes overlaps with a former mentor is… expected?!!

[Amy Pratt @prattas]

Been staying off of Twitter since Musk (🙄) but wow I had to tweet about @nytimes HORRIBLE take on Walz in today’s The Daily podcast.

Their analysis of Midwestern voters is offensive and ignores long history of progressiveness. Walz was re-elected and remains extremely popular.

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

This is intolerable. We have to make that clear. This cannot be our choice. Democrats better pull their shit together and get another candidate within the week.

No one is trying to allow abortions right up to birth. You asshole, DeSantis. #GOPDebate

//Findings suggest that continued use of Spanish may be important for bilinguals' maintenance of the home language during adolescence, particularly on narrative tasks that require bilinguals to produce Spanish.//

@moorehn They have some platform sandals on sale now. I’d avoided the trend (since 1999-ish!) but these are more of a nod to the trend while still looking classic.

[Amy Pratt @prattas]

@moorehn Ooh I was just looking at that exact woven pair of mules 🤩 They are stunning. Happy to hear they’re also comfortable and that the leather wears well.

[Amy Pratt @prattas]

@josephhylam @SSSReading @YoungSukKim19 So proud of you, Joseph! 🥳🥳

@TractorLaw Sent $25! Hope she uses it for some funky accessories for her shed 💕🌸☮️ (what a shame that MAW treated your family so carelessly)

[Amy Pratt @prattas]

@EdPsychMama @jarlogan Omg this is the best idea! Yes!

[Amy Pratt @prattas]

@BriceCollin I am! And we should!

Minimally it could help combat the “blank page” enemy, where you don’t even know where or how to start

[Amy Pratt @prattas]

There is obv room for nuance here, depending on the field and the skill and the egregious of the cheating.

But I try to design assignments that don’t easily lend themselves to flagrant cheating (e.g., in-class presentations, case studies).

I do not want to be a cop in my class.

PS @aaron_dessner I think you should take @taylorswift13 to 12th and Vine, Covington Bridge, Ault Park, Fountain Square, Northside, Price Hill, etc. Show her the sights!

(I’ll tell my fellow swifties to be chill and give you guys space, hehe) 😝

[Amy Pratt @prattas]

I mean, @aaron_dessner, how can you write a song called “Ghost of Cincinnati” and NOT come see us this weekend!?? 😇😝
