What are we doing as teachers to help children develop a LOVE of reading?

[Lynn Kirkland @profldk]

When are we going to match the reader with our instruction based on multiple forms of assessment? NO program works for every child!

It should concern EVERY citizen of our nation that a political decision to ban this book has been made within Alabama. I stand with NAEYC!

“Who will be left behind with a restrictive switch to a single teaching method?” The only wrong way forward is trying to restrict which tools teachers can use to help them, lowering the bar for schools and underserving the readers who struggle most.”

Wide reading in self-selected books is one important way to build background knowledge and vocabulary. Library doors are a gateway to anywhere!

3rd-grade retention hurts children. That is a research-based statement. Here is a podcast around that point. https://t.co/LbnDWbKF8T

When kids read, they have the chance to discover the world beyond them; when they write, they have the chance to discover the world within them. They need the opportunity to do both.

To summarize some of the vast research on reading instruction & intervention, the brilliant @burnsmk1 thought of meta-analyzing studies from meta-analyses. Effects sizes below. W/@KellyBCartwrig1, in special issue edited by @kymyona_burk & @janhasbrouck

Standardized testing, especially in elementary level is not only a massive waste of time and money, but has little to no impact on student learning.

Any way we can quit spending money on the “curriculum of the year”, and take a deep dive into research-based literacy practices? All of them!

[Lynn Kirkland @profldk]

@YeagerChuck You are his legacy! 💔

[Lynn Kirkland @profldk]

When any administrator says that we do not have a teacher shortage, take a deep dive into the numbers. We have schools that have 30 or more UNCERTIFIED teachers.
