What is guided reading? We answer this important question and more in our new "What Is...?" blog series, where each week we will be defining the instructional contexts that make up a coherent literacy system: https://t.co/kuzfcXB2Pc #FPLiteracy#fountasandpinnell#literacy
Love this project idea! Educators, if you use IVAN, or any of my books, in the classroom, don't hesitate to send pictures—I'm never able to meet as many young readers as I'd like, so connecting this way is always fun.

Is this not the coolest lesson!? Summarizing non-fiction text in 20 words, using unifix cubes to track counting. Great job @MrsHawksHeroes! #MooreTogether#MagicMakers
I’ll be far more disappointed if my students finish 5th grade not knowing how to shake a hand, have a conversation, and work with others than whether or not they mastered standard RI.5.6 on a test. #LimitlessSchool

Trauma-informed practice: Shift perspective in the classroom from "What is wrong with this child" to "what has happened to this child that they need x/y/z and how do I create an environment where they can best learn?" @ACasimirSiar #tcrwp
@mrswillis212 @donalynbooks@DrMaryHoward I have Conferring forms that go with each of the reading goals (from Reading Strategies) that have questions and look fors progressions in my new books - understanding Texts & Readers and Teachers Guide to Reading Confs (Feb 2019)
My challenge to educators this week is to go find the silent voice, go check in and chat with a student who often goes unnoticed or heard! Every child deserves an advocate and voice! Bring a smile to everyone!
