So true! 🙌

“School is a very difficult, unpleasant & frightening place for those who have difficulty reading. The effects on mental health are ongoing & pervasive. The answer is not to throw more sympathy or even enthusiasm at the problem; instead, every child must be taught to read well.”

[Leigh Fettes @lcfettes]

This is heartbreaking to read. ‘When even text messaging is a struggle: The pain of being a teenager who can’t read well.’
This demonstrates the importance of robust instruction throughout the grades, early screening, and aggressive intervention when indicated.

Struggling readers need highly trained interventionists more than expensive computer programs disguised as interventions.

"When students exit primary school with reading, writing, and spelling skills around a mid-primary level, we are setting them up for a slippery slope of academic failure, behavioural dysregulation, poor school attendance, early school disengagement..." @PamelaSnow2

This is truth! 💯

"I feel it’s so important to talk about WHY we expect certain behaviors at school. I made the anchor chart and then we came together and brainstormed examples of when we are expected to be quiet vs talk," third-grade teacher Jenna Monty, who was inspired by @room213tpt, writes.

"MASLOW BEFORE BLOOM" simply means that basic human needs need to be addressed before learning can occur. If a student is hungry, tired, or scared—give them food, a nap, or a hug. It seems so simple. It is simple. It is also very effective.

Growth isn't always linear, but it's always going on.
