Serafini assertion 7: We need efficiency when evaluating our readers. What do you daily to learn about your students as readers? @doctorserafini @TestonM4 @USFCollegeofEDU @AlonsoHcp @TestonM4
Geek moment...when you are getting an xray on your foot and you receive a phone call from Jim Knight. You daughter makes you hang up so you can get diagnosed...but you got a call fro. JIM KNIGHT!!! @jimknight99
Serafini assertion 6: Comprehension (drop the mike). That's why we read. BTW...check out his Advanced Lessons in Comprehension. They are demonstration lessons...not a calendar of lesson plans guys!!! @doctorserafini @AlonsoHcp
Serafini assertion 4: The primary goal of the reading workshop is to change the way teachers and student think & talk about texts. If we don't change the way we think, we cannot change the way we teach. @doctorserafini @USFCollegeofEDU @TestonM4@HCLA_HCPS @jschneidusf #FLCLAS
Serafini assertion 3: The goal is NOT to get better at predicting, but to get better at making sense of text. @doctorserafini @HCLA_HCPS @AlonsoHcp @TestonM4#FLCLAS
Serafini Assertion 2: Reading aloud to students of all ages matter. When kids tell us “you say every book you read to us is YOUR favorite!” We should respond “yes, because I would never share anything less with you.” @doctorserafini @TestonM4 @USFCollegeofEDU
Serafini Assertion 1 ...We need books in our classrooms and places for comfort to read, community, access, choice, time, talk. You don’t walk into Barnes and Noble and hear readers being told “You have 2 min to get a book. Let’s go!” @AlonsoHcp @doctorserafini #FLCLAS
In exactly one month, I’ll be leaving for Cambridge to study teaching, learning and coaching abroad. @USFCollegeofEDU @dr_ddennis @Cambridge_Uni#PhDlife
