@LizeBailey Thank you!

Who's read The Knowledge Gap by Natalie Wexler? I'm hovering somewhere between feeling devastated that I did so much wrong as a teacher and hopeful that the science of reading is guiding the way forward. This is a 3 minute overview of the book... https://t.co/LIzKfSX9GS

@ILAToday Of course. I think I can offer a solutions-oriented perspective... what can teachers actually put in their students’ hands that doesn’t involve a screen, and increases both student engagement and reading growth.

@ILAToday I created hands-on reading tools that developed decoding, fluency and comprehension skills. The tools can be applied to any literature students have access to and they provide a welcome break from so much screen time. Student engagement soared! https://t.co/yG97E3LE64

As we face the likelihood of continued distance-learning, our students will need tangible tools to interact with as they strive to become proficient readers. It's time to apply the value of manipulatives to literacy instruction. https://t.co/yG97E3LE64
