Waking up our brain by asking questions.

If we teach a child the skill of reading without encouraging the love of reading, we will have created a literate illiterate.

Excited to be at Rutgers Literacy Conference!

Programs don’t teach..teachers teach!

Quote from this morning’s session: “we don’t have disabled children, we have disabled curriculum.”

A child’s success in first grade will be a strong predictor of literacy success throughout schooling. Early intervention gives children the boost they need to begin first grade at the same reading level as their peers. #FPLiteracy hubs.ly/H09pb1y0

“If we do not alter our approach to the teaching of reading—if we don’t figure out a way for students to rediscover the magic of books—we will graduate a generation of nonreaders, fake readers, and unprepared-for-college readers.” literacyworldwide.org/blog/literacy-…
