A reminder of the benefits of reading aloud with your child 📚👩‍👦👩‍👧📚

The importance of play.

“Teachers rarely (if ever) got exactly what they wanted. Yet, they showed up this year when, where and how they could. If a documentary is made about the pandemic’s impact on public education, we’ll see that teachers were not villains.” hechingerreport.org/opinion-neithe…

Teaching is situational. Research can describe tendencies in larger populations--but it cannot dictate what to do in the moment. That takes judgment.

Important 🧵about the irresponsibility of Dana Goldstein’s reporting. @CodyMillerELA points out just ONE of the problematic aspects w/ her latest reporting about Heinemann There are other issues. I encourage reading the piece w/ a critical 👁. LPS Literacy K-5

Another aspect of Goldstein's irresponsible framing: she conflates a very specific *publication controversy* of a "new" curriculum (which, in fact, is not new) w/ a much broader *approach* to literacy. Look closely @ the photo/caption above the article🧐 Hmmm... LPS Literacy K-5

Great idea for Estabrook School

I frequently get asked which side of the reading war i’m on. I’m on the side of staying CURIOUS. I want ALL the tools so that I can help every reader that I sit beside. #StayCurious #GrowingReaders #scienceofreading #balancedliteracy EducationDreamStation

Alternate headline: nation’s teachers miraculously prevent catastrophic decline in student learning despite global pandemic killing millions; scores drop by only a few points even as US child poverty rates grow to 17%

I can tell you that what I do each day as a Reading Recovery teacher is NOT what was described in a trending podcast. #factCheck

"Students with reading difficulties often have problems that extend beyond word recognition and language comprehension." We need to be talking about EF skills in the context of reading more.

A kid said something funny in class today and the entire room, myself included, burst out laughing and could not stop for several very long, very joyous minutes. I was in tears. That won’t show up in any data sheet, but it matters too.

So many great literacy podcasts out there! Add to the list ⁦⁦Jennifer Serravallo⁩. In this episode: “[W]hat…we can learn about short term and ongoing interventions, as well as the ways that reading needs change and develop across grades K-4.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/to-…
