Another fabulous give away by a wonderful author. Give it a try teacher friends.

#BookADay Day 79: I bought this to go with our Patterns of Wonder by Whitney Daley La Rocca. What a fun book! Looking forward to using this soon with our kinder students.

#BookADay Day 80. My final post for summer book a day 2022 as school starts tomorrow. This one could be good to begin a conversation on character traits or even symbolism.

Today is my 33rd first day of school as an educator. Excited for the year ahead as my school celebrates 20 years of greatness. Happy 1st day to my Waller ISD family!

I just had a student yesterday asking if I had any new I Survived books. He will be so happy to hear about this one. Teachers - see the original tweet to retweet for a chance to win.

So excited!

When embracing the "science of reading" ensure that science includes phonics & decoding AND ALSO the science of comprehension, vocabulary, fluency & self-regulation. Keep top of mind,learners differ. We teach readers, not just reading. Let's Talk About Literacy Dr. Mary Howard #cpchat #edchat

It has been a bit since we have done labsites together…so glad we started again today. Carrie Lentz Janice R. Perez, M.Ed. April Long, M. Ed.

One of the times I am NOT proud to be a Texan, and I am missing my home state of Maine. So sad for our kids in Texas.

I have completed my challenge of 100 books! goodreads.com/user_challenge…

My 35th year in ed. will be directly w/ Ss as a rdg interventionist. After 15 yrs of instructional coaching I want to apply the learning I had to accelerate their reading. Any help is appreciated. #clearthelist #teacherwishlist amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

#STAARredesign Thinking about the 2024 Reading SCRs this weekend & how written response "shows" comprehension of the text and the question while also assessing specific TEKS. docs.google.com/document/d/126…

First professional read of the summer. I loved the K-2 edition previously, but reading this 3-5 with the lens of an interventionist was so validating and yet transforming. Will be using to heavily inform my craft. Highly recommend.

After 15 years of supporting Ts, I am returning to direct teaching. Rebuilding my resources for students. Any help appreciated. amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

#STAARredesign TX RLA friends, you know what I'm working on. Here is the first of many things I am looking at in the released tests. (I "get to" go help college son clean his apartment, but I will be back at this later.) 😀docs.google.com/document/d/1-n…

#STAARredesign Thanks Chris Oett for nudging me to look at this again. I made a visual to find a reason why some ECRs are labeled with the Comp TEKS & others are labeled with the Response TEKS. It looks like the genre being responded to is related. docs.google.com/document/d/1u1…

Related, it's been my experience over decades that when we combine authentic & explicit reading, writing, & phonics teaching with social studies and science content & curriculum related to real-world issues, students' engagement, interest, & reading comprehension flourish.
