We might think they don’t like reading. False. They like reading about things they like.

Such an important read about capitalizing on students’ real world/digital literacies to foster lifelong readership in our classrooms. Congrats, @LorraineRadice1 !!! ✨📚

The only way students will ever become strong readers is by reading — a lot!

No student is unreachable. Every student is teachable. Every Student. Every Day. Whatever It Takes. #Culturize

Kids who read for pleasure build better vocabularies, empathy, decision-making, and social skills. They also write better.

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way
