“83% [of teachers surveyed] reported that zero to 25% of their classroom libraries came from their school or district budgets.” #GameChanger 🚨🚨ALERT ALERT THIS IS A PROBLEM 🚨🚨 Colby Sharp Donalyn Miller

“If we value a whole-child model of education, children’s lifelong reading habits and skills should matter just as much as reading scores.” #GameChanger Colby Sharp Donalyn Miller

Five tips for overwhelming parents: 1. Reflect on their frustration. 2. Admit other ways to look at it. 3. Tell parent u appreciate opinion. 4. Be willing to change if best for kid. 5. Thank parent for caring so much. #edchat #thatonekid #kidsdeserveit #tlap

A child’s education cannot be reduced to a test score… and this is obvious to everyone but the policy makers.

Inspired reading Passionate Readers Pernille Ripp. Unless we make it our personal mission to inspire Ss to engage with reading, to fall in love with text and discovery, to be open to the possibility that they may be a reader after all, then we may as well not be teaching reading.

I believe all students want to be successful. I believe teachers who view themselves as the most important variable in the classroom have the biggest impact. I believe teachers are stronger when they collaborate. I believe administrators should support and reinforce the process.

Teachers are more motivated when their administration supports them, values them, and encourages them. Guess when students are more motivated.

“We need to teach our children to read and to enjoy reading. We need libraries. We need books. We need literate citizens.” We could not agree more with Neil Gaiman and chris riddell that all children have the right to read for pleasure. #RightsToRead theguardian.com/books/gallery/…

Reading online requires more attention from kids than reading a paper book. They are faced with almost limitless input and decisions, including images, video and multiple hyperlinks that lead to even more information. Holly Korbey ow.ly/uf2950uUrd6
