We are launching literacy workshop this year after several years of traditional workshop. I can’t wait to dive in to this treasure and further support my teachers in fostering and developing an understanding of the reciprocity of reading and writing. ellin keene #wisdgreatness

The SOR case builds on the claim that there is a crisis in U.S. achievement--caused by poor instruction. But reading results from the PISA (2018) and PIRLS (2016) international studies show the US doing comparatively well. A need to improve, always. But a crisis?

Captain Underpants has turned 25--birthday greetings to the Captain, and thanks to Dav Pilkey who was told he could never make a living by creating cartoon books of a principal in underwear turned superhero.

So sad to share the news that David Bartholomae has passed away. He was a giant in the field--a great teacher, mentor, and human being. post-gazette.com/news/obituarie…

Book #️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ of summer ✅ I can't believe I've waited so long in my career to read this, but I'm grateful for the second edition to put this on my radar. A classic example of right book, right time. I really hope I can live up to the way it's inspired me in the fall. Kylene Beers

Excited to see the first copy of my new book--a labor of love that explores the big ideas that open literacy learning to all students. Thanks to all who helped make it happen.
