YES, Robin McClellan Jared Myracle Brian G. Kingsley! 'Eds urgently need a natl movement for #professionallearning about reading. We should declare a No Shame Zone for this work—to make it safe for all eds to say, “I have unfinished learning around literacy.”' edweek.org/ew/articles/20…

"Research has documented what works to get kids to read, yet those evidence-based reading practices appear to be missing from most classrooms." Be sure to read this excellent piece by Brian G. Kingsley Jared Myracle Robin McClellan: #curriculummatters #empower19 edweek.org/ew/articles/20…

“Students background knowledge is essential to comprehension...” how is this built? READ! Give students rigorous passages based out of science, social studies, arts, and real life and watch them succeed! #rigorrelevanceANDrelationships #curriculummatters #readreadread

We're incredibly lucky to hear from tonight's #CoreAdvocates webinar hosts, Meredith Liben (@MJLiben) and Sue Pimentel as they discuss why and how text should be at the center of instruction!

Excited to hear from Meredith Liben and Sue Pimentel on tonight's SAP Webinar, Keeping Text at the Center of Instruction #Coreadvocates

There are 10 features that make a text complex; a text with more of these features will be more complex. Reading is a complex endeavor!! #coreadvocates

A research study by McKeown, Beck & Blake (bit.ly/2UsPDsN) took three student groups: a control group, a strategies focused group, and a content focused group and found when the questions focused on content, conversations were longer and better #coreadvocates

Approaching ELA reading, writing, listening and language standards holistically provides students with the fullest understanding of the text #coreadvocates
