“You can make or break the soul of a child by the amount of attention you pay them. I know it’s hard for teachers, I know we ask them to do the impossible. But it’s teachers who helped to make me and it could have been teachers who broke me.” @MichelleObama #ncte21

No matter how brilliantly executed the mini lesson, if the child is holding a book he can’t read during independent reading time, the teaching won’t transfer.
Prioritize smarter book shopping and matching books to readers in order for mini lessons to stick. – at Manhattan, NY

When kids feel seen, they will read the book.

We Need Diverse Books will no longer use the term #OwnVoices to refer to children’s literature or its authors. Moving forward, WNDB will use specific descriptions that authors use for themselves and their characters. ow.ly/su9w50F3IiJ

I don’t have high, low, or in-the-middle students.
I only have where-they-are students.
And that’s where I meet them.

"Give kids credit. They have an innate sense of what's right and what's wrong. Being able to draw on that innate sense of justice through relatable stories is so important." ow.ly/mtVn50Dh21V
