Choice should begin with each writer choosing the writer’s notebook that matches their needs. Writer's notebooks should be as individual as the writers who use them. There is not just one way to use them. Discover what works for you. #write #writersnotebook

When teachers control choice of student writing topics, expecting voice is a bit like watching a bird almost fly.

An advantage of knowledge-rich curricula over skills-based ones that I haven't seen discussed much is with the former students can see they are making progress—they know things they formerly didn't. When students see they are making progress they are more likely to invest effort.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

Don't start with graphic organizers and fill in the details. Start by collecting details, encourage organization to arise within the individual writer. Pose questions like- How might information support your best writing?
Encourage thinking, ownership and decision making.

Great to see oral language front and centre in literacy teaching and learning. /au_en/articles/unpacking-the-science-of-reading-what-the-research-says

Fascinating - a must read - the broken logic of Sold a Story. It questions binary views and 'settled science' claims. There can be no 'settled sciences', it isn't in the accepted tradition or practice, or spirit of science. Check out this flipbook literacyresearchcommons.org/…

Science - what is science? How science and the assumption that 'science is settled' has been misused in many binary theories and media narratives. Powerful quote!

Love this - "Reading instruction should foster readers who relish text, dive into literate activity with passion, and value themselves as readers" from Maren Aukerman. Have you read this yet? Thanks Mary for sharing.

Fantastic to see oral language as part of what we need to teach for learners to be successful. How are you focusing on oral language in your context? Are you differentiating teaching for your learners? Is it fun and engaging for your learners? Read this when you have time.

Reading aloud to others is so powerful. Are you making time to read to your learners.

The Russian Embassy in Lisbon, Portugal tonight.
The text is of Navalny’s famous message from beyond the grave:
“Don’t give up!”

Most of us choose to read for the pleasure of it--relaxation, curiosity about a topic, the love of a story well told. We start there. So why do we start with lesser fare when teaching students to read? It's not words in isolation that inspire but well crafted words by an author.

"The K-12 “reading wars” discussions have been missing a critical point: No matter the curriculum used, too often, teachers are being asked to stick to a script and execute equal teaching, not equitable teaching. And equal teaching is illegal."
