Steven Layne

@joan_bauer Am I allowed to talk about his cooking? The man knows how to make a steak!!!

My husband Evan, a computer genius, had great advice on thinking through a stalled draft: What does complete look like? What isn’t working? What do you need to get it done? Put blinders on. Dedicate yourself to it. The momentum will come. He’s cute, too. Lucky me. #amwriting

What a grand evening! Thank you, ALEA Riverina Murray Council for inviting me to present to all those wonderful Aussie friends tonight! Sensational time. See you all again for our July session - and thank you Zoom for hosting us! #passion4lit #AussieFriendsareGreat

Starting the "book of the month" club! Pretty sure this idea came from @StevenLayne. Grateful for @crareading & @PARCreads! #lifelonglearning #IgnitingAPassionForReading #growingreaders #rcsdcrestmont #rcsdchampions

@WOODD_E I do love @saraholbrook and her poetry. She is my all-time favorite! So happy to call her my dear friend! Closing with her “Crystal Apples” today was a way for me to share her amazing talent with a few more teachers!

@StevenLayne way to open the conference. #Passion4Lit

@BarrettRanch_ What I love about this school is that they don’t look for gimmicks. They understand the rationale for the strategies they implement - so if it’s sound, it’s not “here today and gone tomorrow!”

@wendyoteaches @donalynbooks @pernilleripp @BelinderPTA @belinder_prin This makes my heart sing.

@aslanational @StevenLayne So many great and inspiring statements from @stevenlayne that I can't wait to share with teaching colleagues!

@TXLA @ProfessorNana @SamHoustonState Speechless. How we will miss her light, her smile, her knowledge and kindness. Love and prayers to her family. So very, very sad to hear this news.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved colleague and friend, Dr. Teri Lesesne @ProfessorNana As a distinguished professor at @samhoustonstate, Dr. Lesesne inspired countless students for more than 30 years and was a champion for readers of all ages.

Don't forget nonfiction read alouds. Here's a list to get you started: melissa-stewart.com/img2018/pdfs/n… #nerdcampnne2021

@annettecann @sbruyns @ILAToday @TVDSB Ready to come back ANY TIME!

@sbruyns @ILAToday @StevenLayne Amen sistah! Fondest of memories having @StevenLayne come to @TVDSB 💕

Which literacy experts would you like to see lead future ILA digital events?

@joan_bauer Max Bauer has a way of making me smile when I even THINK about him. Walking him is a privilege (he tells me) - I’m sure he thinks that should be enough to make you smile all day!🤣

Didn’t feel like walking my dog this AM, didn’t feel much like smiling, but got up and caught the last moments of the sunrise. Felt the hope go right into my soul. #amsmiling

@MrsJCromer @3tahuff Aren’t you nice! Thanks for the encouragement. #NicePeople

@3tahuff My favorite voice on the importance of read alouds at all levels is @StevenLayne You'll have to check out his books if you aren't familiar 😊

Making time for daily read-alouds can actually save instructional time needed later the road! #FloydChat #12DaysTwitter

Has such fun writing this book with my bride and the incredible talents of husband-wife team Rob and Lisa Papp in the illustrations are literally works of art!

Thanks Mrs. Baker, Miss Rod, and 3rd graders for hosting a great virtual author visit today. I had such fun with you all!! #GratefuAuthor #WheatonEdDept

@StudioJJK Inspirational! This is so joyful to read. Kind of like an @StudioJJK book!

@joan_bauer Love that you remind us of some of your great gems!!

Life’s too hard sometimes; we need signs: • CAUTION JERKS CROSSING • Blinking yellow lights when you’re about to do something stupid • Stop signs by people who could hurt you • Green lights when you’re doing the right thing—from my novel Rules of the Road

@smithdavidalan You know I have a fix for that. Do the letters “WC” mean anything to you?

“Growing research indicates people act more in accord with their self-perception than with reality.” This explains so much. So very, very much. Thank you @DrDebbieSilver for pointing this out in your great book #FallDown7TimesGetUp8
