@WLE_HCS Ya’ll!!! This is soooo cute!!!

Day 10 with Wes the Elf Uh oh! Wes lost his magic after being touched, so before heading back to the North Pole, we took him to Ms. Smith’s office to see if she could help bring it back! Reminder, Dolphins — look, don’t touch! #WesTheElf

@BarackObama Precious! Also, WE NEED YOU BACK!!!!!!!

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Love this!!!! So much fun reading, learning new things and celebrating! 🎉 🎈

Read about this and other takeaways from our table talk discussion at the annual RPPL convening earlier this month in this week's edition of Literacy Leaders: bit.ly/3sLM0kJ

The science of reading isn’t just a matter of learning how to teach a new curriculum or new strategies — you may also have to unlearn some old habits." Read more here: bit.ly/4hSRmQt

Time and people are your two most valuable resources within the school. Invest time in the people that are in front of students. Problem solve together, practice together, and produce solutions and outcomes together. Human Resources have a high return on investment!

School culture is built moment by moment, interaction by interaction. (Reminder via leader @EmilyAPaschall)

There should be less of the blame game in schools & more of the claim game. Let’s collectively claim responsibility for the children on our watch, plan for desired outcomes, & teach with the art & science of teaching in mind. After the instruction, let’s reflect & respond!

No matter the tool, get to writing! 🖊️🖍️✏️ Writing is an essential component of literacy instruction!

Many teachers are unaware of the power of repeated reading. Repeated reading effect size is larger than the effect size of phonics. Putting the two together could be a real game-changer for teachers. This blog post gives the history behind Dr. Tim Rasinski's work in this area. It is loaded with great ideas for improving reading instruction in grades 1-5. .doctorsam7.blog/2025/10/18/flu…
