Wondering how your school/district can better address the literacy needs of multilingual learners as you develop SoR-aligned instruction? Join me for a new webinar with @ReadingLeagueNC on Sept. 25 at 6:30pm EST! 👏🏻 Register here: buff.ly/7sAVZep

Just what we’ve been needing for my teacher prep literacy courses! Thanks @UFLiteracy! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

👏🏻 So honored to present today at the @SIOPModel Virtual Conference! If you’re attending, I hope to see you at 1:15pm EST to explore ways to make graphic organizers engaging & accessible for MLs in K-5! 🙌 See you then! #SIOPNC25

I just want to celebrate the value, joy, & fulfillment that have come from being a chapter leader with @ReadingLeagueNC . 🩵 The symposium today went so well, and it’s exciting to see educators gather for such a collaborative effort! 👏🏻 #literacyforall

Not every elementary curriculum is going to have rich academic language threaded throughout the texts and lessons. We have to explicitly teach them. Very good point @smorrisey

Great conversation happening at the Literacy View Podcast! This was a thought-provoking episode with Dr. Phil Capin about reading comprehension and where knowledge building AND strategy instruction play a role. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

I always look forward to the SIOP® Virtual Conference! 👏🏻I’m honored to contribute again as a presenter on July 8th! If you teach EL/ML students, join us!👇@SIOPModel @SavvasLearning

Adaptive teaching for multilingual learners isn't about doing more - it's about noticing more. If a student is silent, lost or stuck, don’t assume they don’t understand ➡️respond with scaffolds: visuals, gestures, L1 use, sentence starters. #edutwitter #EAL #multilingual

If you are sacrificing social studies & science instruction in favor of literacy, you are hindering the very background knowledge that strengthens students' reading comp & overall learning, finally not fully supporting their academic growth. #TRLSummit2025 #ReithSmith

🤝 Inclusion isn't just about addressing the needs of marginalized groups or students who need accommodations; it’s about designing classrooms & schools that celebrate all students’ unique identities & backgrounds, & leveraging this diversity as an asset: bit.ly/42lnExJ

Just coming here to say that in order to become proficient readers, all children (regardless of their language status or disability status) need to activate the same areas of the brain. Some confuse this fact with a “one size fits all” approach. If you find yourself among the people who have erroneously interpreted it to mean that, please know that is not what it means. The idea here is that we have to teach using tools and strategies that facilitate and promote the activation of these brain areas and that we ought to abandon those that do not. Think about it like using strategies that allow you to get the biggest bang for your buck. Also, please know that the fact that all reading brains have to activate the same brain regions does not mean we can’t use different scaffolds or focus on additional language layers when working with students who need additional support around specific layers of language (vocabulary, syntax, etc). The more you know 🥰 @CoachGoodman @brett_tingley - Sorry, I had to delete the previous post.. m.youtube.com/watch?pp=2AG-A…

It was a joy to share a keynote today at the NCCAT Literacy Leaders Conference! Definitely the highlight of the year for me! 😀 Here’s to leveraging students’ primary languages in the classroom! 🩵 #literacyforall

What a blast today presenting at the @CarolinaTesol conference all about ways to build the ever-vital ✨background knowledge✨ our MLs need for language comprehension! 🩵 #CarolinaTESOL2024 @KnowledgeMtrs @natwexler @MJLiben , you got shout-outs! 😀

My heart was full to the brim as I spent time with so many equity-minded & brilliant educators at the @reading_league conference last week!🩵 I am grateful to be a part of this community! Join me next year in Chicago? 😉 @ReadingLeagueNC

@MJLiben Good to connect, Meredith! I’m loving your @KnowledgeMtrs podcasts on reading comprehension SO much!! 👏🏻 Thank you!

I learned so much from you today, @LindsayKemeny! True research-based literacy practice with so much 🩵! What an incredible educator, parent, and presenter you are! Thank you! 😊@reading_league @ReadingLeagueNC #TRLCONF2024 #structuredliteracy #scienceofreading

What an incredible first day of The Reading League Conference 2024! 🎉Such a joy to meet @DrCarolTolman1 and @DrElsa_CHagan! 😀 “We are the gap-standers for the children on our watch.” -@TracyWeeden3 #TRLCONF2024 #literacyforall @reading_league @ReadingLeagueNC

Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) has significant implications for multilingual learners as they face unique cognitive challenges during the learning process. Here's how to manage them ⬇️ #edutwitter #EAL #multilingual #MLs

Thank you, @Hall_Schools for providing teachers of multilingual learners with a fantastic professional learning conference today! It was a joy to present! 🩵 And so good to finally meet you, @ValentinaESL! You are doing great work! See you all next time! 😀

Can’t wait to spend time with teachers of multilingual learners in @Hall_Schools GA tomorrow! 😀 We’ll be looking at equitable, research-based Tier 1 literacy practices for all grade levels! @ESOLHallco1 #scienceofreading #literacyforall
