It's December, which means your end-of-year reminder is here that you’re a reader whether you read 200 or 2 books this year. And also whether you read audiobooks or print books or ebooks. And also whatever genre you prefer. You’re a reader and we love you 🫶

@GlennGRobbins @MsKHarmon @CoachJCashin immediately thought of you!

The team is back together!

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.

@JSerravallo Love Serravallo's work!

When conferring with readers and writers, having clear and predictable structures is so helpful. This is my go-to structure for goal-setting conferences, which comes from my book, A Teacher’s Guide to Reading Conferences heinemann.com/products/e0991…
