When 31% of 13-year-olds report "never or hardly ever" reading a book, we shouldn't be surprised at the tragic NAEP reading assessment results. (I fear the percentage is actually higher.)

@NealShusterman So excited!!!

The 4th Scythe book GLEANINGS is coming soon! Hope you are all ready to discover more about your favorite Scythes and new ones 😊

@goUathletics Congratulations, Izzy!!

@Owsley_Lauren So feeling this, Lauren. Can only imagine how much harder it is for you.

@LindaMRief @pennykittle @HeinemannPD Please!!!

What if @pennykittle & I did a workshop on fiction writing, focused on flash fiction?! @HeinemannPD Anyone interested?

@joyjuheelim @triciaebarvia @CFBISD @BlalackMS Horrifying. Truly. Kudos to your sister for pausing to challenge the implicit bias of her teachers. Sadly, there are so many students who didn’t / don’t / wouldn’t so this implicit bias ends up spreading. 😔

my sister’s 6th grade social studies class took a quiz today and......... this is ridiculous.. harmful rhetoric in our education system is exactly why anti-asian hate crimes and racism persist today @CFBISD @BlalackMS do better

@gaepol @BethNanis Yay, Beth!!!!

My kind of day. Celebrate big. #worldkindnessday2020

@RaffertyLaboure @Pocopsonlib I’m in full support!

@Pocopsonlib I just ordered Comics Plus- middle school edition - today. I’m so interested to see how our students and teachers react.

At first my library self wanted to reject graphic novels. But ALL of this and more is true- I have seen it time and time again!

@Jspisak4 This why I’m so scared of the tired I’ll feel next month. Can I get more tired?

@Owsley_Lauren Did you find a way to save the groups or do you recreate them each day?

@millikan_pam (1) middle school students NEED caring adults (2) they still make you handmade gifts (3) you don’t need to walk them in a line. Honestly, it’s such a pivotal period in a person’s life. Why WOULDN’T you want to teach middle school?

Attn: Preservice teacher educators. Consider teaching middle school! It'll be the most rewarding level ever. I worked w/middle level my entire career & thoroughly enjoyed it! Others? What would u say to our future teachers about why you ♥️ the middle level?

@AlexDanvers2017 New Jersey in the 80s!

Ok, this has me curious. Who else had to do this, and where/when? This was Virginia in the ‘90s.

Yesssss! Important books. Audio version free. Opportunity for awesome discussion. My idea of the total package!

@Mrs_Davis139 Great books. I’ve read most. Would be an awesome club.

@Amy_Ahart Definitely #3!

Hmmmm . . .I'd pick House #3.

@allycondie Boy 21...also the Stupid Fast trilogy. Comedian biography...Born a Crime

Can you guys recommend awesome MG sports books that aren't Mike Lupica? Also, best biographies of comedians for a 17 y.o.?

Because sometimes we need that bit of inspiration...

@TrishDoller I’m not, but I can easily put you in touch with two figure skating coaches. One skated in the olympics.
