Delighted to be at Reading for the Love it It @HeinemannPub #readingfortheloveofit

We appreciate the connections, community, and conversations that we have found here. In light of politics of the owner, we cannot remain. Please find us on Threads, Instagram, Bluesky, Facebook & our website: trustingreaders.com

@ShelfieTalk Which journal is this article in? Thank you.

“Further, these conceptualizations strongly affect learners’ understanding of what reading is as well as what it means to be a reader.”

“Because classroom instruction develops around teachers’ perceived understanding of a construct, the way in which they view certain aspects of the reading process has a decisive role in their teaching and assessment of those aspects.”

It is November, so it must be time to get ready for NCTE! We hope to see you there. We are presenting two sessions, and we are part of one round table session. @whitney_larocca @plthomasEdD @valerie_bolling @ConferringCarl @Mattglover123 @ShelfieTalk

@teachbk ?????

Imagine you're 7 years old: "What does each poem teach you about words? How does each poem make you feel about words? What words in the poems make you feel that way?" 🤨🤨🤨

I get the sense more educators are leaving Twitter lately. I feel the loss of community more than ever. However, I know there are many of us left. My question is, who in education do you follow that you think others should hear from?

@stenhousepub @whitney_larocca Such an important topic! Such an excellent speaker!

For those who had signed up for @whitney_larocca's webinar on Effective Revision Strategies for Elementary Students (Gr. 3-5), there is a new link to register for the rescheduled date, Nov 13th! Register here: bit.ly/WLRWebinarNov

Remember that we live in the world of "and." Students need explicit instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics, AND they need the opportunity to read.

If you are diving into Independent Reading, we are happy to join you for a school book club. heinemann.com/products/e1204…

If you are interested in the many reasons to include daily Independent Reading , this new meta analysis provides evidence that it boosts student engagement AND fosters a love of reading AND supports reading skills. doi.org/10.1177/233285…

@NancyEBailey1 I am seeing so much teacher anxiety and the words: “The student can’t…” around this. We are creating the problem.

Many educators/parents believe kindergartners should read before 1st grade. Is anyone asking if it could be why children have reading problems? nancyebailey.com/2024/03/15/can…

@ReadByExample here you go.

Authentic Conditions for Authentic Engagement trustingreaders.com/2024/10/18/aut…

@ReadByExample This is such an important distinction. We just wrote a blog about engagement.

What is student engagement? "I know it when I see it" isn't enough. Here are key features of what engagement is vs. isn't. What would you add to these lists?

@oonziela @ShelfieTalk Imagine..,

@ShelfieTalk @trustingreaders This. So, so much can and should be scaled up from instructional design for younger learners. What if we had centers and station rotation with abundant choice embedded for professional learning?

“We cannot make students be engaged as readers and writers. Instead, how can we create relevant reading and writing opportunities for them? How can we give choice, time, support and opportunities to talk with classmates as they read and write?” @trustingreaders

@ShelfieTalk @ASD_West What a wonderful book.

These copies of Choice Words are on their way to the ⁦@ASD_West⁩ educators who registered for our #ShelfieTalk virtual book study on Dec 4 at 9:00 pm AST. All are welcome to join this discussion!

@ShelfieTalk Thank you for sharing this.

@Jess5th Yes, you can do both! Thank you for sharing how you do it.
