"Scaffold students’ thinking about complex texts by asking what the text says, how it works, what it means, and what it inspires them to do." For more, check out Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey's article "Questioning that Deepens Comprehension." #literacy edutopia.org/blog/questioni…

National Poetry Month is the perfect time to invest in your students' fluency development by designing opportunities for them to engage in repeated readings and performance of poetry! #literacy

A systematic approach to reading comprehension instruction might need to include developing students' ability to making meaning at the sentence level. #literacy Check out Tim Shanahan's thoughts on sentence-level comprehension below! shanahanonliteracy.com/blog/trying-ag…

We can intentionally draw students' eyes and ears to "magical language" as models of original writing. Then we can design exercises for them to practice taking risks in the way they describe an image. #writing #literacy

Spoken language is not quite organized in the same way as written language; therefore, students must receive intentional, varied, and frequent exposures to the syntax of written language. Give them the repetitions they need to become fluent! edweek.org/teaching-learn…

From all of us at the Florida Literacy Association, we wish you a happy Valentine's Day!

Florida Literacy Association remembers Dr. Ernest Morrell who, among many great contributions to education, spoke at our 60th Annual Literacy Conference in 2025. We celebrate his life and grieve with his friends and family.
