Teachers know!!!  You know from the second you see something whether or not it was created by someone who had spent time in a room with 10 other adults or 25 7-year-olds.  We know you know, and that is one of the biggest compliments we get when we share our products with teachers

"If you teach a child to swim and ask them to practice by giving them a bike, how will it help them learn to swim?" You need to practice what you are learning, and that is where Express Readers' decodable books came to be.

It is really important that we give teachers grace, and that we give ourselves grace, knowing that this is learning process.  Now that we know this we need to do better, for our kiddos who want and need this skill to be successful in the future.

"I was a struggling reader, so I know how it feels." Reading is the great equalizer.  Whether you're good at it or if you struggle, we need to ensure a level playing field for all of our children.  It won't be easy, but ensuring a better world for future generations is critical.

Teachers dont need another thing on thier plate that is really important to learn and build for their classrooms.  It is on all of us as a community of educators, administrators, and publishers to create materials that teachers can easily implement in their classrooms.

The reading crisis is not just about some kids not doing well in school!!!  Literacy is the gateway to so many other subjects; without it, we are handicapping students from accessing it. Shed light on this. #expressreaders #earlyliteracy #structuredliteracy #literacymatters

Reading is the vein that runs through all of education. It is how you access any knowledge from the point you hit school, and people stop doing read-aloud. Administrations need to support those teachers who need the resources and books to help them teach reading.

The connection between our reading crisis and prison is real, which is why this is a root cause action we need to take to eliminate the correlation between these two facts.  As the adults, we need to prioritize this change for our children to reduce the number of prisons.

You can love something you can't do!!!! I am tired of hearing people tell me that decodable books and structured literacy are causing their child not to love reading.  You can have decodable books that are engaging, have full stories, and drive children to seek out the next one.
