#newELARTEKS Texas RLA friends! I started making my student & teacher friendly rubrics for the new extended constructed response items based on yesterday's release from TEA. smore.com/gtm6k

Stop teaching memorization of high frequency words through chants. Shift to promoting phoneme grapheme relationships so kids understand regular vs irregular parts.

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

A3 I also think about how you are structuring the group: some small group structures work better for getting something correct while others work better for transfer and independence. #TCRWP

Tips for Sharing Writing - Great list of things to intentionally teach students to use/do during writing clubs. #tcrwp #VirtualSaturdayReunion

My new blog post: The organized right-wing attacks on school boards, and orchestrated indignation over what's being taught, prompts some reflection over what qualifies as "indoctrination": alfiekohn.org/blogs/indoctri…

Having fun with words doesn’t have to mean rote memorization and a test on Friday.

Prioritize the relationship with the child.
That is what it means to teach the writer.

On conferring-
When we ask about the book, we’re turning the conference into a worksheet 🚫
When we ask about the reader & their process we recognize the work that they are doing & make it transferable ✅

Writing Workshop is sometimes called "the conference method of teaching writing." Conferring is at the heart of writing workshop.
Thank you @ConferringCarl for all your wisdom.

Today was a “catch up” day in WW. The ML was basically asking “Who can find the chart that…?” And sending them off to write.
Bonus? I conferred with so many writers! @TCRWP

Listening to episode 13 of the #InspireLiteracy podcast about the big ideas around conferring! “It’s not enough to set kids up with great books and send them off to read.” Great reminders about both reading & writing conferences! #FriscoIC @allenelem #FISDliteracy #TCWRP

"Statistically the # of minutes you read defines what vocabulary you’re going to have. Some of the words you’re never going to see enough to get good at them if you’re not reading enough."

I have to hope that the next generation of parents,the current PK-12 Ss,will have done the listening & learning that will ensure they see all humans & their stories as precious & deserving of being told & heard- that they’ll ask for, not ban, books. We must do better.
My parents gave up a lot to come to this county. They came because they believe this country is freer, a freedom that includes the freedom to read. A freedom we must all actively protect and safeguard every day. #StopTheBan #FrontDesk #ThreeKeys #RoomToDream

When it comes to minilessons, break free from taking a mastery mindset. This can lead to overteaching & can limit risk taking in your Ss. Instead, keep this portion of the workshop short leaving more time for independent practice & responsive instruction #LiteracyTipTuesday

@ericareardon & @CharaRodrigues1 are helping me think 💭 deeply about reading communities on this final Mon. morning walk in August. With the pandemic 😷 continuing to rage, holding onto our favorite reading memories feels comforting. Literacy is social.
