We sat down with literacy expert @ReadingShanahan to talk about how reading unlocks the doors to social & political power, why kids should learn to read like chemists, and what a true, evidence-based approach to #literacy across grade levels will take. edutopia.org/article/to-impr…

There is overwhelming research showing homework does little to improve achievement, especially in early years, and can actually have negative effects. Recess however has many positive effects such as improved self regulation of emotions, improved interpersonal skills and focus!

We might think they don’t like reading. False. They like reading about things they like.

When we think of questioning, we often think about the teacher asking questions and the students answering.  This is a very basic comprehension skill.  What you really want to focus on is the student generating the questions, which is a much higher level comprehension skill.
