Reading aloud to older children — even up to age 14, who can comfortably read to themselves — has benefits both academic and emotional. #readaloud kqed.org/mindshift/28582/why…
The library is a place that says “Come as you are, all are welcome, no one is turned away. You can build family and you can use that family to enact service”—@JasonReynolds83 at #alaac19

#Independentreading builds reading stamina, enlarges vocabulary and background knowledge, and can create a habit of reading in students. Find out more about creating passionate readers through independent reading in our literacy brief. bit.ly/ILALitBrief_CreatePas… @franmcveigh

Using culturally responsive texts isn’t simply a box to check off. Read @zackoryk’s article in Literacy Today about why these texts also need to be appropriately complex and paired with tasks that truly engage the learner. bit.ly/LiteracyToday
Still working on trying to get this project funded! Please help the students at my school site get books that they need! (Please share my post!) Check out my classroom on @DonorsChoose! I'd love your help to bring my project to life: donorschoo.se/e/ZSXNsP1cAT
