Thankful for an exciting, empowering two days of professional learning alongside @apsupdate educators 🧑🏫. Armed with new understandings about how the science of reading impacts secondary readers, we examined new ELA standards to imagine responsive approaches to complex texts. 📚✔️ @JSerravallo
Middle School ELA! @CatoosaSchools Teachers were in the midst of a dystopian short stories unit 😳 focusing on identifying theme. We chose not to replace original texts w/ abridged versions, but instead offered supportive and scaffolded oral readings of complex texts to tee up complex thinking. We gave readers copies of short texts 📖, and took away the 💻 to support deep comprehension 🧠. Teachers could quickly peer into student thinking via stop and jots 🗒️ and planned instructional next steps! @JSerravallo
Take a 👀 at the new website, and reach out if you are curious about the powerful collaboration happening in classrooms across the country.

The researchers estimated: If a student spends 10 hours reading in print in their free time, their ability to comprehend will likely be six to eight times higher than if they read on digital devices for the same amount of time. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.… (6/8)

This is a cautionary tale. Throwing out one curriculum and swapping it in for a new one is not it. Leaders....are you listening?

Talented teachers in @PikeGASD are expanding their reading small grp practice to include skill based groups. Ts explored ways to explicitly and effectively offer strategies. Next, their peers noticed engagement was high and we could teach more kids in less time. 💥 @JSerravallo
A powerful day with @GrowingRdrsGA where we role played supportive, intentional debriefing sessions that honor teachers’ time and goals. @JSerravallo
Another fascinating conversation! This time @TimRasinski1 and @JSerravallo cover fluency, teacher agency and best practices. Their talk reminds us to lean on our most current reading model and shows how kids could have JOYful interactions with text! ❤️

What tool helps with reading, writing, small groups, conferring and whole class instruction? Read Aloud! @darvictory and I loved planning powerful Read Alouds to launch the year with @glynncoschools teachers! @JSerravallo
I ❤️ summer PD! W/o the hustle and bustle of the school year, teachers can slow down, reflect and (re)imagine next year's curriculum. A lot of discussion and data diving led to smart, engaging, jointly created writing units to kick off the next school year! @JSerravallo
