While I'm not a fan of bats, I absolutely AM a fan of this "new to me" nonfiction text! The introduction. The organization. The text structure. The use of text features to teach more. This text has it all! #edusky #kidlit #educoach

Reading joy! Are we as intentional about explicitly teaching children that reading is (should be) a joyful experience? I really hope so. #EduSky #kidlit
Teacher Friday tired is a particular kind of tired. But Fridays can also be a good time to ask students how they grew as readers, or how they felt about reading this week. Instead of thinking about numbers of minutes or books, how joyful was reading this week? #EduSky #ReadingMatters

Sometimes, the strategy post-it you're going to add to the #AnchorChart needs to be turned into its own 'menu' chart to better support transfer. Working with teachers to support responsive & explicit instruction. #edusky #educoach
