ALL kids need high expectations!
High expectations should NOT be:
✖No mistakes
✖No second chances
✖Moving fast
High expectations SHOULD be:
✔Doing challenging things
✔Doing it until you get it right
✔Working hard

Readers need a book, not a lexile level. They need time, not a stop watch. They need choice. They need to discover what they love. They need to dive into books and come up gasping for air so they can dive back in.

Two years ago, I was saying “do you have any questions?”. Last year I switched to “what questions do you have?” It made a difference. Today I tried “ask me two questions”. And they did! And those ?s led to more ?s. It amazes me that the littlest things have such a big impact!

Children learn how to read and move forward with a caring, knowledgeable teacher and wonderful books instead of reading short texts on a computer and answering multiple choice questions. @ERobbPrincipal @DrMaryHoward @dederittman @jeffreykubiak @lester_laminack @teachermantrav

Above all, the books in your classroom library are not there for the purpose of “practicing your reading.” The purpose is to create lifelong readers who have the power of choice. #FPLiteracy

I want every student to love the book they're reading so much they don't want to stop. I want the book to haunt them, disrupt daily tasks, beckon them to read. That can happen when students self-select their books! #choices @ERobbPrincipal @DrMaryHoward @jdolci @NowakRo @tonnet

The classroom is simultaneously a laboratory, a library, an office, and a living room for your students. #FPLiteracy
