“All readers need access to books, time to read them and talk about their thinking.” Spent the morning with the fabulous @pennykittle at #WTLMO who I’ve admired for years.
...significant associations between kindergartners' music rhythm skills & PA (Moritz et al., 2013; Vidal et al., 2020), & between rhythm production skills at school entry and reading and spelling skills at the end of 1st grade (Lundetræ & Thomson, 2018). ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/tr…
Please join us for our upcoming Diversity Recruitment & Networking Fair on Jan. 7th. The School District of Clayton and Ladue School District are partnering for this event. Meet and interview with administrators and staff from both districts! #claytonexperience

I’m so excited to be at the (virtual) Phonics and Phonemic Awareness Institute 3-6! Miscues are a window into a student’s phonics knowledge…not an indication of a “bad speller” @natalielouis13 #TCRWP #RSDreading #RSDwriting
Tips for instructional leaders who facilitate professional development. Here are a few ideas to support professional development for teachers with and without designated time. @CompassPd
Read aloud is the perfect time to model the work of proficient readers. Invite students into the work with these simple tips for engagement. How do you invite Ss into your read aloud? 📚 #literacyTipTuesday #RSDreading #RSDLearns

Whether it’s a whole class conversation, book club, or partnership, engagement during collaborative conversations is key! Keep Ss participating w/silent signals, the conversation going (& growing) with accountable talk, and throw out a safety net when needed #LiteracyTipTuesday

Part of embracing approximations is celebrating what IS being done and nudging Ss to grow in their thinking. Creating microprogressions can encourage this work and can be used as a tool by both Ts and Ss #LiteracyTipTuesday #RSDreading #RSDwriting
What’s in a compliment? SO much! Whether you’re rapidly engaging Ss in compliment conferences or another conferring structure, being mindful of how a compliment is worded is key #LiteracyTipTuesday #RSDreading #RSDwriting #RSDLearns
