Today at the FCS Summer Literacy Institute, we’re learning to strengthen the brain’s orthographic processing system through phonics instruction. It’s fun for students AND teachers! #fcsliteracy @TheSixShifts

Independent reading is not about a level; it’s not about a certain number of minutes. Independent reading is that reading we do that helps us develop independent thoughts - not thoughts directed by anyone else.

The word "text" has the root meaning of weaving, as in "textile." When we write, we weave--past, present. and future; formal and informal; story and argument; mixing genres and even media. Nothing is ever one thing.

“I chose to become a reader because books provided refuge from the storm that was my childhood, and writing also offered me release.” @AngelaStockman Truly, reading and writing are among our most powerful SEL tools; the development of each is a gift we offer to students.

A7 Reciprocity of reading and writing is long supported by research. Yet, we still see so much segmentation of the reading and writing process in practice. Marrying reading/writing in mutually supported ways is still true when the topic is phonics instruction. #G2Great
