A principal recently told me that some parents don't want their kids "just reading" while at school. He asked what research he could share to show those parents that "just reading" has ACADEMIC benefits. Here it the chart I shared. #DisruptingThinking

And one final thing to consider before we wrap, from ILA’s Children’s #RightsToRead: #ILAchat

Because our next #ILAchat (Feb. 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET) is about #independentreading, we made it the term of the day. How do you incorporate independent reading into your curriculum?

“With their stories, Indigenous writers share the range of their lives, past and present, and we hope that you’ll embrace and share their stories.” Which stories would you recommend or pick out for your students? #IndigenousReads @consciouskidlib t-t.site/2SnHp0w
