@SteveChiger @GaleMorrisonEd @SlentzKen @Suchmo83 @Doug_Lemov @ColleenDriggs @researchED_US I still remember her excellent talk at the Brooklyn researchEd back in the day!! I think it might have even been before Reading Reconsidered came out?

It’s really this simple. & the question is: how do we respond? By shrugging our shoulders & allowing exploitation to continue. Or by waking up & joining the collective fight. Mariame Kaba’s words are essential here: “Let this radicalize you, rather than lead you to despair.” https://t.co/NYuVF5aYDd

@k_zac Currently reading Waiting by Ha Jin. Just finished The Garlic Ballads by Mo Yan and Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell before that. I recommend any and all of the above!

@jonesy_miss @KateJones_teach @m_chiles @FunkyPedagogy @HFletcherWood So many :) I’d start w @atharby’s blog, @MsJasmineMN blog, & @Doug_Lemov Reading Reconsidered. & new @SteveChiger book/blog! & @margaretmckeow2 & Isabel Beck on vocab (bringing words to life). Maybe Alan Peat sentence types. That’s probs more than enough to get started 😝

@meli1456 For 5th grade: definitely start w the One Crazy Summer series (and everything by @OneCrazyRita)! Also lovely classic children’s poems by Gwendolyn Brooks - Bronzeville Boys and Girls. My 4th graders also loved as brave as you by @JasonReynolds83!

This thread is so important and if I were writing 4th/5th grade curric right now I’d be doing a unit on forest protectors, pairing texts on #StopCopCity with the beautiful Mildred Taylor novella Song of the Trees… https://t.co/FwvukIAWwf

@darshno @DrMPaff Check out the book Thinking Reading @ThinkReadHQ by Dianne and James Murphy @ThinkReadTweet If you have Ss who really struggle w decoding, https://t.co/QjmrjUkWTV may also be helpful - it’s made for older Ss (but they probs will need intervention on other areas too!)
