Yes I’ve been working on this! “Good job” is so inherent for me. I’ve been looking for ways to be more direct with my feedback. This article focuses on distance learning but is very transferable to in person instruction!

Educators often forget about or neglect fluency which is a necessary bridge to comprehension. My curriculum & assessment prof told us he made it to 5th grade before his teachers realized he was illiterate. He could decode words but not understand them. So many kids slip through the cracks!

I think instilling a love of reading young by reading to kids and modeling good reading for them is important. My hunch is that many struggle with fluency/comprehension and are ashamed about their reading abilities. My 4th grade teacher read 25+ books to us that year. I’ll never forget that. #bfc530

Would love a follow back! I’m a former pre-K teacher who is currently student teaching in early elementary classrooms. I’m passionate about teaching in ways that are equitable. My current assignment is at a Title One school and I adore my placement there!

So many answers to give! But I think mine is basic: any Frog and Toad book. Any Arnold Lobel book, period. I have a special place in my heart for Mouse Soup :)

I have no idea what was linked here or how I did it. But ignore it please 😂

#BFC530 my perspective is that, when we force students who don’t already have a love of reading to read, we are actually sowing resentment. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be reading, because they should. It must be required; but maybe releasing some of the pressure on them when it comes to reading.

Hi! Currently student teaching first grade. Used to teach pre-K. Student teaching kinder full time next semester. I’m so excited to connect with other early childhood teachers as I begin my journey into education!

You’re welcome! I love this idea!
