Going to see Wicked today with my daughter. We saw it on Broadway years ago. But just found out it's only Act 1. Disappointing.

Teach your kids to love to read. When new books come into the room, spend some time doing book ads. Hold up each book and discuss. Have kids who already read book, talk about it. Read the books yourself and talk. Then hand the books to kids that want to try. #eduskye

Teach your kids to love to read. Have your struggling readers read with you. They read a page, you read a page. React. Overtly. Laugh, gasp, sob. Show them that books are more than hard words. They are amazing worlds to fall into. #eduskye

Teach your kids to love to read. Read aloud every single day. Choose a chapter book, regardless of grade. Make it exciting, sad, funny, enjoyable. Do not add an assignment to this read aloud. It is for pure enjoyment for the kids. Give them 20-30 minutes a day to just love books! #eduskye

Been thinking a lot about teaching kids to love to read. Have each child pick a book they are not able to read yet because it's too difficult. Have them keep the book in their desk. It's a visual reminder of why they have to push through reading skill lessons. Stay tuned for more strategies. #edusky

I had stopped using Twitter when it switched to X. It's been a long time since I've had to edit my posts and comments to fit the character count. 🤣

Glad to be here and see so many old friends. Is there a reason why I cannot see or submit comments?
