Literacy and Learning Connections
Newsletter
This week we examine relationships with ourselves and others in the learning process.
Starting June 15, for five weeks we will be reading and discussing Engaging Literate Minds. Click here to check out the schedule for this book study.
Why do we stop learning? A possible reason: we haven’t let go of past practices to create space for new ideas.
Jeff Kinney, author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, has a message for all 2020 graduates missing out on important ceremonies (The Boston Globe).
Rhonda Precourt (Literacy Pages) reminds us that we cannot teach independence - students develop it with expert instruction and excellent literacy resources.
Before providing feedback, we have to foster relationships with our students or teachers. Knowing others matters as much as knowing literacy.
Due to the pandemic, all proceeds from new subscriptions in May will be donated to No Kid Hungry and my city’s local food pantry. Thank you for your readership and generosity!
