@aimes0103 I need to share some posts but will have to dig them up. Accessibility tools like screen readers and text to speech just part of my kids every literary workflow. When Ben researches dogs for his podcast he uses everything #ILAchat
@JDSharkey I couldn't agree more, one of the lasting mistakes of Western culture in my mind was deciding that argument = the highest form of knowledge and arguing is how we got there, an argument is just a story with extra BS #ILAchat
@SoniaCabell One of my favorite things is when I walk into preschool classrooms and I see a name writing journal as part of everyday practice. So awesome to scroll back from prek3 through pk4 #ILAchat
@LaurenTTutor718 not saying disadvantaged at all by phonemic awareness, trying to make point our national #CCSS curriculum and focus on defining literacy and how it is taught reflects dominant narrative rather than oral traditions of many students #ILAchat
why #ScienceOfReading such a dangerous meme pushed by parent activist groups not science. People forget footnotes of history but NRP noted that time and budget did not allow for the exploration of writing research and impact on reading #ILAchat
#Hey #EDU307Fall19 #edu307 here is another picture book recommendation: https://twitter.com/DrKennethKunz/status/1195154313473069063 Keep them coming folks.
They play at writing they play with language, we mix in a bit of instruction on systematic basics while creating fun ways to engage with text throughout the pre-school classroom. #ILAchat
@adamprocter My bad https://discursive.adamprocter.co.uk/ I should have just pinged you with a webmnetion rather than on twitter....but had a thought...needs a cool mind mapping/flow chart tool, you are building one...how cool would it be for kids to be pilot testers?
One short comings of #CCSS is mess it makes with how we play with words & sounds..scope out literary devices through k-8, the sequence and reasoning makes no sense. Do fiurwtive language in preschool, always encourage kids to manipulate sound #ILAchat
@rachel_lauver Recognize we should redefine text and writing to mean not just encoding meaning in words. Might be a mode the child wants to write in...If not what is favorite thing in whole wide world..every kid has em...use a sentence starter #ILAchat
The same poetry lesson I open up with in Kindergarten I use in my #HigherEd classrooms, 1:) write with the senses, 2:) describe a picture with two different moods. Storytelling and writing is embodied, use the affordances of your world #ILAchat
All of my kids have had blogs since kindergarten, make sure we realize how we write has shifted from print to pixel as well. Meaning making often involves as much design as copy. #ILAchat
Want to see an example of drawing unsubstantiated conclusions from educational research? Check out this story on NAEP scores and screen time: https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2019/11/08/screen-time-up-as-reading-scores-drop.html?cmp=soc-tw-shr #literacies
Published another episode of #7MinuteTeachingTip https://jgregorymcverry.com/notes/2019-11-15-2 In this episode I cover the basic research, assumptions, and share a few tips for teaching note taking #literacies #elachat #nctevillage (captions coming for screen reader friends)
@LaurenTTutor718 My fault I may not have been clear. I am NOT saying teaching phonemic awareness is culturally bias, I am saying the fact that instruction should end in 2nd grade is a reflection of our bias to the dominant narrative. #ILAchat
#smallpoems In this color of sound incandescent notes vibrate on the neck of nothingness for music crawls out from spaces between notes harmony driven from source collapsing on the event horizon of their souls
If you focus more on assessing the space of your classroom as a community of writers rather than just individual writing skills of emergent writers we will improve our classrooms #ILAchat
It is a universal truth want better readers, encourage more writing, want better writers encourage more reading #ilachat ...other universal truth...pre-school teachers know best
Write a poem you can use rimes or rhymes any number of times no matter the on set that gets you started just share the journey students need to see you as a writer in their community of authors #ILAchat #smallpoems
@DrKennethKunz I am collecting picture book recommendations for my #edu307Fall19 #edu307 class right now. What are the must-have picture books needed in every elementary and pre-school classroom? #ILAchat
