Teaching with mentor texts is effective when we can talk about the craft techniques in them with precision and clarity. To do this, closely study a text and ask the question, "What exactly is the author doing here as a writer?" Read more: heinemann.com/products/e1328… @HeinemannPub

Book #️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ of summer ✅ I can't believe I've waited so long in my career to read this, but I'm grateful for the second edition to put this on my radar. A classic example of right book, right time. I really hope I can live up to the way it's inspired me in the fall. @KyleneBeers

The SOR case builds on the claim that there is a crisis in U.S. achievement--caused by poor instruction. But reading results from the PISA (2018) and PIRLS (2016) international studies show the US doing comparatively well. A need to improve, always. But a crisis?
