Literacy for All

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending Lester Laminack's session on flipping reading workshop into writing workshop. This topic is discussed in his new book: Writers ARE Readers. Of course I had to purchase his book and he signed it! I'm getting quite a collection of signed books in my collection. 

If you ever get the opportunity to see and listen to Laminack do it!! He doesn't disappoint. While he makes you think and reflect on your teaching, he also makes you laugh! He should have an act as a comedian. His session did not disappoint and was one of my favorite sessions so far!

I can't wait to read his book and try out some of his lessons in some of my colleagues classrooms.

More to come....

Literacy for All

I'm so excited to attend Literacy for All Conference in Providence, Rhode Island. I'm currently surrounded by hundreds of teachers of literacy. I can't wait to see many of the gurus of literacy present! I'm ready to push my thinking forward. I'm taking the stance of a learner. ALL teachers should always have this stance, once they quit thinking of themselves as learners, we must remove ourselves from the classroom. We must put our best selves in the classroom each day for our students, the future of our world. So, I ask you...what will you be learning more about this week?
