"What is the best advice you would give to teachers trying to help their students become better readers?"

Professors Stephen Krashen and Richard Allington contributed their responses in last week's post. Today, I'm lucky to have contributions from two other educators, thinkers, and writers who have also had a major impact on my teaching (and, I'm sure, on the work of many other teachers), Nancie Atwell and Cris Tovani.

(@LarryFerlazzo) "As usual, in order to make this list, a site had to be:

* accessible to English Language Learners and non-tech savvy users.

* free-of-charge.

* appropriate for classroom use.

* completely browser-based with no download required.

It’s possible that a few of these sites began in 2010, but, if so, I’m including them in this list because they were “new to me” in 2011."

I’ve previously posted about our students making “book trailers” (see Making Book Trailers With Fotobabble and Students Making Video “Book Trailers”)

We ran out of time to do many actual videos, but two students made a simple one that we’ll use as a model for next year. You can see it here.

(h/t @LarryFerlazzo) "Data First was created with the idea that data matters. Education data, used well, can help school board members and everyone else who cares about education to make good decisions – ones based, not on the loudest voices or the latest theories, but on the facts about what students need and how they are currently doing."
