Year 7 and Year 8 have started to DEAR - Drop Everything And Read - we want our students to read for pleasure, for mental health and to improve reading ages. 15 minutes, 3 times a week! Mr Ahmad is also listening to students read and asking questions about the book they are reading!

The surge of ai and its ignorance of taste, making things better by adding more, and so on, is correlating with the average lack of consideration for #creation, #art and #artists and global #antiintellectualism ; highlighting global reluctance to partake into any activity requiring to think by oneself. #literacy #criticalthinking #CriticalLiteracy #literacyMatters #ai #artificialintelligence #medialiteracy #populism #facism

I recently read about how over half of the American population is at Level 1 Literacy (Grade 6 or lower). Together with how low the population is in some States, Trump and American political outcomes makes lots of sense in a dark #Absurdist way.šŸ˜– As a retired Canadian teacher (English, Developmental Literacy, Media Literacy, & Special Ed), I am struck with pity, despair, and anger. #America is being barely held together with spit and baling wire. Just how is it still standing? :bd25:

The Lucy Project means so much to me because it empowers children with reading difficulties to overcome challenges and thrive. By providing evidence-based literacy interventions and professional development for teachers, it ensures that every child, regardless of financial background, has the opportunity to succeed. Supporting this mission helps close the literacy gap and opens doors to brighter futures for kids in our community.

NPR is at it again with horrid SM story blurbs.

Flight attendants’ pay clock doesn’t start until the doors close because they argue.

Really? REALLY, NPR?!

Flight attendants don't earn their hourly pay until aircraft doors close. Here's why 

Arguing that their jobs have become more onerous, flight attendants want to be better compensated for time on the ground, including during boarding.

So fortunate to be a small part of a truly amazing event at Laced Up PDX! First Fantasy donated 268 books to young readers and families of young readers to help them get prepared, and excited about the coming school year!

OMG all these years, I’ve seen the word ā€œscatologicalā€ and have never looked it up until today. My dictionary says scatological = the study of feces (scat). That didn’t make sense to me in the context of the article I was reading, i.e. ā€œher humor is scatologicalā€. Her humor is about šŸ’©šŸ’©?? But thesaurus.com had more modern definitions. Still, I’m chagrined I didn’t know this. #literacyMatters

Scatological = primarily bawdy, coarse, lewd, obscene, or secondarily dirty filthy excremental

Scatological = lewd, obscene and secondarily dirty film excremental

Had a great night last night at Butler Creek Elementary School’s Literacy Night! It was such a pleasure being their featured guest.

@yo_bj holy sh*t

it won't be the woo-scary technology search engines, police state, or Illuminati that does us in, but our own dogged-ignorant provinciality.

This is why we make our books. These are the readers we want to save from slipping through the cracks. Confidence can’t be measured on a numeric lexiled assessment tool.
