A1: Reading is an essential part of a children’s learning and it is important to know the strategies in which help students learn to read in order to learn other knowledge. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
Hi! I'm Maggie Coyne - I've taught for 12 years on the North Shore of Chicago (Winnetka, IL) and I have 7th and 8th grade students in our Language Arts classroom. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
A1: We make time for what we value. By clearly stating our values and beliefs about what children deserve in the classroom, we take one step closer to making that a reality. #ILAchat#globaledchat
Hello! My name is Molly Cline and I am an Elementary Education major with a literacy minor. I am studying at The University of Northern Iowa and am very excited to engage in my first tweet chat! #ILAChat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A1. It’s important to define a child right to read so that everyone understands it is a right. The parents, community, teachers, and the child themselves need to understand and believe in that right. #ILAchat#UNIlited#RightstoRead#Globaledchat
A1: Without the definition of children’s Rights to Read, we don’t know what specific rights these kiddos have pertaining to reading therefore we can’t enact those rights in our classrooms. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILited
Good evening everyone, I’m Juli-Anne. Veteran educator, advocate and promoter of equitable and responsive literacy practices for all children, book and read aloud lover and ILA Board member. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A1: Reading can and will empower all learning. It allows children to dream and be inspired. Reading will also lead to writing, giving children a voice. Reading gives freedom to ideas. #ILAchat#RightsToRead#globaledchat
Massive round of applause for Lara and Team ILA for getting these incredible #RightsToRead in the hands of global educators! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #ILAchat#globaledchat
A1: It’s important so that students, on the global scale, are able to have equitable opportunity to learn and be productive members of their society. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A1: It is important to define children's Rights to Read because we need to know exactly what it is we are working towards. This way we can effectively plan a course of action. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#GlobalEdChat
A1: WE should define children's Rights to Read so that all educators and parents are aware of them and are able to include them all in their classrooms. Without a clear definition some aspects of the rights may be left out or forgotten about. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A1: It's important that those of us in education join forces to define/defend why literacy is a life-changer for kids. The July ruling in Detroit proves that we must band together to support the fact that EVERY child has RIGHTS when it comes to reading. #ILAchat#globaledchat
WOW! So many educators in here to follow this evening! Makes my head spin to read these responses and click to follow them! Building a #PLN of learners who adore literacy is stellar!! #globaledchat and #ilachat
A1: Defining children’s right to read allows us to acknowledge there is an issue of equality in access to resources and quality of instruction. Once that is established then the necessary steps can be taken to try to change this across the globe. #ILAChat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
Mike, Tech Integrator at Lake Shore CSD in NY here for #globaledchat#ILAchat. Looking forward to learning with all of you tonight. Thanks @hsingmaster for organizing!
A1: Defining it gives more insight onto what children should be reading, how long they should be reading, and how reading can benefit children. This can help teachers as well as parents when opening children up to reading and different books. #ILAchat#UNILITED#GlobalEdChat
A1: It's important to define children's Rights to Read because reading is an important part of a child's learning and development. All children should be given equal opportunities to expand their minds & explore books, especially ones they want. #ilachat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A1: Every child deserves and HAS the basic human right to read. With reading being an everyday part of life, it is on high demand that all children gain the ability to read. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A1: Defining a Child's Right To Read provides a "Bill of Rights" that can be shared by professionals in an organization, such as @ILAToday Provides a community of educators working toward similar goals and allows the group to articulate purpose! #ilachat#globaledchat
A1 In this age of data-driven decisions, we have lost the heart & soul of reading. These rights remind us that we must teach Ss to read for more than just test scores. #globaledchat#ILAchat#RightsToRead
A1: It is necessary to define it so everyone understands what it is, what it details, and how important it is for our children. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A1: I believe it is necessary to define children's rights because as a learner, they need to learn to love to read to be able to grow as people, find themselves in new worlds, and grow as learners #ILAchat#globaledchat#unilited
Hello everyone, my name is Kaliah Dothard and I attend the University of Northern Iowa. I am currently majoring in Elementary Education with an endorsement in Special Education. I am excited to participate in my first tweet chat! #ILAchat#globaledchat
A1: I believe it is necessary to define the rights because children deserve access to education, resources, and opportunities to read. I believe it is the first stepping stone for ALL learning. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#Unilited
It’s important to clearly define rights so everyone (lawmakers, districts, administrators, teachers, parents, and students) are on the same page. #globaledchat#ILAchat
A1: I think all children have the fundamental right to read as much or whatever they want because people have the freedom of speech. Children are people so they should be able to read what they want. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
Defining #rightstoread empowers students to enjoy reading on their terms and in ways that are catered to their personal learning needs. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A1 - Reading is a fundamental right in our world and needs to be respected like all other rights. If teachers are not giving opportunities for reading and writing then all literacy are going to harder to establish. They need to read to be functioning society members #globaledchat
A1. Unfortunately you often have to defend rights if you don’t want them taken away. It shows kids the importance of reading and could help give them a sense of empowerment in choosing what or how they read. #globaledchat#ilachat
A1: These Rights to Read for all children are like our US Constitution! Write it down, ratify it, spread the news! Live it! Literacy is the way out of poverty! #ILAchat#Globaledchat
@ILAToday You are giving them many different opportunities. By giving children a choice you are motivating them to read. You are allowing them to make small choices that effect how they see the world. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNIlited
A1: #ilachat#globaledchat@web20classroom and I talk about this constantly - the shared responsibility of all educators to support literacy and what guarantees we provide to students!
A1: The #RightstoRead delineate what kids need and deserve when it comes to literacy and growth. Reading time is not always protected in schools due to testing, and it helps to have a reputable resource to point to why it should be. #ilachat#globaledchat
A1. Literacy is such an important part of the formula to advance our work. Defining the CRTR anchors this important work and creates a spirit of urgency to collectively engage others around the world to join this movement.#ILAchat#globaledchat
A1: It is necessary to define children's Right to Read because we can't just assume that every child has access to quality books, and have the time and opportunities to engage in reading. #globaledchat#ILAchat
@ILAToday#ILAChat#GlobalEdChat A1. We need to define these because we no longer need to think about what can I do for the kids in my class, but what does each and every child need to have their rights. It changes your thinking and focus.
@ILAToday A1: You are giving them many different opportunities. By giving children a choice you are motivating them to read. You are allowing them to make small choices that effect how they see the world. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNIlited
A1: Necessary to define Children’s Right to Read because we can no longer derail instructional practices, choice and voice of children domestic & abroad. Children Must gain our advocacy in space of what is beyond a civil right. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A1. To encourage literacy at all ages and to help a child grow in all areas academically, professionally, and personally. Explain this is their right and they have the freedom to express it! #ILAchat#UNILITED#globaledchat
#globaledchat#ILAchat We must ensure a child's right to read because we have the knowledge and expertise to know and understand what development occurs in the reading brain that extends to sophisticated thinking.
A1: So people can be more educated on the topic. So many people forget the importance of reading. Without reading you can’t do math, science, and much more. Reading is everywhere! That is why it is important to fight for a child’s right to read. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A#1: The Rights to Read reminds us that children are the only ones who decide what they learn, so they should have the same freedom over what they are reading to expand their knowledge. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A1: #ilachat#globaledchat@web20classroom and I talk about this constantly - the shared responsibility of all educators to support literacy and what guarantees we provide to students!
A1 Whoo just reviewing the rights for a second - so many reasons to define them! The 1st that stood out to me was to help make learning more equitable for all diverse Ss around the world. Texts that mirror, provide windows, and opens doors 🙏 #ILAchat#globaledchat
A1: Reading allows children to learn at there own pace and on subjects that interest them. It allows them to create a world where they are their own writers in a place where they can feel the most secure. #ilachat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
A2: It is our role to make sure children have access to a wide variety of books whether that is on print or technology. We need to advocate for these rights so kiddos can continue to grow in literacy. #ILAChat#globaledchat#UNILited
A2: Educators maintain the responsibility to promote student reading both in and out of school and providing strategies and guidance in fluency and comprehension. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A2: Educators can help enact and protect children’s Rights to Read by giving them free choice in the material they choose to read. It’s our job to teach the skills and techniques, not to impose certain genres or themes onto students. #ILAChat#UNILITED#GlobalEdChat
A#2: Educators are expose children to books, what they have to offer, and so we must protect the children’s rights to read. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#GlobalEdChat
A2: Educators should promote and foster environments filled with literacy for the students that they meet. We have the responsibility to help children read so that they choose to read and ultimately enjoy reading. #ILAChat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
A2: Educators need to be advocates for their students rights to read. Advocated for them to learn and for them to have the time to read. Educators need to make reading a priority and model that they value reading. #ILAchat#UNIlited#Rightstoread#Globaledchat
A2: Educators are the critical link in ensuring children have the right to read! Both in teaching but also advocating for and explaining the importance of EVERY child being literate. #ilachat#globaledchat
A2: First, it’s important that teacher leaders read and share these rights with colleagues and literacy stakeholders. SPREAD THE WORD! We must begin to understand and discuss these rights in order to take action. Your WHY will lead you to your HOW! #ILAchat#globaledchat
A2: As an educator I choose books and reading materials that are educational for my students and to not shield them from certain materials. Children have to right to have access to all types of reading materials and be encouraged to read. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A1: We need to define children's #RightstoRead b/c people (inside AND outside of education) will try to minimize the importance of reading. They will try to tell you that "just reading" isn't teaching or learning. They will be wrong. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
A2: We need to advocate for children. The #RightsToRead frame reading as personal, authentic, meaning-making experiences that change who we are as readers and feel compel us to take action in our world. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A1 Defining a right to read to me emphasizes its importance as something everyone deserves. In terms of learning I can’t think of much more important than this. #globaledchat#ILAchat
A2 EVERYONE who works with children, no matter their role, is responsible for nurturing literate citizens. If we don't all pitch in & ensure Ss are given ample opportunities to read, then who will? #globaledchat#ILAchat#RightsToRead
Greetings! a bit late to the party but grateful to be here. Special Educator, Instructional Coach, and Professional Development hacker in Rochester,MI #Globaledchat
A2: We want children to have this solid foundation to build off of, in order to provide that, these rights need to be enacted. Teachers are student advocates, part of that is supporting and upholding these rights. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A2: Educators are one of many people responsible to stand up for our kids. We must fight to have their voices heard because so many don't take children seriously. It is our job to make our student's voices heard and be a part of their impact #ILAchat#globaledchat#unilited
I agree that we need to have a variety of books because that provides different levels of reading for the students and it provides different interests, which motivates the students to read #ILAChat#globaledchat#UNILited
A2: It is our role to make sure children have access to a wide variety of books whether that is on print or technology. We need to advocate for these rights so kiddos can continue to grow in literacy. #ILAChat#globaledchat#UNILited
A1: Rights to Read are most important for undeserved communities here in the US but esp for children in countries where schooling is not universal! They must be protected! #ILAchat#globaledchat
Educators are responsible for empowering their students and instilling in them a passion for learning! By protecting a child's right to read educators are providing the opportunity for success in a student's learning journey #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A2. Educators should read as many professional books as they can get their hands on to learn as much as possible about reading. Read, collaborate with others about what you've read. Read some more! #globaledchat and #ilachat
A2: We must give them the skills and strategies most importantly time to practice in books of their choice Have a varied library with many levels, topics and ideas. Meet with them, talk with them, check their understanding and support them. #ILAChat#globaledchat#RightsToRead
A2: The role is to give children a wide variety of books, articles, magazines, and different material for children to read. There must be a supportive environment where students will feel comfortable reading. Reading time also needs to be given #ILAchat#UNILITED#GlobalEdChat
A1: It is necessary to define children's Right to Read because we can't just assume that every child has access to quality books, and have the time and opportunities to engage in reading. #globaledchat#ILAchat
#globaledchat#ilachat The most important factor in a child learning to read is the knowledge of his or her teacher. Every teacher must think and behave as reading/writing teacher. Every teacher must professionally develop in the area of literacy.
A2 We all have been “called” to this incredible work and embrace the responsibilities associated with enacting and protecting children’s #RightsToRead#ILAchat#globaledchat
A2: As educators, we should allow children independent reading time, where they can read their choice of books, and they can go at their own pace. We should also provide a wide range of texts for our students to choose freely from. #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A2: It's our responsibility to make sure the students know and understand their rights, and as educators we need to be the voice for our students and protect their Rights to Read #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A2: It is vital for educators to create an environment where reading is encouraged. We must provide a wide range of resources that meet the students’ interests. It is our responsibility to nurture them and foster a love of reading. #ILAChat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A2: by showing kids they have the choice to read it shows and edited that everyone has rights. This is a very important role to have as an educator. #ILAtoday#globaledchat
A2: From being able to extend time in the classroom for reading or creating a supportive reading environment, teachers have a major responsibility to make sure these Rights are met! #ILAChat#UNILitEd#GlobalEdChat
A2: To deny students the right to read or a subpar literacy education impacts not only their academics, but their career, personal and civic lives. #ilachat#globaledchat Literacy, truly touches all aspects of our lives @web20classroom
A2: One of our responsibilities is to provide our readers with a classroom library that contains a plethora of books that serve as windows and mirrors for our Ss. #ILAChat#globaledchat
A2: Educators & everyone everywhere have access to one of the most powerful things in today’s world… SOCIAL MEDIA! Educators cannot only be a strong advocate in their classrooms but also take it to social media pages. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A2: I have to add. We must read to them as well, expose them to different genres and ideas through read aloud and model what reading looks and sounds like. #ILAchat#globaledchat#RightsToRead
A2: As teachers, we have a big responsibility ensuring every child's right to read because sometimes we are the only advocates for Their rights. Our students matter! Their social emotional health matters! Their rights matter! #ILAChat#globaledchat
A2 - Teachers need to recognize the unique struggles students bring to their own reading experiences and reach into their toolboxes and help find the right tool for the right student. If we are going to make change, it starts with individuals. #ILAchat#globaledchat
Yes! We must provide TIME to practice reading! You wouldn't ask a S to play the clarinet without practicing first; why do we do this to our readers? #globaledchat#ILAchat#RightsToRead
A2. Educators need to set aside at least 20 mins per day for a child to read what they are interested in. Encourage and develop a love for reading. #ILAchat#UNILITED#globaledchat
A2: It is our responsibility to learn these rights and teach them to our students. By doing this, we can encourage readers to grow. #ilachat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
A2: We have a big role in introducing reading to our students while can shape the way they view reading for the rest of their lives. It is also our job to stand up for our students if they are not being given to them. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A2: Teachers should be promoting reading, but also promoting the reading of various different types of genres. It is so important we are giving these children these opportunities! We can give them the environment and the safety to read! #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#Unilited
A2: Educators have a responsibility to devote time in class to reading and to educate both adults and children that that time is not "wasted." We are responsible for providing our children with books they LOVE, not books that are LEVELED. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
It is really amazing! How are those fingers holding up! I am tweeting, retweeting, and following like CRAZY! These chats are ON FIRE! #ILAchat#globaledchat
I agree. Not all children have the opportunities at home to read so as educators we need to create an environment that supports/encourage reading! #GlobalEdChat#ILAchat
A2: It is vital for educators to create an environment where reading is encouraged. We must provide a wide range of resources that meet the students’ interests. It is our responsibility to nurture them and foster a love of reading. #ILAChat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A2: Educators hold a big chunk of responsibility for students’ abilities to read, and are in charge of building students’ vocabulary and stamina. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
Yes! My son is in 3rd grade and his teacher is great about giving them free reading time. He also has to read at least 15 minutes on his own at home. #globaledchat#ilachat
A2 Our individual roles may vary as our skill sets and geographical areas do, but the synergy needed to expand our reach should be our collective responsibility. #ILAchat#globaledchat
#globaledchat#ilachat I also believe that as educators we must be on the cutting edge of research into the effect of screen time on literacy development. There are new findings all of the time.
A2: #MakeReadingAPriority by pushing back on ineffective policies & curriculum that prohibits Ss the opportunity to learn how to read. Start in the classrooms by modeling & providing wide-reading opportunities, diverse books that Ss can relate to, & TIME. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
A2: responsibility to see your students + get to know their lives. seems critical in order to design reading experiences that protect the rights to read #ILAchat#globaledchat
Q3: Children’s #RightsToRead starts by declaring that all children have the basic human right to read. What does this mean, and how can educators partner with families, caregivers, and policymakers to support this basic right? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A2: roles encompass the journey we’re on With students. We must facilitate, initiate and innovate the spaces and pathways that will rewrite laws, government and society to enable and ensure children have a guaranteed right to read. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A3: We read to understand, to learn, to better our lives. Educators we should stress to families that they should encourage their children to read. Partner with caregivers so they can encourage younger children that reading is fun. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A2. Together you are so much stronger than any one person alone. Collaboration is key to presenting the very best literacy instruction possible. #globaledchat and #ilachat
A3: Children are no different than adults & they too have rights. If we connect with others we could start book programs to make sure all children have access to a wide variety of books especially ones that expose them 2 their own/other cultures. #ILAChat#globaledchat#UNILited
Excellent point! I agree - there is so much confusing information about screen time out there right now. Parents don't know what to do and could use guidance. #globaledchat#ilachat
A3: By bringing real life situations to the table. We are around kids day in and day out. Tell stories and give examples of how hard it is to live in a world not knowing how to read when there are nothing but words around you. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A#3: We all have the ability to read, therefore we can read whatever and whenever we choose. Educators can partner with others to ensure this right is supported throughout all aspects of their day. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#GlobalEdChat
A3: This means that every child, no matter their socioeconomic status, culture, or anything else, should be allowed to read. Educators can support this by providing resources to families to provide these opportunities for the child to read. #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A2: We must not only do whatever we can to protect students' reading time in school, but read ourselves, both in pedagogy and in content (new, fresh texts geared toward the kids we teach), so that we can put new, current, relevant books in kids' hands. #ilachat#globaledchat
A3: This means letting people know that there is a problem in education. Many teachers, caregivers, etc. don't realize how great this problem is because they are not seeing it everyday. We are, which means we have a responsibility to do something about it. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
Hey there @northerniowa! Your College of Ed preservice teachers are representing BIG time tonight for the #ILAchat#globaledchat chats! Current educators love seeing future educators joining in this important conversation on Children's #RightsToRead! #HighFives
A2: Educators have a responsibility to acknowledge and understand negative attitudes about reading and work to shift them through love and patience, not lecture and frustration. We have a responsibility to model reading and promote passion. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
A3. Having a right to read means that is is not determined by social class, culture, ethnicity or any other factors. Educators need to communicate the importance of this to the community so everyone puts in effort to the child’s right. #ILAchat#UNIlited#Globaledchat
A2: Educators must be willing to work with students on whatever they choose to read. That being said we should have multiple genres and different background books to offer students. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A3:This means that ALL children, regardless of race, income, etc.,have the right to read.Educators must work with policymakers and communicate with families, encouraging them to visit the library and to set aside free time at home for reading.#ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A2. Helping them have access to books, exposing them to different genres and types of books, helping them learn how to find good books for them, sharing our reading lives, & knowing the difference between age appropriate books and censorship. #globaledchat#ilachat
A3: Educators can partner with caretakers to support the teaching of reading skills and building a foundation of literacy. Providing resources for parents who are helping teach their children to read is an essential role of educators. #ILAChat#UNILITED#GlobalEdChat
A1: Reading is a fundamental skill that opens up infinite paths. Reading is the key to success. Defining these rights shows the importance of reading and serves as a point of reference to utilize if reading is ever questioned or challenged. #ILAchat#globaledchat#RightstoRead
A2- #RightsToRead#ILAChat#GlobaledChat we have the responsibility to share, repeat, promote and inspire other educators, and to do this even when they don’t seem interested or to buy-in - the responsibility to provide these rights to all students!
A3: Teachers can partner with parents and families to make sure that their students are reading outside of the classroom. They can educate people in the community on how important literacy is and why everyone needs it. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNIlited
A3: You’re here because you believe reading is as important as food, shelter, & security...basic human rights and not privileges. We must work together to voice that belief and address root causes of illiteracy. Let’s get books in the hands of kids! #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
A2: Responsibilities are many but bested only by our legacy as educators. If not us, then who will do this work that is necessary and timely NOW to enact Children’s Rights To Read. Children here there and everywhere, this is a MUST. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A3. Educators could apply for grants to help support classroom or school libraries or hold book fairs to have books donated to their classrooms to help increase access to a diversity of books. #ILAchat#UNILITED#globaledchat
A3: Children deserve to have a literacy enriched life. Families, caregivers, and the community can partner together by being positive literature role models and engaging in conversations about what the child is reading. #ILAChat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
A3: we can provide our students with various resources and nurture their passion for building a life long reading life. This includes funding for classroom libraries and public libraries #ILAchat#globaledchat#unilited
I'm so impressed to see so many preservice teachers here tonight too! Congratulations @northerniowa for showing your teachers how to build their PLN through Twitter! #ILAchat#globaledchat
In reply to
@JenWilliamsEdu, @northerniowa, @northerniowa
A3: We need to allow children to read what they want, when they want. Educators can partner with parents by encouraging them to read with their kids at home, and have books for them to read. The children should be encouraged to share what read. #ILAchat#UNILITED#GlobalEdChat
A3: All children deserve to see themselves as someone worth writing about, see others as people worth learning about, and see ways to grapple with real-life situations in a low-stakes, safe way. (1/?) #ilachat#globaledchat
A3. Giving them access to books. Recognizing the power of choice. Giving them permission to abandon books. Finding ways to promote reading and not kill the joy of it. Supporting school and public libraries. #globaledchat
A3: The basic right to read to me means that this is an aspect in every child’s life that should be encouraged, practiced, and taught whether it is by parents or educators. We all have a responsibility to encourage and promote reading. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A3 Our work can not be done in isolation and requires parents and communities as partners. This important right is critical to the facilitation of multiple pathways to a successful future. #ILAchat#globaledchat
Q3: Children’s #RightsToRead starts by declaring that all children have the basic human right to read. What does this mean, and how can educators partner with families, caregivers, and policymakers to support this basic right? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A3. It means all children have the ability to read no matter what age or where they are from. We can partner with families and others by having them give the children opportunities to read to them. They can also help fund the child. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#RightsToRead#UniLitEd
A3: I think declaring needs is important, but I think this goes hand in hand with strategies to demonstrate how/why this should be the norm #globaledchat#ILAchat
A2) An educators role is to position students as active participants in the process. Students need to understand the importance of reading and take an active role in its creation. #Globaledchat#RightstoRead#ILAchat
A3: We must be the voice and share the importance. We must not bend. We should do what we can to provide books at home. I wrote a @DonorsChoose that allows my students to buy one book a month from @ScholasticClub . Make it priority. #ILAchat#globaledchat
I’ve even seen Ts tap into comics to help. Sometimes you have to be willing to search far and wide...or in some cases the answer could be right under our nose. #globaledchat#ILAchat
A3: We cannot deny a student from reading any book (genre, subject, theme, etc.) As educators, we can talk to parents and families about topics we see a child enjoy and from that find more readings that correlate with the students interest #ilachat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
Q3: Children’s #RightsToRead starts by declaring that all children have the basic human right to read. What does this mean, and how can educators partner with families, caregivers, and policymakers to support this basic right? #ILAchat#globaledchat
It means I don’t limit children by Lexile or page count or what have you. Yes, kids should read books that fit that. But I won’t* tell students that they can’t have a book bc it’s too hard or too easy. It’s just in addition. (I’m a teacher librarian.) #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
All children's #RightsToRead means that every child - even those who don't return your books, can't afford to buy their own books, don't know what they like to read, say they hate to read - deserve books that they can understand and enjoy. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
Q3: Children’s #RightsToRead starts by declaring that all children have the basic human right to read. What does this mean, and how can educators partner with families, caregivers, and policymakers to support this basic right? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A3: The one thing that we as educators MUST NEVER DO is::: give up on a child...
I can't think of a more worthy cause than ensuring all students who walk out the school's doors can READ! #ilachat#globaledchat
A2: Responsibilities also in our focus on the world and how to teach it, solve its problems and heal it’s ills. Children. Sitting in front of us everyday are the humans that will grow up to one day lean and participate in That work. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A3 (ctd.): Educators can with community members to develop partnerships to fill classrooms with relevant, engaging, and culturally responsive texts. Nix the homework worksheets and ask students to read with their families at night. #ilachat#globaledchat
A3: I LOVE Q3! Reminding me that the rights to read aren't just school-based. What ARE our roles as a society to protect and promote the right to read? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A3. Partner with families and the community with a specific plan for involvement. Go to where they live and build connections, hold your meetings in subdivision community rooms, ask ....
what can we do to help you, help your child? #globaledchat and #ilachat
A3: This means that each child should have opportunity to learn to read. In order to partake in this, children need reading material. Advocating for those materials in all environments (at home and school). Policymakers come in big with the $$$ #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A3 Children should be surrounded by a diverse set of texts at school & at home. We must also recognize that reading is reading is reading! Comic books, graphic novels, online magazines....it's all reading & we all should recognize it as such! #globaledchat#ILAchat#RightsToRead
A3: Just giving support is absolutely huge. But spreading the word about books and how they improve knowledge is a good idea as well. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A2: Educators should provide voice and choice; a voice to advocate and opportunities for exploration in a safe and non-judgemental environment. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#RightstoRead
A3: #ilachat#globaledchat This declaration should take the form of a firm resolve to ensure that every single child becomes literate. We have to stop accepting reading failure and demand the resources needed to reach every kid. We already know what we need to do!
I had 23 people donate $9 to purchase books for my students this year. One of the donors actually donated an extra $90, as she saw the value for other students than just mine to receive books! She is a college student - in education! :) #globaledchat
A3: This gives students the learning they DESERVE no matter race, religion, etc. Providing others with this knowledge like the parents and being to give resources or ideas is something we as teachers can do to support this right! #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#Unilited
A1: Literacy is a critical piece of a learner’s skill set. Clearly defining rights is all about articulation, common expectations and language, and shared goals. Our students deserve it. All learners deserve it. #globaledchat
A3 - Formulate common goals and ways to achieve those goals. Notify all stakeholders of the new programs or ideas and strive to see what works and what doesn't. Every child needs to have a support system and that support system needs to talk. #ILAchat#globaledchat
That's fantastic!!! Is she here with you? We have a small group of professors that are working on connecting all our preservice teachers and would love to connect! @AffinitoLit@drmollyness#ILAchat#globaledchat
In reply to
@katelynwittrock, @mslarson2020, @northerniowa, @AffinitoLit, @drmollyness
YES!!!! Nothing is more disheartening when a child is more worried about their level or speed then enjoying and learning! Level Books, Never Children! #ilachat#globaledchat
A3 (ctd): And policy-makers at the district, state, and national level need to hear from educators who understand that the way to get better at reading and writing is to read more. Period. We need to be loud and active and consistent and persistent. #ilachat#globaledchat
A3: A home-school partnership is essential for a healthy reading life. Communicating with parents about the value of independent reading and choice is necessary, as is providing books at school, especially when they might not be available at home. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
Q3: Children’s #RightsToRead starts by declaring that all children have the basic human right to read. What does this mean, and how can educators partner with families, caregivers, and policymakers to support this basic right? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A3: No child should be told "no" when they ask if they can read. Let their parents, caregivers and policy makers know how critical reading is at all age groups. #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A3: The ability to read is a powerful tool in our world. By standing up for children's right to read, we are giving them the power to succeed! To support this right, we must also support policies that encourage reading in every child's life. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
I have about 200 comics in my classroom, along with novels, board games, student published work, maps, and non-fiction. Diversity matters when you want to help students read. #globaledchat#ILAchat
A4: For some reason parents might now want their child to read or perhaps read certain things. Students should be allowed to read for both fun and knowledge but promoting their rights to read what they want may be a challenge. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A4: Lack of technology & independent reading. 1 solution is reworking the daily schedule & fit in the best you can some extra time 4 reading. Try to schedule times for all students to have access to technology to share globally. #ILAChat#globaledchat#UNILited
A4: It's hard to get kids interested in reading, then to have enough resources for kids. We need to encourage our tails off to kids how fun and interesting reading is. We need to find them books of interest. There is a book out there for everyone. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A4: A big problem that teachers face is a lack of funding, it can be hard to fund a good classroom library on your own. The biggest thing that you can do is to know what your resources are and USE THEM! #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A3. Take a minute to read the results of this study.
BOOKS IN THE HANDS OF STUDENTS!
Give away books everyday, all day in your school to help build home libraries!! #globaledchat and #ilachat
Hey there @northerniowa! Your College of Ed preservice teachers are representing BIG time tonight for the #ILAchat#globaledchat chats! Current educators love seeing future educators joining in this important conversation on Children's #RightsToRead! #HighFives
A3 It takes a village. We’ve held cultural literacy nights with stations that welcomed all. 1000s of books were donated. Community events like this can open up lots of convo and celebrate the work being done by all. #globaledchat#ILAchat
A4: Some potential challenges may be that some children may not want to read. They may hate reading! These can be overcome by creating some fun reading activities, or by doing read-alouds, since these can get students motivated to read. #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A4: Thankfully, the #RightsToRead focus on authentic, student-centered learning driven by a knowledgeable and connected educator. For some schools where a curriculum takes center-stage instead, a shift in mindset might be needed. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A4: Finding available books that are appropriate and engaging can be a challenge in many place. Digital books help, if internet access is available. #globaledchat#ilachat
A4. A challenge educators may encounter could be not having enough time in their schedule to allow Individual Reading time during class time. #ILAchat#UNILITED#globaledchat
A4. Potential challenges is that not everyone views it has a right but a privilege. And not everyone values or cares about reading the same. To change that, we have to change the mindset about reading and its importance. #ILAchat#UNIlited#Rightstoread#Globaledchat
Q4: Some challenges may be getting access to more resources and teachers can try to utilize free resources like internet sources and their public libraries #ILAchat#globaledchat#unilited
A3: I taught in a HS in a shared building w/ 7 other schools. There was a lunchtime book club that spread through on our hall - included Ts, Ss, librarian, school safety, other staff. Soon, adults and Ss were discussing the books in the hallways or cafe! #ILAchat#globaledchat
A#4: There could be nit-picky people that don’t agree with certain aspects like kids setting their time, but this extra time stated can be found in many other places, this just will need to be stated calmly to those concerned #ILAchat#UNILitEd#GlobalEdChat
@ILAToday#ILAChat#GlobaledChat#RightsToRead A3: the right “to” read. It is an action that they must “do”. Advocating for readers not test scores. If we want proficient grade level readers. They are going to have to read, we must share that with all in education.
A4: Educators may struggle being able to acquire enough literature resources for their classroom. Teachers, or people around them, could ask for donations, like books and games, to benefit the students. #ILAChat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
A4: Policy makers who aren't fully educated on topics dealing with children’s education. All we can do is fight back with knowledge and facts. We are the front line of teaching our students the knowledge they need to be successful. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A4: Part of children’s Rights to Read states that instruction should be focused on individual needs of students. This can prove challenging for teachers who have a wide range of reading abilities in their classroom. #ILAChat#UNILITED#GlobalEdChat
A4: A potential challenge may be students who do not want to read nor care to read. To overcome this we must find a way to make them want to read, whether that is making reading fun or interesting to them in any way. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A4: A child might not have a positive reading environment at home. It is my responsibility to provide an enriching environment for reading at school and to communicate with caregivers about the importance of reading as a recurrent activity. #ILAChat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A4: As an administrator, I know that teachers often feel like their voices aren't heard...Perhaps it’s politics or a toxic work environment. Regardless, it’s our responsibility to advocate for every child’s #RightsToRead Your vibe attracts your tribe! #ILAchat#globaledchat
A4: Issues on certain subjects may be an issue for parents or possibly the school. By talking with families and school officials about the #RightsToRead is one way of overcoming this challenge #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
A4: educators will always face people who disagree with what they plan to do in a classroom. The best way to overcome this is to keep doing what is write for the kids. Compromise with those who might have certain concerns. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNIlited
A4: Parents, Parents, and more Parents. This is a usual thing as an educator but just sit down with both the student and the parent and have the student and yourself explain some common misconceptions. Then ask what the student wants to read. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
Yay, Nandita! Congrats on this incredible accomplishment!!!! Your students are so impressive! Poised, knowledgeable, and jumping right in! LOVE it! We'd love to connect all our students further! @AffinitoLit@drmollyness#ILAchat#globaledchat
A4: Some people think that reading time is superfluous. Some think that children should only be allowed to read at their "level." Some believe that certain genres are just "fluff" and not worth reading. Some say that children aren't ready for tough content. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
A4 One potential challenge for teachers is working in schools or districts where beliefs systems aren’t aligned with their own. Another is educating parents on the long-term benefits of the sanction of these fundamental rights for our children.#ILAchat#globaledchat
A4: Many students do not view free reading time as a bonus, but more as a burden. To be able to overcome this mentality teachers must introduce many genres of books. Once the child finds a book they love they will be hooked for life! #ILAChat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A5. Children have the right to read for pleasure is something that really sticks with me. Being a college student in education, you don’t really have the time to pleasure read, but you are in charge of reading so much more. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#RightsToRead#UniLitEd
A4: Time is always a factor, but the reality is that we give time to what we value. Making time for reading must be a priority. Getting a variety of texts in kids' hands must be a priority. Letting go of the canon (gasp!) needs to be part of that convo. #ilachat#globaledchat
A6. The web is a great way to encourage literacy. Social media is huge. Another great way is flipgrid or skype maybe, for those learners that can’t come to school. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#RightsToRead#UniLitEd
A4: When all of the other noise & requirements impacts reading time. Not just time to look at a text and read, but the time to engage w/ a text - discuss, digest, dissect. Socratic seminars helped me protect this time for my readers. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A4: A challenge that teachers may face when supporting and implementing the rights to read are political opinions that inhibit the freedom of a child's choice to read. Teachers must always stand up for a student's right to learn! #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A4: I think some challenges include things like funding. Coming from a school that was low income, we sometimes struggled to provide the best tools. Going into classrooms at college now, I’ve have noticed how much my home school really struggled.#ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#Unilited
A7. I will stand up and do what Is necessary and speak for the students that cant speak for themselves. I will do my best to encourage students to read, to enjoy reading. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#RightsToRead#UniLitEd
A4: staff buy-in, TIME, classroom resources, TIME, support from administrators, TIME, getting students engaged, did I mention TIME? #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
A4: The challenges are many. Many have given in to a lie that preparing Ss for high stakes testing doesn't include actual reading. You may stand alone, but stand loud and with energy. Show the results. Be ready and prepared to back up with truth. #globaledchat#ILAchat
@ILAToday#rightstoread#ILAChat#GlobaledChat A4: a huge roadblock I felt in my classroom was the mindset that my students were “just reading!” So now this is the first thing anyone sees when they come in my room!
A4: Overcoming these challenges is hard! Otherwise, the #RightsToRead wouldn't need to exist. Deliberately building home-school partnerships, being transparent abt WHY reading matters has taken me a long way in right direction w/parents, colleagues, admins. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
A4: Often times, things like silent reading time are cut out of the daily schedule because of standardization and shift in focus. Keeping the priorities and creating lessons that are multidimensional can help! #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
You build partnerships in reading by building partnerships in all aspects of education. For reading, encourage stakeholders to read the same books as kids in the classroom and create online forums for sharing and discussion. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat A3
Q3: Children’s #RightsToRead starts by declaring that all children have the basic human right to read. What does this mean, and how can educators partner with families, caregivers, and policymakers to support this basic right? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A4: It may feel challenging when kids are not wanting to read, therefore the rights are not enacted. They can overcome this by doing some research to find what the child is interested in. The teacher can find books based on the child’s interests. #ILAchat#UNILITED#GlobalEdChat
A4: #ilachat#globaledchat Obstacles we face are leaders without literacy background, the search for "hot" new initiatives that depend on literacy but don't develop it, lack of books, lack of teacher expertise, competing interests and kids preferring visual presentation of info.
A4 (ctd.): How many kids do we lose by insisting on teaching certain texts to all kids, regardless of interest, ability, or culture? #ilachat#globaledchathttps://t.co/6rFqA20KuQ
Canon fodder (n.): Front-line victims of exclusively canonical texts in English class; students viewed as expendable so we can teach texts that have "always" been taught.
See also: striving/reluctant readers, Black students, Latinx students, Native students, LGBTQ+ students...
A3: I think it starts by educating our youth about basic human rights and every child's Right to Read not only in our neighborhoods, but in the entire world. That's why teaching my kids about #GlobalGoals is one of my biggest mission this year. #globaledchat#ILAchat
Q3: Children’s #RightsToRead starts by declaring that all children have the basic human right to read. What does this mean, and how can educators partner with families, caregivers, and policymakers to support this basic right? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A4 Teachers can overcome these potential challenges by communicating their passion for this movement with others in their school, especially their administrators. Transparency with local associations can help as well to create synergy of effort/outreach #ILAchat#globaledchat
A4: Teacher's may not have books that interest all their students. Also, not giving students enough time to read during the day. Educators need to find time to fit in independent reading daily. #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
I tell me Ss (w/teacher present) - “If you were at public library w/your mom or dad & your teacher came in, if she said, “You can’t have that book! It’s too easy/hard!” What would your parent say?” It makes my point on intellectual freedom & #RightstoRead#ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
A4: challenges are actual worries that the advocacy and breadth of the #RightsToRead may evade the everyday teacher, the new overwhelmed teacher and/or the Ts retiring who aren’t always in a space to unpack “another thing” #ILAchat#globaledchat
A4 Time & money. We can't fund campus/classroom libraries. We can't give up 20 min/day for Ss to JUST read. These rights give us the vocab to use with stakeholders/decision-makers to advocate for funding & sound instructional decisions. #globaledchat#ILAchat#RightsToRead
The amazing @lookitup1514 does reading conferences with my students and she asked them how they would feel if their reading time was taken away from them. The vast majority said they would be upset for many of these reasons! #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
Yay, Nandita! Congrats on this incredible accomplishment!!!! Your students are so impressive! Poised, knowledgeable, and jumping right in! LOVE it! We'd love to connect all our students further! @AffinitoLit@drmollyness#ILAchat#globaledchat
A5: As I am not a educator just yet I do not have a classroom. But I think #1 resonates with me the most purely because students need and WANT to read what resonates with them. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A4: Challenges:: - Lack of diverse text, State and Federal Mandates skewing purpose of reading, literacy time gobbled up by other things, differing philosophies, lack of research at the MS/HS levels for those readers who struggle @web20classroom#ilachat#globaledchat
Q5: Which of the #RightsToRead resonates most with you, and what are you doing to support it in your classroom, school, or district? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A4: resources are always a potential struggle for teachers. Also how their reading is/is not encouraged at home. We can overcome them by building a classroom library more and more each year. If we instill good habits at school, those will transfer home. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A5: As a preservice teacher I want to create a huge variety of books across all genres and books that accurately reflect different cultures! I am slowly starting a library of my own to have in my classroom someday! #ILAChat#globaledchat#UNILited
A3: This makes me think of “it takes a village.” Everyone working together - educators, parents, the community, policy makers, elected officials - to promote and support is crucial for its success. Speaking out and standing up for these #RightsToRead. #ILAchat#globaledchat
Q3: Children’s #RightsToRead starts by declaring that all children have the basic human right to read. What does this mean, and how can educators partner with families, caregivers, and policymakers to support this basic right? #ILAchat#globaledchat
I agree, to also motivate students to read it is important for teachers to have a variety of books on different topics to challenge them to love reading! #UNILitEd#globaledchat#ILAChat
A4: Some potential challenges may be that some children may not want to read. They may hate reading! These can be overcome by creating some fun reading activities, or by doing read-alouds, since these can get students motivated to read. #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
Sweeter than sweet, but you know how I feel about this topic. Thank you so much for discussing it today! Children have a basic right to literacy. Period. #globaledchat
In reply to
@m_drez, @JenWilliamsEdu, @hsingmaster
A5: (5) Children have the Right to Read for pleasure.
I was so excited to see this! I think this is something that is often overlooked but is SO important. In order to develop good readers we need to let them develop a love of reading! #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A5: I am fairly new to the Rights to Read. I am a student studying to be a teacher, so right now we just discuss it in our classrooms. We talk about if we were a teacher right now what would/could we do. #ILAchat#globaledchat
I LOVE this! That statement about “just reading” is very annoying! I am often surprised by those who say that. There is no such thing - in my opinion! #ILAchat#globaledchat
@ILAToday#rightstoread#ILAChat#GlobaledChat A4: a huge roadblock I felt in my classroom was the mindset that my students were “just reading!” So now this is the first thing anyone sees when they come in my room!
Oh my goodness, yes. I was so dismayed when I saw an appraiser walk into a classroom, saw the kids reading, and said, "Oh, they're just reading. I'll come back." No! That's the most important work they could be doing right now! #globaledchat#ILAchat
A5: Children have to right to access texts in print and digital formats. I support this by building my classroom library now as I am still in school. I have 3 kids express to them that the books they have now will always be passed down to others. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A5: I really like Right #3. In my classroom, children will have the major choice to choose what they want to read. Choosing what they are interested in will help them value and enjoy reading. #ILAchat#UNIlited#Rightstoread#Globaledchat
A5. The choice to read what they are interested in is a big deal because it helps increase fluency and compression skills and they are more apt to read more if the book is interesting. #ILAchat#UNILITED#globaledchat
A5: Number 3! Don't ever take a away a child's right to choose! It give them a voice which is important for young people to understand. Offering a variety of books on a variety of subjects allow students to speak their voice. #ilachat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
That's right! And don't forget to get your librarian involved. We have access to resources that can help when books are challenged! #globaledchat#ILAchat#RightsToRead
It gets harder every year with more expectation put on classroom teachers. Independent reading needs to be seen as a non-negotiable if we truly want to see student growth. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
A5: I'm a teacher educator, so #6 resonates with me. Students deserve expert teachers who are empowered to respond to the students in front of them. I show teachers how to build their PLN & empower their learning so they can do the same for students. #ILAchat#globaledchat
Q5: Which of the #RightsToRead resonates most with you, and what are you doing to support it in your classroom, school, or district? #ILAchat#globaledchat
Biggest high fives to my #ILA partner in practice, Dr. Peters! Honored to serve with you and to be here with you here tonight!!!! We need @lairdlearning!!! #ILAchat#globaledchat
A5: Children absolutely have the right to read for pleasure. In my classroom I will make it a point to allow the students to choose whatever book they desire to read independently. #ILAChat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
A5: ‘Children have the right to read for pleasure’ resonated most with me because many children do not read for fun nor read for pleasure. When I was young I didn't either and I wish I had the passion for pleasurable reading then like I do now. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A5: I love #8 - children have the right to share with they learn through local and global collaboration. That resonates with the work we at @AsiaSocietyEDU do to encourage students to connect both locally and globally as part of PBL. #globaledchat#ILAchat
A5: #5=the best! Children deserve the GIFT of TIME to read in school! It’s not just about standards-we need to balance instruction with time for kids to #READ4Fun and be active members in our literacy communities.. My district is participating in #gra18#ILAchat#globaledchat
A#5: Number 8 resonates with me because the best part of the books I read is sharing them with those around me. I intend on allowing extra time for students to share in small groups,journaling,or however they express their reading #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
One thing our school did that was very effective in two different settings was to challenge the two local MS student councils to a book drive. Winning school with most donated has S.C. with a pizza party. We received actual TRUCK LOADS of books! #globaledchat and #ilachat
A4: Accessibility and funding. It’s very hard when there aren’t many books available as well as funds are limited. Therefore, I purchase books, work closely with the school librarian, as well as remind students of using the public library and BEG community members #ILAchat
A5: Number 3. Im my future classroom I want my library to have many options and genres for students to choose from, and to enjoy what they read everyday! #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitED
A5:The right to read for pleasure, resonates most with me. School is often about quizzes and tests and I think reading for pure enjoyment is important.Children can choose to read what interests them and hopefully develop a lifelong love of reading.#ILAChat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A5: #1 opens doors for the others to follow. I think that students need ample resources, and I plan to advocate for those—at school and home. By reminding kids that reading is a gift and putting things in perspective is super important! #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A5: I think the right that resonates most with me is creating supportive reading environments. I think the classroom is a great place to get children comfortable and excited to read outside of the classroom. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A5: #3 resonates with me the most because I find that children’s interest in reading stems from what they want to read, rather than teachers forcing specific readings down their throats that they have no interest in. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
Q5: Which of the #RightsToRead resonates most with you, and what are you doing to support it in your classroom, school, or district? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A5: I have such a hard time choosing, but if FORCED to pick just ONE...I would say 5 (the right to read for pleasure). So many people think that reading is only worthwhile if it's difficult, only teaching something if it's a struggle. Reading should be fun! #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
Q5: Which of the #RightsToRead resonates most with you, and what are you doing to support it in your classroom, school, or district? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A5: I like the 8th right. I can support this by encouraging my students to share with peers what they are reading and learning. It could be interesting to have a pen-pal from another school where the students can share what they are reading about. #ILAchat#UNILITED#GlobalEdChat
A5: Children having the right to text even in different formats! I know I’m not in a classroom now, but I have been building my library by ordering books, taking uses books, and asking teacher friends for their old ones! We can always do more! #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#Unilited
A5: #ilachat#globaledchat Hard to choose - but I'm partial to #4 - kids have the right to see themselves (or their likeness) in the books that they read & 8. Reading and Talking about reading should be SOCIAL - because learning is SOCIAL! @web20classroom
A5: #5=the best! Children deserve the GIFT of TIME to read in school! It’s not just about standards-we need to balance instruction with time for kids to #READ4Fun and be active members in our literacy communities.. My district is participating in #gra18#ILAchat#globaledchat
A4: Lack of interest from students-that whole “I hate reading!” mentality. Not having enough time in the school day to include sufficient reading opportunities. Being a reading cheerleader is a start to overcoming these challenges. #RightsToRead#ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
A5 It’s difficult for me to identify one of the rights; to me, they are interrelated and build upon another. The term “rights” speaks to me on so many levels and the impact they will have on our children’s lives will restore hope to many who have lost hope.#ILAchat#globaledchat
Q5: Which of the #RightsToRead resonates most with you, and what are you doing to support it in your classroom, school, or district? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A5: Ten! It's hard to get kids to read if there are no texts for them. I am so lucky to work in @HoustonISD, which has purchased classroom libraries for every ELA classroom and lots of digital texts on @MackinVIA. Independent reading is skyrocketing! #ilachat#globaledchat
A5: A child's right to read for pleasure is so important for sparking an interest and love for literacy! By having a choice in what they read, children can become invested in their learning while enjoying the experience. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A5: #4 really hits mel! One of my favorite pieces of feedback from Ts is that @PenPalSchools helps provide diverse perspectives through both global connections and a variety of texts. reflection of self, awareness of the world, perspectives from others #ILAchat#globaledchat
That was the focus of my research and that was key! If they like it and are interested in it then will do more of it! So let them choose - as adults that is what we do! #ILAchat#globaledchat
#RightsToRead#GlobaledChat A5- mirrors, windows, sliding doors! You are opening the whole world to your students! In a time where many are pulling down the shades, & closing shutters, we have to teach empathy, understanding and compassion to our students and books are the way
Q5: Which of the #RightsToRead resonates most with you, and what are you doing to support it in your classroom, school, or district? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A5: Children have the right to read for pleasure. Simply giving students the opportunity for independent reading is helping continue this into future and growing literate minds. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNIlited
A4 Coming up with our own money to buy comfortable furniture for independent reading. Most Ts will spend because we value reading so much. #ILAChst#GlobalEdChat
A5: The Right I liked was "Children have the right to share what they learn through reading by collaborating with others..." In my future classroom, I can allow time after independent reading time for students to share about their book. #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A5: Right #4 resonates Deeply with me and for my students. Using books as windows, mirrors and sliding glass doors as a way in and lens into culture, language, diverse worlds and themselves. Thank you Rudine Sims-Bishop. 🙏🏾 #ILAchat#globaledchat
A5: #4 really hits mel! One of my favorite pieces of feedback from Ts is that @PenPalSchools helps provide diverse perspectives through both global connections and a variety of texts. reflection of self, awareness of the world, perspectives from others #ILAchat#globaledchat
There are many online organizations and platforms that can help you make online, global collaborations for students. We created a list here: https://t.co/LNTd8he8Qx#globaledchat#ilachat
Q6: What are some resources you can use to encourage literacy and help spread the Children’s #RightsToRead with classrooms and schools around the world? #ILAchat#globaledchat
Yes! I am truly mystified at how many people (again, inside AND outside of education) don't seem to understand the many different purposes of reading. Would anyone do anything if it were hard all the time? I THINK NOT. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
A5. I'm going to go with #2 (right to access print/digital texts). Hard to foster a love of reading without easy and equitable access. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#RightsToRead
A5 Children have the right to CHOOSE what they read. Say it with me, "Children do not have levels!" Just let them read! This is something I speak with librarians, Ts, & principals about every chance I get! #globaledchat#ILAchat#RightsToRead
A6:Parents and caregivers are essential literacy partners. Social media is an important tool for spreading the word around the world about the Rights to Read.We must continue the conversation through Twitter & online chats. #ILAChat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A6: Some resources you can use to encourage literacy are literacy bags, encourage read alouds. Make YouTube videos and post them so schools that do not have the resources can still have access to good books. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A5: #globaledchat#ilachat I have to choose 4. My kids are ELLs. Many come from places where there are literally no children's books. When they recognize themselves, their culture, their world in a book, they light up!!!!!
A6: I believe twitter and other social media accounts can help spread awareness of literacy. Also teachers and even students are able to connect and share ideas with each other. #ILAChat#globaledchat#UNILited
A6: I think social media is a huge way to spread awareness and understanding about Rights to Read. It can enable us to communicate all over the world but also within our communities to encourage literacy right were you are. #ILAchat#UNIlited#Rightstoread#Globaledchat
A6: By telling others about it, by being involved, and discussions on how important it is for our future leaders. I will encourage reading whenever possible and make it fun whether we are inside or outside of the classroom. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
Q6: What are some resources you can use to encourage literacy and help spread the Children’s #RightsToRead with classrooms and schools around the world? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A6: Literacy Resources, Inc. and the International Literacy Association are great resources to spread the Children’s Rights to Read with schools around the world. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
And it’s not just children we need to remember have this right to read. Teens too! When @kim_kellermnw built a vibrant, current classroom library for HS students for free reading, the reading culture at our school really began to grow. #ILAChat#GlobalEdChat@ILAToday
In reply to
@_maggie_coyne_, @kim_kellermnw, @ILAToday
A7: I pledge to have a multitude of books in my classroom as well as letting the students decide what they want to read for free reading material. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A6: Resources that can encourage and promote literacy in the classroom are simple things like multicultural books and posters. Encouraging literacy globally could be with technology doing a pen pal project with another school across the world. #ILAChat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
A6: There are many resources available. I think you can connect globally with flip grid and Skype. This could allow you to connect with fellow classrooms and authors around the world to keep children’s right to read going! #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNIlited
A6: This! Participating in tweet chats, as well as promoting it around your school district! Talk to your coworkers, and talk to parents about the rights! People won’t know unless you talk! #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#Unilited
A6: Let's get books in the hands of kids. LOVE the diverse collections of books & materials that @CLIUpdates organizes. My favorite is the home lending libraries…what's better than encouraging kids to read for fun at home? (without those reading logs!). #ILAchat#globaledchat
A6: Incorporate ways to make reading enjoyable!! Bringing older students into classrooms and pairing them up with a younger child can encourage students to want to practice and become a fluent reader just like their reading buddy! #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A6: A great way to help spread Children's Rights to Read around the world is through social media! It's a great way to share resources and find and provide ideas to other schools and classroom, and teachers can collaborate all over the world. #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
Q6: What are some resources you can use to encourage literacy and help spread the Children’s #RightsToRead with classrooms and schools around the world? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A6. In an effort to create greater global collaborative connections I created this graphic. It share chats all over the world and when they take place.
Copy it, save it, SHARE it!! #globaledchat and #ilachat
A6: I think that as an educator, I underused my personal resources when it came to filling my classroom library. People want to give, especially around the holidays, so engage friends, family, and communities in donating books to your library! #ilachat#globaledchat
A#6: A resource we can use is social media to spread the word about Children’s Rights to Read. Social media reaches all corners of the world, so what better way to extend our reaches #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A word here abt children in emergency & conflict situations = refugee children, children & families in flight as well as children in war torn areas...where books/school are unattainable. CRTR IS ESSENTIAL for this population of children #ILAchat#globaledchat
A6: I am a preservice teacher, so I don't have a ton of resources that I am familiar with, so I am excited to see what some of the teachers have to say! One resource within schools that I love is partner reading with older/younger students. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A6. A teacher could hold literacy circles where groups of students read the same book at the same time and discus chapters throughout the book. Advocate for Book Clubs! #ILAchat#UNILITED#globaledchat
A6: One thing I would love to do is utilize Skype in some way to connect with educators and classes around the world. Our students could read books to one another which allows for connections to be made while improving literacy skills. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
Q6: What are some resources you can use to encourage literacy and help spread the Children’s #RightsToRead with classrooms and schools around the world? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A6: I would like to post these rights in my classroom and educate my students on them. That way they will feel empowered and hopefully excited to jump into a book! #ILAChat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A5: I’m all about #4 - mirrors, windows and doors. It’s crucial for our children to see their cultures and languages as well as learn about others. Multicultural programming, advocating for & celebrating diversity. ❤️❤️❤️#RightsToRead#ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
Q5: Which of the #RightsToRead resonates most with you, and what are you doing to support it in your classroom, school, or district? #ILAchat#globaledchat
#RightsToRead#GlobaledChat@ILAToday#ILAChat A5- mirrors, windows, sliding doors! You are opening the world to students! Today many are pulling down the shades, & closing shutters, open the windows-teach empathy, understanding & compassion to our students & books are the way
A6: Students could have a pen pal that is from another school, or a different country. Then they can share their thoughts about reading to a broader audience. Also, this encourages the 9th right. #ILAchat#UNILITED#GlobalEdChat
A6: Encourage read alouds in your classroom and use online tools. Be involved in your school and spread the word about the Rights. Print the Rights to Read poster to post around your school. #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A6: Some resources you can use to encourage literacy are literacy bags, encourage read alouds. Make YouTube videos and post them so schools that do not have the resources can still have access to good books. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A6: I think using online sources can help! With how much technology is used in everyday life and schools, I think you will be able to find great ways to encourage literacy! And it is the fastest way to spread the word! #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
A5: I actively seek out texts that reflect my students’ experiences based on the relationships that I have cultivated with them. They appreciate it and remember the stories that resonated most with them. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
I have to be a super dorky and excited #edhappyadmin for a minute! This week, @Scholastic featured an article about our district's ESL LitCamp summer fun with our English Learners: https://t.co/4XLCJTyEd9 We need more examples of these rights in action! #ILAchat#globaledchat
A6 (ctd): As far as spreading the literacy gospel (LOL), Twitter chats are a great place to find teachers to do cross-class, cross-country book clubs with! Get your kids reading with kids from other places and communicating digitally. Lots of skills there! #ilachat#globaledchat
#ilachat#globaledchat Thank you to all for the great convo - must log off for bit and spend time with my Grace Ann and her Little Free Library - she was reading the tweets and started to collect more books to add!
By the way! I’m Christine, a K-12 Teacher Librarian in Iowa. Love this discussion. Thanks to @KatelynJJacob I caught this chat on a favorite topic! #ilachat#GlobalEdChat
A6:Parents and caregivers are essential literacy partners. Social media is an important tool for spreading the word around the world about the Rights to Read.We must continue the conversation through Twitter & online chats. #ILAChat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A6: The internet provides so many valuable opportunities to encourage literacy across the entire world! As a teacher, your class can video call a class on the other side of the world to discuss a book. We have never been more connected! #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
Here are chats all over the world that can help you do exactly that! Connect with a teacher from one of these countries and it can begin! #globaledchat and #ilachat
A6: I've also been profoundly moved by @donalynbooks' The Book Whisperer and Reading the Wild and @teachkate's A Novel Approach. Both educators care deeply about developing children's reading lives and have excellent advice for how to support #RightsToRead. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
Checking in late after our BTSN! A5: This right really resonates:
Children have the right to read texts that mirror their experiences
& languages, provide windows into the lives of others, & open
🚪 into our diverse 🌏.
This is 🔑 for instilling a love for reading! #globaledchat
I'm joining late, but still wanted to chat #RightsToRead. The rights that are closest to my literacy beating heart are #3, #4, #8 and #9. The others are pretty great, too, but those four are at my current literacy core. #ilachat#globaledchat#d100inspires
A5 Children have the right to CHOOSE what they read. Say it with me, "Children do not have levels!" Just let them read! This is something I speak with librarians, Ts, & principals about every chance I get! #globaledchat#ILAchat#RightsToRead
A6: I also cannot overstate how much I have learned from @Jess5th and @chadceverett about the need for recognizing and acknowledging what students need in their books and getting the right books into the hands of kids at the right time. So much love. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
Libraries will often discard or sell books a few times a year. I got many of my books that way before I started buying some from Scholastic and other vendors and authors. #globaledchat
A6: Reach out to community - local orgs, colleges, businesses for partnerships. Reading lists, book awards, resources and materials from publishers, teacher/librarian collaborations, attending conferences & learning from others. #RightsToRead#ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
Q6: What are some resources you can use to encourage literacy and help spread the Children’s #RightsToRead with classrooms and schools around the world? #ILAchat#globaledchat
A7: I pledge to always advocate for the children. Their voice should be heard and sometimes that means we as adults/educators have to be their voice. I pledge to always adhere to their Rights to Read! #ILAChat#globaledchat#UNILited
A7: I pledge to promote the Rights to Read in my future classroom by allowing time for all my students to read multiple materials daily and collaborate with teachers & parents to support the child’s ability to read for both pleasure & knowledge. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A7: I pledge to never give up finding books for my future students. To never give up helping my students and families getting access to books and to also encourage others to read and keep broadening their own knowledge through reading materials. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A6: @OverDriveLibs is amazing to expand your school library and you can also provide learners access to local libraries OverDrive accounts as well. So many texts available at the swipe of a finger! #ILAchat#globaledchat
A7:I pledge to lead by example, sharing my love of reading with my students.I will model for them that reading is not only an important skill,it is fun! I’ll set aside time to read what interests them & be a mentor and supportive literacy partner. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
#globaledchat just walked in the door from a School Board meeting. I try to go and speak at least once a year. Usually for library materials. This time it was a capital campaign. Take the time.
A7. I pledge that my classroom with always provide a safe place for children to read freely and be creative. I believe in children’s Right To Read. #ILAchat#UNIlited#Rightstoread#Globaledchat
A7: I pledge to never give up on what I feel my students deserve. They deserve the best that education has to offer, and I know that we could be doing so much better. They are counting on us to make a difference. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#GlobalEdChat
A7: I pledge to ensure that all my students in my future classroom will have an environment where they feel comfortable reading whatever they would like. Also, my students will have the freedom to choose what books they read as much as possible. #ILAchat#UNILITED#GlobalEdChat
A#7: I pledge to allow each of my students to have time to freely read and express what they learned to others by creating an area of open communication that they feel safe exploring literature #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globaledchat
A7: I pledge to share the #RightsToRead with my education students and ground my coursework and coaching in them. If teachers experience the same rights as readers, then they can live the power of providing the same for their students. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A7: I pledge to encourage children to be outrageous in their curiosity and imagination. I will be a positive influencer in my students daily lives and attempt to give them the best resources to cultivate the Rights to Read ideals. #ILAChat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
A6: DEFINITELY talk to your school’s teacher librarian. If your school doesn’t have one, talk to your admin & tell them you need one! Much research demonstrates connection between presence of a TL and student achievement in reading. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A7: I pledge to always encourage students to read outside of school and set monthly goals to build comprehension and vocabulary skills, and do everything possible for them to reach those goals. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A7: I Pledge to always encourage reading in learners own way and to grow life long readers. I pledge to give my students all the resources I can and a variety of resources #ILAchat#globaledchat#unilited
A7: One thing I pledge to do to enact and Ensure Children's Rights to Read is allow free reading and sharing in my future classroom, as well as provide resources for the students to read at school and at home! #ilachat#globaledchat#UNILitEd
A7: I pledge to find ways to help our students connect with others, both locally and globally, to talk about books and issues raised by books! #ilachat#globaledchat
A7: I pledge to always give students in what they read. I will always make time to give them a independent reading. Lastly I will do read a-loud time so my students see that I also advocate reading. #ILAchat#globaledchat#UNIlited
A7: I pledge to always encourage my students to read by providing an environment that allows educational growth by using the Rights to Read. #ILAchat#UNILitEd#globalEdChat
A7: I pledge to support these rights & use them to guide decisions that I make around literacy in schools. I just added my information to the poster order so I can display these rights in my schools! The illustration is beautiful! https://t.co/hyxbeGgreT#ILAchat#globaledchat
A7: I pledge to teach these rights. I want to let my students know that this is a right they have and that no one can change that. As long they are in my classroom, I will do my best to protect these rights! #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#UNILitEd
Anyone who is near and dear to teaching knows that Thursday nights are exhausting, yet this chat had such an amazing energy tonight! ...Proof that these rights to read can be realized! #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
A7 I pledge to continue to speak up for children & families who cannot or do not know how to speak up for themselves no matter how uncomfortable it may be! #globaledchat#ILAchat#RightsToRead
A7. I pledge to do my best to encourage the love for reading by having a diverse set of literature for all levels and interests, and to schedule blocks of time for individual reading during the day. #ILAchat#UNILITED#globaledchat
A7: I pledge to keep finding books! To keep growing my library! To keep pushing my students to grow with their literacy! I pledge to keep growing myself as well as the standards for literacy change because you’re never done bettering yourself! #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat#Unilited
I tell me Ss (w/teacher present) - “If you were at public library w/your mom or dad & your teacher came in, if she said, “You can’t have that book! It’s too easy/hard!” What would your parent say?” It makes my point on intellectual freedom & #RightstoRead#ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
A7: I pledge to always do everything in my power to ensure my children and children around the world have a fair shot at their right to read. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A6: Finally, what is there to say about the wisdom and love that is modeled every day by @MisterMinor for his students, his community, and literacy combined with social justice?? I am deeply indebted to him for much of my passion about reaching every kid. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
A4. Not having funds. Some school libraries are shrinking or not fully staffed sadly. Not having support. Find books wherever and however - book drives, donations, donors choose, etc. Find one supporter to start working with. #globaledchat#ilachat
A7: As a future teacher, I pledge to always support my student's right to read. I will have a diverse library in my classroom, and dedicate time out of everyday for my students to read literature of their choice! Every child deserves the power of reading. #ILAchat#globaledchat
A7: I pledge to respectfully share the #RightsToRead with my colleagues and students' parents, and help support them in any way possible to help fulfill their needs. #ILAChat#globaledchat
A7. I pledge to stress the importance of professional learning (long after some of you leave college) so you keep abreast of the most recent information about literacy instruction. #globaledchat and #ilachat
a7: I will never give in. I will always give time and choice to read and do my best to provide the support to every reader in their journey. #globaledchat#ILAchat

A7 I pledge to continue encouraging reading and to help Ss in finding the book that sparks their passion for lifelong reading! And to always have a book in my pocket to share! #ILAchat#globaledchat
Please consider joining our #BookCampPD chat every Sunday evening at 7:30 EST. So many of you are new to Twitter and building your #PLN with others who LOVE literacy would be terrific! #globaledchat and #ilachat
A7: I pledge to fill my bookshelves with the books that students request and fill my classroom with time for them to read and talk about books. I will fill their days with BOOKSBOOKSBOOKS and never stop trying to find the perfect story for each one of them. #ILAchat#GlobaledChat
A6 I pledge to be a model and partner in reading and literacy to students and also my own children. I aim to be a learner and global collaborator in this area in order to be the best I can be for those I serve. #globaledchat#ILAchat
There just aren't words to thank all of the "soon to be educators" who joined this chat tonight!
Your amazing future awaits and I am so thankful students will have you as their teacher!
#globaledchat and #ilachat
A7. I pledge to share the #RightsToRead with teachers, librarians, caregivers, and parents - we are all allies in ensuring, enacting, and protecting these Rights. #ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
A7: In my role, making sure we have texts that are accesible to our diverse learners: auditory options, a wide range of selections/genres, and helping teachers integrate tools like @empatico to connect globally for a book club and also @Flipgrid#GridPals#ILAchat#GlobalEdChat
A5. # 4 is one of the ones I’m most focused on. I’m working hard to update the library’s collection to have a diverse collection that can represent and develop understanding in all. #globaledchat#ilachat
My first ever tweet chat is over! That hour went by quick! So happy to participate and interact with new people. Can't wait for my next one! #UNILited#ILAchat#globaledchat
You're welcome! Here is the website that corresponds with the weekly chat. https://t.co/bcIF6eE8r3 Let me know if you have any questions. I am simply here to help however I can. #globaledchat#ILAchat
