Why the “reading wars” mindset fails our students and what we can do about it

Emily’s Writing

Check out Emily’s latest posts to the Authentic Education blog.

“Am I doing this right??” Is a nervous refrain I’ve heard from […]
One of the most powerful tools educators have is asking ourselves “How do I know?” We must interrogate evidence we come across even in our own classrooms.
The power of knowing my students as readers and leveraging this knowledge to help guide and shape their journey as readers and spellers has been transformative.
