What started as a required literacy task turned into real conversations about their futures.

Relevance changes everything.

Alright, #booksky, what book recommendations do we have for 9th grade readers? I’m a new teacher and building up my classroom library. It’s a struggle to get my kids to read, and many refuse to pick up denser YA novels even if I get something specific to their interests. Help?! #ELAteachers

I think we’ve earned some new Shakespeare content.

#ELATeachers, highly recommend reading “First They Came” and “Courage in Denmark” with students. Both are available on CommonLit. Both discuss being a bystander vs. standing up against negative social change.

Ok English teachers…when I pass this tree on my way to work each morning, can you guess which literary work crosses my mind? #elateachers #aplit

Hi, #edusky! I'm looking for a new book series for my #middleschool son. 📚 We've devoured all the #percyjackson and #harrypotter series. I'm looking for a series that adults enjoy reading just as much as the kids! #literacy #elateachers

I know I’ve found some of my fellow current and retired English teachers—anyone else out there? #ELAteachers

The School for Invisible Boys is a wonderful middle grade Lovecraftian horror novel.

Any other teachers out there with middle grade horror suggestions?

The Author's Note at the end of On a Wing and a Tear should have #edusky #elateachers and #kidlit writers wanting to follow this amazing author.

What a great explanation of the power of representation in literature!

Welcome!
