Welcome!

This is a blog designed by Hobart teachers Rhiannon Jolliff and Kristen Smith to share ideas, research, and resources about teaching literacy at the elementary (K-6) level. Here you will find information about content area reading, 21st Century Learning, vocabulary instruction, and much, much more!

What Is Right In Education... a Good Pick-Me-Up :)

   I came across this post on the Catching Readers Before They Fall blog and wanted to share it.  I think that the best thing about blogging is that through blogs you can find so many teachers who share your views and experiences, as well as seeking out advice from expert teachers all over the country.  Katie Keier and Pat Johnson are literacy experts from Fairfax, Virginia; Katie is a literacy specialist in Fairfax County, with a Reading Specialist certificate and a master's degree in Literacy Studies, and Pat is a literacy consultant with a background in Reading Recovery and elementary reading.  They have a combined total of 43 years experience in the classroom teaching reading!  The title of their blog piqued my interest and I went to seek out some advice, but ended up reading this post that just made me feel good.  Since we can all use that once in a while, here it is for you to enjoy.  Celebrate being a teacher! :)
