Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!" Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource. When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

A6: I agree! I imagine classrooms where every learner’s language, identity, and creative expression are valued as part of meaning-making. Our task is to enact that future now through scholarship, pedagogy, and community that foreground connection over compliance. #literacies

A3: #literacies has connected me with educators who remind me that literacy is collective work. These dialogues have shaped my teaching, mentorship, and collaborations across classrooms and communities.

#mamascholars in the house! I was on the phone until 1 minute before being a mom for a upset 21yo child/junior in college. #literacies chat and passed the phone to hubs to console the tears.

A1. Fall of 2011, I tweeted something about new literacies and @anna-phd.bsky.social responded. And a friendship and the #literacies chat was born! We ran the chat for years before we ever met in person!

Emily Pendergrass @esp-phd.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

My apologies. It is a #literacies shindig. And I am so excited to see all these old friends.
