Here’s a useful tip to help students improve their writing. ✍️ Ask them to read their work aloud. While it may not feel as natural—or modest—as reading silently, it can help them catch often-overlooked errors, a 2022 study found.

Bar chart titled Read Aloud to Improve Writing. "When students were asked to proofread texts aloud, they found up to 12 percentage points more typos, grammatical mistakes, and errors in word choice, a 2022 study found." The bar chart shows the difference between accuracy during silent and aloud reading: silent, 59%, and aloud, 71%.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

#NCTE25 in Denver showed a growing body of work around climate justice in English classrooms, K-20. There were also many bitter sweet 😢moments remembering the work and spirit of Dr. Sheridan Blau. His one-of-kind personality touched many, and his work lingers large
