Readers' growth should be visible! Readers need to keep portfolios and samples of work to show their growth. Teachers should create Reader Profiles to help SEE their readers and gather data that will inform instruction.
Readers should develop goals to keep moving them forward on their path to reading proficiency.

Here at Literacy Treasures, I LOVE to talk about reading and writing and share with teachers all that I've learned about what it takes to build strong readers and writers. I have immersed myself in the research of Lucy Calkins, Stephanie Harvey, Debbie Miller, Carl Anderson, Gay Su Pinnell, Irene Fountas and so many others. Every resource, strategy, tool, minilesson and teaching tip that is shared on Literacy Treasures is rooted in this research.
