This November, I’m thankful for the teachers who work tirelessly day after day with our kids. Teachers are very special people. I’m thankful for principals and school specialists who recognize that good teaching is sometimes loud and messy, and it’s rarely easy. I’m thankful for parents who do their part in raising curious and prepared students. And I’m thankful to those who find their way to my blog in their search for information about struggling readers.

Happy Thanksgiving!
