We love skethchnotes!

Have you ever tried Doodle Notes™ with your students?

Doodle Notes™ are more than just cute notes. They’re a powerful way to help students actually engage with Social Studies content!

Instead of passively listening to lectures, students:
🖍️ interact with information visually
🧠 make meaningful connections
📚 organize ideas more effectively
💬 participate more actively in learning

Doodle Notes™ are incorporated into many of my resources, which you can explore at socialstudiessuccess.com.

The Boise State Writing Project Summer Institute will be reading When Challenge Brings Change in June. Each chapter of the book features one teacher writing about a breakthrough in their practice.

This year's fellows will post thoughts and questions in the Write Now Teacher Studio throughout the month, and you're invited to join them in this book study to reflect on your own teacher breakthroughs! https://bit.ly/4vay0vB

Join cognitive scientist Mark Seidenberg and former Reading Research Quarterly editor Amanda Goodwin on June 25 at 5:00 p.m. ET for a live deep dive into today's Science of Reading (SOR) movement.

What to expect:
✔️ Candid conversation between colleagues
✔️ Critical examination of research claims and common assumptions
✔️ Perspectives that acknowledge complexity and uncertainty

What NOT to expect:
❌️ Standard, surface-level takes on SOR
❌️ Debate disguised as a "discussion"
❌️ Slide-heavy presentation (in fact, they're skipping slides all together)

Reading development is about more than just skills. It can also be emotional. ❤️‍🩹

In an article for Reading Research Quarterly, a team of researchers found that children with stronger early reading fluency experienced lower reading anxiety later on, while reading anxiety was linked to less reading engagement over time.

The team includes researchers from Australian Catholic University (ACU), University of Jyväskylä - Jyväskylän yliopisto, Macquarie University, Universitetet i Oslo (UiO), and Universitetet i Stavanger.

The National Council of Teachers of English released a resource to provide educators with some principles and examples for how to think about AI in class.

Some principles include:
-Teach ethical and responsible use of AI
-Help students critically examine AI’s source material

In May 2026, NCTE published its working framework for English language arts educators in grades 6–12 seeking to understand the appropriate role of AI in the discipline. ELA educators are invited to download the framework below and then share their responses using the feedback form.
