Reading is not a checklist. 🚩 Too often, we treat comprehension strategies (main idea, inference, etc.) as isolated tasks. Students fill the boxes, but the meaning doesn't "stick." When reading becomes a routine, it becomes compliance. 🧵 (1/3)

Give students something to pursue not just complete👇🏾 open.substack.com/pub/kharyfle... #EduSky #Literacy #ReadingInstruction #EdChat #TeacherCommunity
