Children must first learn reading is fun. Pushing phonics on young children means nothing if they can't connect it to the joy of reading. Jim Trelease knew the importance of reading aloud. His book holds the key.

The state of #recess in #america is horrendous. There are a few states where mandatory recess for K-8 have been achieved, but even there the minimum is too low. See @NancyEBailey1 post on recess: https://bit.ly/3bFyd6k.

Pre-K with a state-certified teacher should be a right, not a privilege.
