THE HEART OF FICTION

BY: KATE ROBERTS

Reading fiction is at the heart of our classrooms.

It’s what we love. It’s what we want our students to love—whether whole class novels, book club texts, or independent choices. But to love fiction, kids need to be able to and hopefully want to read without our constant guidance and instruction. How can we coach students towards more proficient, independent practice when they read?

The Heart of Fiction is about more than skill building. It’s also about the conditions we can set up in our teaching to make this work stick, and for our students to truly grow into themselves as readers. It’s about the lifeblood of our classrooms.

We're thrilled to introduce a limited series of recorded conversations: 3 Questions with Kate Roberts! Join us as Kate sits down with educators to discuss literacy and teaching in schools. In each episode, guests select 3 questions from a curated list, leading to insightful and inspiring discussions. Listen in on these deep dives into the heart of education

Leveraging 20+ years working in schools across the country, we have a unique understanding and perspective on the inner workings and support structures schools have in place to help evaluate and support young learners. Over the years, we have worked to strengthen the understanding and teaching of students with learning differences by providing professional development in schools, districts, and organizations.

Now, we are thrilled to expand our offerings to support teachers, parents, and caregivers as they navigate the unique ways their students’ brilliant and beautiful brains work - supporting young learners with diverse learning differences spanning ADHD, Autism, Dysgraphia, Executive Function challenges, and much more.

  • "I just wanted to reach out and thank you for all your work with us over the last 2 days - we all very much appreciate your insights and suggestions. Mostly, we are so thankful to have a true ally who understands how hard this job is (and who believes we should still be doing it!)"

  • "Thank you for supporting my growth and development around book clubs and classroom talk in a digital environment. This recent three-day literacy institute was highly engaging and so relevant to the current conditions of teaching and learning. I am so grateful for this rich and meaningful professional learning experience; I know that my team and I are taking away effective strategies and ideas that our department can use whether or not we return to schools in person this fall."

    Kate Lund, Supervisor of Secondary English/Language Arts & Library Media (6-12): Feedback on July 2020 Digital Professional Learning Sessions

  • "I very much enjoyed Maggie’s ability to teach new methods immediately. Her pedagogical approach lends itself to teaching across the board. She came up with quick solutions to approach this monster of a year. Her joie de vivre gave this workshop that little something extra! I wish (our school) could invest in her coaching us for the year. It would be such a boost for moral. THANK YOU!"
