Reading with Ms. Meenu.

Why do reading and learning matter?

·         I want children to understand that readers read to get smarter and to learn about themselves, other people, and the world that reading is something they can do independently that empowers them to control their lives and make the world a better place.

·         I want children to know that smart is something you get and that through hard work, effort, and determination they can accomplish their goals.

·         I want children to know that readers read, write, think, and learn with purpose and enthusiasm and see themselves as problem-posing, problem-solving citizens of the world who have what it takes to figure things out.

·         I want children to engage in conversations and discussions about big ideas with open hearts and minds to be willing to share their own thinking and to appreciate, learn from, and respect the ideas and opinions of others.

·         I want children to understand that learning is for always – it’s ongoing,  lifelong, and vital.

Dear reader,
I have been a research scientist, a journalist, and an educator for over 3 decades. I read and, I write.  With this weekly newsletter, I share what I read, learn, and, experience. At the same time, I engage with students, parents, and teams of teachers across K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and ed-tech organizations.
