On Thursday, February 16, Heinemann
hosted a Twitter Chat in which they interviewed authors Irene C. Fountas and
Gay Su Pinnell about their newest system, Fountas & Pinnell Classroom™
(FPC). People from all over the country followed along in order to learn
more about this exciting, first-of-its-kind, cohesive system for high-quality
classroom-based literacy instruction. Educators were highly engaged making
#FPLiteracy the #1 trending hashtag for the entire hour-long chat, and well
into the night. Followers learned about everything from the instructional
contexts that make up FPC to what is at the heart of the system. They learned
about the many components and high-quality texts that are included while gaining
insight into the philosophy that went into its creation.
