Actually it was a text. But it sure made me happy! It was from someone in the LA workshop from a few weeks ago:
…Ben, I am reading A Natural Approach to Stories [ed. note: this is the new name we have chosen for the new book about the Invisibles] for the third time and I never cease to be amazed at your amazing ability to convey your incredible ability to convey your understanding of kids and language acquisition. I just received the Encouraging Teacher of the Week for the first time it was given this year. The same thing happened last year. I give 99% of the credit to you for these results because of what you convey in both writing and in person. My students and I are truly blessed by your inspiration…
I love reports like this on what the Invisibles are doing for real teachers in real classrooms in real schools who have actually gone to the trouble of studying and learning and applying this new concept in their classrooms, so keep them coming!
