I’ve decided to deploy this fairly new Substack tool as an experiment to see if you, the readers of ltRRtl, might enjoy talking with one another about topics you raise related to literacy teaching and learning. We have almost 150 subscribers. I know for certain I’m not the only one among you with something to say about literacy education in this fascinating epoch. If just a small fraction of you jump in with a question or a comment, if an even smaller fraction chimes in and responds, I believe this chat space or whatever Substack prefers to call it could become a valued space to question, worry, laugh, vent, or share feelings and opinions.
To join, you’ll need to download the Substack app, now available for both iOS and Android. Chats are sent via the app, not email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Substack Chat is now available on both iOS and Android.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! If you feel like starting a conversation on a literacy-related topic with other people who I’m sure would love to hear from you, you have a reserved table with lots of chairs, 150+ and growing, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ. If you’re happy with things as they are, that’s fine, too. No worries. We have this space free of charge, protected from the eyes of non-subscribers. Might as well take advantage of it, eh?
