I used to be like, "Well, you didn't do your writing, so I guess you can't do the lesson or practice your conclusion with us."
Now I'm like, "Here's a sample essay without a conclusion. I still want you to be able to work on the skill and be a part of the class."
Growing.

If you’re a teacher… don’t assume your students know you care about them. You gotta show ‘em… every day. If you’re an administrator... don’t assume your teachers know you support them. You gotta show ‘em… every day.

A vision is only effective if it is shared. So it’s not about the leader; it’s about the team. It’s about the values that are held in common. It’s about the relationships that are built. And it’s about the shared aspirations among everyone in the organization.

PSA: Not all phonics and decodable readers are created equal. Some are impoverished and harmful. Just because it says it is SoR aligned doesn’t mean it is or it’s any good. Teachers-please have stringent auditing processes in place before downloading free stuff off the internet.

“The way kids are taught to read in schools is disconnected from the most current research”. I know better, I teach better. #scienceofreading @markseidenberg @reading_league @IDA_Ontario @LimestoneDSB @ehanford

Thank you to our RRT Ms. Washington @LRenWash for bringing staff, PD consultant @kbumreading, guest author @VickieAultmon & families together for an exceptional @CCPSTitleI Literacy Night. We learned all about The Adventures of Little Zaria & received ideas to boost literacy.

Auditory drill using sandboxes for my tactile learners today! I say the sound/phoneme, they draw the corresponding grapheme. Sounds easy? It’s NOT! Especially for #fsl students with #dyslexia. #encoding @IMSEOG @FFImmersion @RideauPS_LDSB @LimestoneDSB

Thank you to our RRT Ms. Washington @LRenWash for collaborating with our Presenter Kathy B @kbumreading to provide powerful professional development for staff to support virtual instruction. Our Jan jump start is officially launched. What a great PD day! #wflyhigh #literacylaunch

Now this blessed scholar has been taught the structure of the English language. Every child deserves this information, as well as every educator. #literacy #dyslexia #neuhausknowsreading
#tcrwp, compare the teaching in your video with this demo by my dyslexic son. See, because he was taught how to read words, he doesn't have to guess. Giving him an assortment of strategies would never have turned him into a reader. #structuredliteracy did.

Sneak peek of the cover of the Sept/Oct issue of The Reading League Journal that is in press! 🤩 It's a special issue dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the National Reading Panel Report (Linnea Ehri gave us the idea to make the cover apple green to match the NRP’s)! 🍏
