Another great webinar hosted by @ONlit_social ! So much great info to help guide reading intervention.

Next week, I’ll begin reading intervention at the schools I support. I’ve been reading @JuliaBLindsey book Small Groups, Big Results which offers so many practical suggestions for targeting specific challenges. Have you read it yet? Let’s chat!

Today in grade 1 we completed some syntax and sentence structure activities. In grade 2 we read The Night Gardener & filled out our Gist Statement chart. ✏️📖

If you’re running intervention in your building this episode is for you! ▫️repetition, generation, & interleaving are key to retention - Matt Burns▫️@literacypodcast open.spotify.com/episode/3RQFk4…

Finishing up Acadience educator coverage at @GoderichPS this week! How awesome is this ❤️ word search !?

Looking forward to kicking off the year with a webinar from @ONlit_social !

Pre-ordered! ☑️ book study, anyone?! 🤩

Can’t wait to join this!!

Finishing off part 3 of the @reading_league book study on MTSS for Reading Improvement with @sstollar6 and Dr. Sarah Brown. There were so many great takeaways & I look forward to applying this new knowledge in the fall! 📖

Diving into @LindsayKemeny’s new book, Rock Your Literacy Block! It’s fantastic… add it to your summer book list! 📚📝

An early morning, long weekend read 📖 Reviewing Chapter 9 from @measuredmom book, “Reach All Readers”, in preparation for this week's collaboration with a new educator—exploring the connection between reading and writing in the classroom.

@RobynCarnochan @gpsjrvikings @UFLiteracy What a great idea!!

More opportunities for practice! Makes my day walking down the halls and students wanting to share the words they know and gives me an opportunity to challenge them to let me know when they learn the next @gpsjrvikings @UFLiteracy

Our new Yellow Square @SyllaSense books arrived! Many of the kiddos in my intervention group are working at the CVC level, and these books are absolutely perfect for boosting their confidence and building foundational reading skills.

This was a great session!

For far too long, we have been looking for that one "magic bullet" that will ensure literacy for all kids. But there is no magic bullet. Learning to read requires integration of ALL of the language systems (phonology, orthography, semantics, syntax, morphology) taught directly and systematically, and aligned throughout the instructional sequence. Let's stop isolating our instruction and work together to INTEGRATE our instruction.

Week one of the @ONlit_social book study with @MsBrossLearn! Lots of great ideas & new learning which can be implemented right away.

Can’t wait for this book study with @MsBrossLearn ! Have you registered yet? 📚

@gpsjrvikings @RobynCarnochan Neat idea!!

Sorting open and closed syllables so we will be able to read these small parts in bigger multisyllable words next !! #structuredliteracy

@RobynCarnochan @ONlit_social @MsBrossLearn This is so awesome! 🙌🏻

When you host a voluntary “data chat” after school and you are joined by dedicated educators that want to chat about their instructional next steps to move their students progress…and use @ONlit_social decision tree…Amazing! @MsBrossLearn
