New teacher training Day 3. Today is phonics and spelling. We are learning and growing our reading instruction knowledge together.

Quick read and great information on early writing.

Students don’t need a flux capacitor to strengthen their learning; they just need time. This month, we’re tapping into the power of retrieval and spaced practice, two powerful tools for turning short-term learning into long-term understanding. @BASDLiteracy4Me @BASD_Reads

An important Friday reminder…..

Kindergarteners in April, of course they are writing sentences about beetles. Fabulous independent writing time! ⁦@CalypsoES⁩ ⁦@BASDLiteracy4Me⁩ ⁦@Leesonscience⁩

Today is #NationalSchwaDay! 🎉 Founded by Yvette Manns, it celebrates the most common vowel sound in English—the schwa /ə/! Her book "The Not-So-Lazy Schwa" brings the sound to life, helping to make phonology & morphology accessible to young learners. 📙: bit.ly/43GUUQQ

Tell me why… students struggle with deeper thinking? This month, we’re rephrasing questions to make “why” the key to unlocking critical thinking. With the right strategies, students won’t just answer—they’ll analyze, connect, and want it that way! @BASD_Reads @BASDLiteracy4Me

When your boss says she’s getting the info directly from the source. Believe it. The fabulous Anita Archer.

You might not see your impact, teachers – but it's definitely there.

I’m so grateful to @ehanford for shining a light on what works! Also thrilled to know it’s what we’ve known for 30 years, back when we implemented Reading First - evidence-based instruction targeted at current skill levels with relentless pursuit of outcomes by the end of grade 1

🕵️‍♂️ This month, we’re investigating Unsolved Literacy Mysteries! 🕵️‍♀️With the right strategies, students will connect the dots and solve the mystery of deeper comprehension. @BASDLiteracy4Me @BASD_Reads
