Took a deep dive into this resource today! An informative read and reference for #phonics, #spelling, and #wordstudy in the classroom. @RSHWDSB @FountasPinnell

Our website is live! reading.commons.hwdsb.on.ca. Your one stop shop for all things early literacy @HWDSB. A huge thanks to the team who supported this initiative led by @adeletweets

It's Teacher Tip Tuesday! Here are some guidelines for choosing books for interactive read-aloud. hubs.ly/H0cHqbk0 #FPLitearcy

A big thanks to @LoveReading12 who shared her story of that one child. What a profoundly moving narrative of how a multi-disciplinary came together to support a child who may have otherwise slipped between the cracks. So many important takeaways! @SStephanian @bill_torrens

Last PD SESSION of the 2017-2018 school year. What a journey it’s been. Time to do- reflect and celebrate. As @SStephanian said beautifully, think of that one child who we may have impacted. Now multiply that by 20, 30 or 40 or more.

@krinr @RSHWDSB @morrisromano @HWDSB_HR @clarkeyjm @Think_Collab Congrats on a job well done - as always - you will make a fantastic Adaptive Schools trainer @krinr !!

Ready to rock! @teach_mcc and I are filming our presentation to the @RSHWDSB group this morning as the last phase on our journey to become Adaptive Schools agency trainers! @morrisromano @HWDSB_HR @clarkeyjm @Think_Collab

Can you find our mystery elves and guess their secret words? This one sounds like d/ee/r. How many sounds do you hear? What letters would you use to spell that word? #blending #segmenting #growingourreaders #holidayfun

A child’s success in first grade will be a strong predictor of literacy success throughout schooling. Early intervention gives children the boost they need to begin first grade at the same reading level as their peers. #FPLiteracy hubs.ly/H09pb1y0

@MiglioreClass Ahhh the holiday store! Lol. Hope it was great :)

@RSHWDSB @HWDSB I have recently moved to Toronto. Let's make it happen! I have very fond memories of working wth Hamilton in the past! I would love to work with you.

Our amazing team never ceases to amaze us! They had students generate labels for our treat table. How adorable! #inventivespelling #phonologicalawareness @stewmacneil @HWDSB

How to get kindergarten kids writing (even if they're at the scribbling stage!) I love these 10 ideas. They work well in a play based environment too! #earlyreadingtip #readingandwriting themeasuredmom.com/preschool-and-…
