I’m. Obsessed.
This text should be in every teacher’s hand. Quick, direct, explicit…so good.
Thank you @MrZachG 🤗

Why hasn’t KNOWLEDGE BUILDING CURRICULUM received as much traction or publicity as phonics?
Read on to find out some great arguments Natalie Wexler makes in her new book!

I will continue to shout this from the rooftops: it all comes down to providing our Ss w/ knowledge!
It is VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE to teach critical thinking skills w/o KNOWLEDGE
This book is gold. Thank you @natwexler for sharing your expertise 💗

1/3 "The educational establishment has always been an ideological institution...what schools like is when teachers teach in a manner that matches with how they believe teachers should be teaching, not in a manner that matches the evidence about what effective teaching is" -Kimberly Berens in my latest episode
Using our #morphemes to help us accurately spell words. English is morphing-phonemic, so as teachers we must BOTH instruct at the phoneme level AND morpheme level.

@smorrisey @MrsAWiater @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @ClassroomWonder Ppl just don’t understand at a deep level the need for EVERY T to address language development for all Ss… it’s currency… & Ss KNOW I want 10 dollar words not 2 buck words… 🤟🏼❤️

Steps 1-3 of our vocab. routine for the word AGGRESSIVE with our new suffix:

@smorrisey @kellygrillo @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @ClassroomWonder Thank you! And I wholeheartedly agree. It’s such an integral piece.
English
@MrsAWiater @kellygrillo @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @ClassroomWonder I continue to enjoy watching you in action teaching vocabulary. The ONLY way we will ever get even remotely close to 95 percent of Ss reading on grade level is to have a focus on vocabulary and oral language.

@MrsAWiater @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @ClassroomWonder Love this process… I wish EVERY teacher had a vocabulary routine!!!

Do you teach upper grades? Check out this website on morphology instruction! @sblackwellslpd sites.google.com/view/literacyt…

Edit: just a reminder that teaching can be messy and isn’t perfect! I feel like I have a decent handle on incorporating morphology but still forget what morphemes I’ve taught and the cards I have 🤪
Don’t expect perfection out of the gate. Your kids will still benefit!

That moment when your students ASK you to teach them a new morpheme 🤗
Changing my teaching to reflect the science of reading was the single BEST decision I have ever made as an educator 💗

Ever wonder why FEBRUARY is spelled with that silent r? Let my 2nd graders tell you!
Connecting MEANING to the spellings of words has been a huge game changer for my class 🧠 #etymology #morphology

When your students ask, “Mrs. Wiater, let’s quick research the etymology of this word!” 🤗
