We’re wearing #RedForEd today in solidarity with @ETFOcb, @ETFOeducators, @scetf_local. It’s time @Sflecce @fordnation to show proper support for our students by negotiating a deal that prioritizes education. @tlamondin @MrsMorrow07

🍩 Did you know that you can have student use Elkonin boxes to help with writing multisyllabic words! Elkonin boxes are an effective tool for students to use to help develop phonemic awareness (segmenting words) + encoding & decoding skills. #literacy @UFLiteracy #edutwitter

@j_oneill222 @SCDSBLiteracy @gardnersclass We hope you and your students enjoy this wonderful book. 💕

Thank you for the VERY kind and beautiful gift @SCDSBLiteracy @MsPRodriguez @gardnersclass what a lovely surprise.

SCDSB educators... Check out this case study on how to utilize data and decide where to start with UFLI Foundations! Look at a class profile, what we learned, and how the educator used the data to respond to identified student needs. @SCDSBProgram bit.ly/WtWCaseStudy1

Our team and the Early Years team are partnering to provide a UFLI info session on Wednesday, April 12th and a Progress Monitoring Info Session on Wednesday April 19th. Sign up here: bit.ly/UFLIsessions @SCDSBProgram @SCDSBey

Thank you to each of you for your passion and dedication for literacy. We’re so lucky to have amazing literacy leaders like you in SCDSB!

Kids who tell their story before they write their story are more successful at writing their story. Remember “reading and writing float on a sea of talk” (Britton) @AdrienneGear @scetf_local

Your students won’t become better writers by just writing. They need explicit, targeted instruction, lots of tips and encouragement! They need YOU!!! @AdrienneGear @scetf_local

Two main writing goals. One, to make sure my writing is INTERESTING for my reader. Second, to make sure my writing is CLEAR for my reader. @AdrienneGear @scetf_local

“Writing is a gift. When we write, we ‘gift’ our readers with our words, our ideas, our stories, our feelings, our knowledge. So make sure it’s a good one.” How are we going to ensure our gift, our writing is great? @AdrienneGear @scetf_local

Where do writers get their ideas from? Think of Brain Pockets…memory, fact, and imagination pockets. @AdrienneGear @scetf_local

“A writer is someone with a story to tell.” All children should and can see themselves as writers. Starting with pictures, swirly printing, and letter printing. @AdrienneGear

Reframe and Refocus…”Rather than focusing on where your students SHOULD be, let’s focus on where they COULD be! How might I make that impact? @AdrienneGear #scdsbliteracy

🚘 Phonics is only one piece of the literacy puzzle. However, it is important for students to be able to associate specific graphemes + phonemes together for reading and writing. 🚙 Example: c, k, ck & ch spell /k/ #literacy #edutwitter #canva

Prepping for our next @ckschools knowledge-building unit: Taking Care of the Earth. The FREE read-aloud anthologies & digital images are fantastic. We have also used Plants, The Five Senses & Farms in our K class. Would love to see 🇨🇦 history units developed too! 🤞

What a great opportunity to hear SCDSB colleagues share their personal experiences shifting literacy practices to align with the Right to Read recommendations. We hope you’ll join us! #scdsbliteracy

Everything you wish you had been taught about morphology in a super helpful and easy to understand 11 page document. Thank you @SyllaSense!

Is sharing this information harder than just saying a level? Yes! Does it help you and parents understand and support a reader in terms of what they know and are able to do and what they need to work on SOOO much better? YES!! #structuredliteracy
