Hey Educators! Here is my new YouTube Channel with videos teaching the alphabetic principle based on Speech to Print! If your Ss are struggling to break the code or you are frustrated teaching articulation in a mask, it's for you! youtube.com/channel/UCPvSO…

Our job is to teach the students we have. Not the ones we would like to have. Not the ones we used to have. Those we have right now. All of them. #education #teachers

I often get asked to support schools with the implementation of decodable texts. Here’s a protocol that I would use with a printed decodable passage when students are learning a new sound-spelling correspondence. Simple steps, big impact! Enjoy!

Oh my goodness! Two literacy giants in 1 podcast!!! I can’t wait to listen! voyagersopris.com/podcasts/2025/…

DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS?! 🎉 My THIRD book is coming this summer! This one's a deep dive into my literacy block – think scheduling, routines, transitions, and ALL the mighty moves! @ScholasticEdu Pre-order yours here: amazon.com/Literacy-Block…

I can’t wait for this book, MTSS for Reading Improvement: A Leader’s Toolkit for School Wide Success, by Sarah Brown and Stephanie Stollar! @sstollar6

We are holding an info session for MSJ’s fully online doctoral program on Wednesday at 7 EST. Generous scholarships for all students, full ride for some. 3yr program starts in May. tinyurl.com/nsze3vuy

Are you skimming when you used to really read? Do you worry even more about your kids and their capacity for deep reading? @MaryanneWolf_ and I will discuss all that and more on Wednesday night (9/18) at @PlanetWordDC. Would love to see you there! planetwordmuseum.org/events/eyes-on…

@MrsPallone @SoRclassroom Thank you!

Today we used “alone” & “lonely” to help Ss understand how to spell “one.” Thanks to ⁦@nikkibteaching⁩ for the help. She has AMAZING instructional videos. Her full length video is here: youtu.be/LmJbwagK_TI?fe… ⁦@SoRclassroom⁩

“More practice isn’t as effective as providing the RIGHT practice.” Sage words of wisdom from Jamey Peavler.

This is a Revolution. When we fight each other kids are the casualty. Revolutions take time. BE THE LIGHT! Feeling revitalized. Thanks ⁦@weedentracy⁩ for your powerful words. What an inspiration. #BigSkyLiteracySummit

LETRS Facilitator Training Day 3 went something like this. Constructing a sound wall, physical Phonics, and digging a little deeper into research. ARI Regional staff soaked it all in. Gearing up for empowering Alabama teachers. #EveryChild.EveryChance.EveryDay #ARI

It was a privilege to work with Ts in @DeKalbCoSchools!

Loved presenting on Literacy, Justice, & Equity for all with @heather_gross today! We have to challenge deficit thinking and underperformance in all of our sub groups. #TeachInDavis
