@sarah_handscomb I can’t believe you posted this just four days ago. It seems surreal that you are no longer with us. You will truly be missed.

@Jacinda19771 @sarah_handscomb Sarah, you oozed positivity and loved all of the children you worked with. You will be missed. I will treasure the short time I got to spend with you on this earth. Thoughts and prayers to your family.

It is with great sadness that I share that our beautiful @sarah_handscomb has passed away suddenly late last week.
Her Mother Jenny would like to share this news with the Science of Reading Community and to celebrate Sarah's impact on so many educators and her students. ❤️

@SkyeStaude @MacKillopFS @SWLiteracy Thanks Skye. Yes, it was a brilliant four days. The MacKillop Education teams are amazing. Talk about changing lives through eduction!
English

This week the secondary/ES staff at MacKillop Education (a @MacKillopFS school), finished their @SWLiteracy training with @riseliteracy. So many “aha” moments and lots of excitement to begin! Can’t wait to see this in practice across our school. #gamechanger #socialequity

@lifeoflottie Thanks Charlotte. I look forward to continuing to work with you and your team. Enjoy your well-earned break.

Last day of Term 3 and the last day of Sounds~Write training with the awesome James @riseliteracy

English

@lifeoflottie Brilliant! Yes, it is always good to see the look of relief on a students face when I respond with “…I haven’t taught you this yet, but …”
English

Two pertinent points that came out of James’ @riseliteracy Sounds-Write Day 2 training.
1. There is a huge difference between knowing sounds and knowing what to do with sounds.
2. The power of ‘I haven’t taught you that yet’.
James’ knowledge of differentiation is outstanding too

@SkyeStaude @lifeoflottie @SWLiteracy Can’t wait to work with the MacKillop Education Secondary teams, Skye. Bring on Thursday 😀
English

@lifeoflottie @SWLiteracy We were lucky enough to be awarded a grant to train our entire team of primary/secondary teachers and ES staff with @riseliteracy. Our secondary team start their training this Thursday! That could be an avenue for you @lifeoflottie ??
English


@lifeoflottie Thanks Charlotte 🙏 I had a great day too. I look forward to visiting your school sometime soon.
English

Gotta give the knowledgeable James Lyra from @riseliteracy a shout out for an excellent 1st day presenting Sounds-Write. Amye and myself had many great discussions in the car on the way home- it is definitely adaptable for our specialist school setting. Great differentiation too
English

@Knight2Susan @lifelonglit @PamelaSnow2 @tserry2504 @FIVEfromFIVE Absolutely. Especially because the children can hear themselves improve which feeds into their self-efficacy, which in turn leads to them being more willing to take bigger risks in their learning. Amazing work Sue and the CLPS team.
English

@riseliteracy @lifelonglit @PamelaSnow2 @tserry2504 @FIVEfromFIVE I know there’s so much more to skilled reading than WPM but there’s something magical about those words slowly being mapped and stored in LTM and gradually becoming more automatically recalled, esp for our most vulnerable. They are so proud.
English

A teacher trained in SW @riseliteracy , Language Arts @lifelonglit , TWR, SOLAR intro course @PamelaSnow2 @tserry2504 (intermediate is in the planning!) and lots of professional reading @FIVEfromFIVE = most at-risk Yr 2 students slowly but surely becoming fluent readers 🤩

English

@Knight2Susan @lifelonglit @PamelaSnow2 @tserry2504 @FIVEfromFIVE Ahh, makes perfect sense. That data is AWESOME! Congratulations 🎉
English

@riseliteracy @lifelonglit @PamelaSnow2 @tserry2504 @FIVEfromFIVE It’s just words per minute James - nothing fancy. Kids who have the code but slower decoders and we are working on fluency and tracking it. Exploring @FIVEfromFIVE resources for ⬆️ fluency. I hate posting because I know I’ll get questions from experts 😉 haha!!!
English

@Knight2Susan @sarah_handscomb @SkyeStaude @SWLiteracy Yes. Indeed Sue. These teachers are amazing and have such dedication to their students. 👍

@riseliteracy @sarah_handscomb @SkyeStaude @SWLiteracy Just googled MacKillop - so exciting all staff are training in SW. It will change the lives of many of Victoria’s vulnerable young people.
English

James Lyra @riseliteracy doing a ‘great’ job, training all three MacKillop Education campuses in the high quality Sounds Write programme. @SkyeStaude @SWLiteracy.

@SWLiteracy @riseliteracy @SkyeStaude Thank you John! The course is second to none! Provides teachers with the keys they need to unlock the alphabetic code with students in a way they and students can access.

@Knight2Susan @sarah_handscomb @SkyeStaude @SWLiteracy Thanks for your kind words Sue 😄. Yes, we are in Melbourne. I’m presenting at MacKillop Education’s central office in South Melbourne.
