⭐️ May the Force/Fourth be with us all today! This is for you Mike! Are you celebrating in your class today? If so, how? #starwarsday #maythefourthbewithyou . . .

@goyenfoundation Just found out about this! Excited for the next opportunity ✨

Yesterday, we shared that we're opening up applications for our 2nd cohort of literacy fellows. (Apply below!!). Today, I wanted to reflect back on our FIRST (and ongoing) cohort of fellows. Buckle up. This is going to be a long thread. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Regrouped my targeted small groups for end of the year skill review and fluency practice. See the whole video on how and what my plans are here: instagram.com/reel/Cry-Qy0gD… #ortongillingham #structuredliteracy #literacy4all #iteachfirst

Many people with dyslexia also have anxiety. #dyslexia

So many exciting things!!

A shift to evidence-based #literacy instruction at this WI school district is paying dividends, both for students and educators! #LiteracyAndJusticeForIL jsonline.com/story/news/edu…

Friends in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, check out this wonderful opportunity to see how the dyslexic in your life sees written language. Simulation by @ER_Illinois tickettailor.com/events/everyon…

Planning a 1:1 OG lesson focused on c vs k. Resources from @IMSEOG @TheLiteracyNest Mandy Hank. Music by @CarlaSiravo and IMSE #ortongillingham #structuredliteracy

@KatyLiteracy @katyisd @TCRWP @FountasPinnell Whoo hoo!!

🥁 Exciting day in @katyisd. All @TCRWP & @FountasPinnell are being REMOVED from our classrooms.

Studies show that kids with higher literacy levels are more likely to graduate from high school and college than those who do not have these skills.

I just talked about this w teachers today. Illinois is one of the few states that doesn’t require schools to screen early literacy skills (this will help support ALL students). There are free screeners. Some districts already pay for programs that you can use to screen.

So excited for this!

Another OG Structured Literacy training course starts today! Can’t wait to meet our new SLANT students! @BethHatlen @KarlaOBrien77 #Teachers #reading #literacy

Everybody here loves a good #podcast, right? If you missed it last week, a great @WBEZreset discussion gives a rundown on the status of #LiteracyAndJusticeForIL and a broader discussion of IL #literacy policy. WELL worth your time. Give it a listen today! wbez.org/stories/illino…

#IllinoisParents — this conference is for YOU! This is virtual so that you can attend regardless of where you are located at in the state! Please share with your networks. tickettailor.com/events/everyon… #SouthernIL #CentralIL #Carbondale #Chambana

@ksirach Thank you! This is very helpful!

@GetLiteracy4All If you obtain your CALT certification you will also be able to sit for the Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist exam with CERI. Let me know if you have any questions. We need more CALTs in Illinois!

CALT vs CERI certification? Why one over the other?

I was OG trained by a fellow through the OGA. Seeing so many OG programs now, what did you take and what was your experience with it?
