[Kareem J. Weaver @KJWinEducation]

Consistency does not mean robotic teaching. It means students do not have to win the teacher lottery. A schoolwide literacy commitment should be visible from classroom to classroom. The goal is not sameness for adults; the goal is reliability for students

Another great webinar hosted by @ONlit_social ! So much great info to help guide reading intervention.

[Alex Bell @AlexBell_26]

Next week, I’ll begin reading intervention at the schools I support. I’ve been reading @JuliaBLindsey book Small Groups, Big Results which offers so many practical suggestions for targeting specific challenges.
Have you read it yet? Let’s chat!

Today in grade 1 we completed some syntax and sentence structure activities.

In grade 2 we read The Night Gardener & filled out our Gist Statement chart. ✏️📖

Finishing off part 3 of the @reading_league book study on MTSS for Reading Improvement with @sstollar6 and Dr. Sarah Brown.
There were so many great takeaways & I look forward to applying this new knowledge in the fall! 📖

Diving into @LindsayKemeny’s new book, Rock Your Literacy Block!
It’s fantastic… add it to your summer book list! 📚📝

[Alex Bell @AlexBell_26]

An early morning, long weekend read 📖 Reviewing Chapter 9 from @measuredmom book, “Reach All Readers”, in preparation for this week's collaboration with a new educator—exploring the connection between reading and writing in the classroom.

@RobynCarnochan @gpsjrvikings @UFLiteracy What a great idea!!

[Alex Bell @AlexBell_26]

Our new Yellow Square @SyllaSense books arrived! Many of the kiddos in my intervention group are working at the CVC level, and these books are absolutely perfect for boosting their confidence and building foundational reading skills.

This was a great session!

[Pam Kastner @liv2learn]

For far too long, we have been looking for that one "magic bullet" that will ensure literacy for all kids. But there is no magic bullet. Learning to read requires integration of ALL of the language systems (phonology, orthography, semantics, syntax, morphology) taught directly and systematically, and aligned throughout the instructional sequence. Let's stop isolating our instruction and work together to INTEGRATE our instruction.

[Alex Bell @AlexBell_26]

Week one of the @ONlit_social book study with @MsBrossLearn! Lots of great ideas & new learning which can be implemented right away.
