We're thrilled to announce our partnership with @RNIBBookshare, making our decodable readers available in accessible formats for students with print disabilities!
A selection of our books is now on RNIB, and we'll be adding even more in the future https://t.co/xecIzZh5Ft

@MermelsteinLeah @SWLiteracy I was just trained last spring and have been using it for about 3 weeks. I can't say enough how great the training was and the program. I have already observed significant improvement from Ss this year both in decoding and spelling and I'm only 3 weeks in. I'm over the moon.

@aliceleung There are are great non fiction decodable readers now too! I'd start with the @LoveLiteracyAU sets for a 6yo 😊 Pretty sure they're available on an App?

[John Walker, Sounds-Write @SWLiteracy]

Exciting news! The Initial Code Reading Together Collection will be available to buy from the 13th of September! 📚🚀
Each book includes 16 pages of engaging text and illustrations, plus two pages of fun activities to enhance reading fluency and oral language development.

Looking for Sounds-Write training in Brisbane??

I'm looking forward to heading back to West End State School to present Sounds-Write training over 4 consecutive Wednesdays in October. Details and bookings here: https://t.co/dg9SGnTcuM

I'm excited to be offering another BRISBANE F2F Sounds-Write workshop in Sept/Oct in Kenmore! The last course at West End State School sold out in two weeks so don't delay registering for this one!

@TheAaveMaria @mrjergenskinder @SWLiteracy does! (and has been doing so for 20 years!)

@FaithBorkowsky @buckingham_j @SWLiteracy @ReadSimplified @EBLI_Nora @spelfabet It's just a source of unnecessary potential confusion that we can (and do, with @SWLiteracy!) avoid in early instruction.

[Alison Perry @AlisonPerrySP]

@FaithBorkowsky @buckingham_j @SWLiteracy @ReadSimplified @EBLI_Nora I'm surprised that listing how some letter names give clues to their sounds is listed as a reason. As usual, @spelfabet describes this well.

I've seen so many students for intervention who spell words like 'men' as 'mn' ("mmm en") because of confusion between sounds and names.

[Sean Morrisey @smorrisey]

I was just trained in @SWLiteracy. I'm very excited to begin next school year. Just went through my academic vocabulary list to correlate with sound spelling patterns. Here is one for /ee/. I think this is another way to embed academic vocabulary throughout the school day.

[Leah Mermelstein Consulting (LMC) @MermelsteinLeah]

@SWLiteracy @smorrisey The training was outstanding! I love how @SWLiteracy blends knowledge with concrete lessons. Then, it allows teachers agency in making decisions about which lessons when based upon student strength and needs.

@EmmaCastelow @SWLiteracy @PamelaSnow2 @tserry2504 @EminaMcLean @NathanielRSwain @buckingham_j @jettybe3 @learnwithmrlee @Suchmo83 @GregClement15 @JessicaColleu You're welcome! It was a slapped together video last night so feel free to adapt however you feel! Or let me know what else it needs (or doesn't need) and I'll have another go! Keen for feedback from the front line 😊

@EmmaCastelow @SWLiteracy @PamelaSnow2 @tserry2504 @EminaMcLean @NathanielRSwain @buckingham_j @jettybe3 @learnwithmrlee @Suchmo83 @GregClement15 @JessicaColleu I'm sure this could be far more polished, but here's my thoughts! https://t.co/hQicNUpMdk

@StJamesNur @SWLiteracy @StJamesChorley Off to a flying start! 👏
