Assistant Professor of Literacy Education at @Appstate where I teach teachers how to teach children to read.

It’s been a rough start to the school year in NYC so I’m reposting this. It’s in the application where the learning sticks. I’m seeing lots of 40-min lessons where sts read and write less than 5 words. That doesn’t work. Implementing a flawed program w/ fidelity ensures failure.

We wore our costumes and festive outfits to field experience at @HardinPark_WCS today! It was a spooky day of literacy learning! 🎃 @AppstateRCOE

[Ashley Pennell @AshleyEPennell]

In addition to learning about the Science of Reading, these elementary education and special education are learning about the flexibility that is needed day in and day out in the life of a teacher. Here they are during the fire drill at @HardinPark_WCS @AppstateRCOE

Esp important! Too many think phonics needs to include all possible graph-phon connections and all possible rules! Thanks @Sucho83

@mrbbettis @WataugaSchools @AppstateRCOE @appstate @letterland @covecreekschool This partnership is off to a great start! I look forward to seeing how it continues to develop and grow in support of our @AppstateRCOE preservice teachers and @WataugaSchools K-3 students and teachers at @HardinPark_WCS and @covecreekschool.

I love the partnerships between @WataugaSchools & @AppstateRCOE. This morning, @appstate students delivered @letterland intervention lessons with @covecreekschool students, they followed up with a class session to reflect on and learn from their experiences. #WeAreWatauga

Preservice teachers in my LIT 3340 Science of Literacy class practiced reading aloud high-quality children’s literature. Their lessons focused on building background knowledge, exploring novel vocabulary, and supporting language comprehension. @AppstateRCOE
