Multiple meanings can be found in simple older words. The older the word is, the more meanings it is likely to have.
Check out this list of meanings for the word “check”

Orthographic mapping is a mental process used to store and remember words. It is not a skill, teaching technique, or activity you can do with students but a process that is enabled when phonemic awareness and phonics skills are taught.

Want the Skinny on Evidenced-Based Literacy Practices, but don't have time for a full LETRS Course? Consider our Science of Reading Series that kicks off on October 12. Come to one, some, or all - hope to see you there. https://t.co/Qu1WAQYSsH

Strong, structured phonics instruction will include the concept of phonemic awareness to help students recognize and manipulate the sounds that make up words. 😃 #AlwaysLearning

Tier 1 curriculum needs to be frequently revised with data & differentiated for all students. Examples of differentiated instruction for secondary:
- Learning centers
- Accommodations
- Flexible grouping
- Ongoing assessments

Each area of the brain works together, building connections, to read text. Reading is not an isolated activity that occurs in one area of the brain. It is a whole-brain activity.

Literacy is essential for learning in all areas. Teachers should be using a systematic and explicit approach that focuses on the five essential components to teaching reading: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. 💚💙

Says the great @LouisaMoats

We learn to read speech to print. Science shows this is how our brains work. The explicit and systematic teaching of reading should reflect this.

Everything in literacy comes back to the theoretical models.
We are continuing to build literacy knowledge by going back to the foundations. #letrs #scienceofreading #education @LIU12_TaC @ZatkosC
