@DFISHERSDSU I’ve read that words that aren’t fully regular,are about 75% decodable so instead of memorizing the whole word, Ss can decode most and then memorize the irregular part.Most of the 100 HFW become fully decodable as students learn more P-G correspondences and morphology rules
@jmattmiller I’ve had it write fictional passages on science/social studies topics with specific syllable types and grammar ie dependent clauses to reinforce concepts learned. Also paired passages with written response ?s. It’s a great tool.
@DFISHERSDSU - In one of your keynotes at the PLCSummit, I remember you giving a statistic on how much teaching we do on what students already know in regards to the importance of pre-assessments. Now I can't find my notes and can't remember the percentage.😩 Can you help?
@unfoldthesoul I’ve been waiting for the release of this book for months! Mine is arriving on Monday. I. Cannot. Wait! ❤️ me some hard truths from Mr. Williams.
Be sure to take care of those who help take care of your students. We buy coffee shop gift cards for all our bus drivers every year to start their first day off right! Thanks for the idea Mr. Eaker! @SolutionTree
@ericweinstein Your point of C student excelling on std tests is important. You also said to fix the educators. As an educator of 20 years, I agree stnd tests are not the issue. As a profession, we should reform grading practices. The malpractice happening daily in this area needs addressed.
