@Mercer_Moments @tenilleshade@decaturisdlib @CDavisRead YESS! Independent๐is essential for every Ss no matter the age. & for struggling readers-sitting down w/ them & reading aloud is just as impactful. Some Ss don't have these opportunities. Carving outโ๏ธis crucial! They deserve it.๐

If your teacher says read the book BEFORE you see the movie ๐ฅ , you do! This group of 6th Graders led an intense book ๐ club over the last week giving up their mornings & recesses all to enjoy a different, yet fantastic movie ๐ฟ #Buck#Thornton#JackLondon@DISD_DIS#DISjourney
1. In the quest to banish Skippy Frog and his/her? other 3 cueing friends here is another prompting resource that keeps the eyes on the print & matching graphemes & phonemes all the way through the word.
Avoid any program that includes drawing shapes around words, making alphabetic word walls, teaching the โcueing systemsโ approach of appealing to context to guess at unknown words, or that does not follow a clear scope and sequence

More research on the relationship between reading & handwriting.
"Reading and writing share the same network in terms of brain development, and this research actually adds more information by saying that handwriting by paper and pen has major advantages."

@sayitslp I have ADHD & dyslexia & struggled so much in school. I literally had to cheat my way through. Was held back in 2nd: horrible. Sport were my safe haven. Wasnโt diagnose/treated until adulthood. Went through Dyslexia training & am now a Dyslexia Therapist. I relate well to my Ss.
