So proud of our staff, students and community! Their unwavering dedication to using data and aligning evidence based strategies to teach our students how to read is what every student deserves!
Love having @followmcclain in our district! My 5th grade team brought back a piece of her wisdom to our students today! Thanks for sharing things that are so relevant and easy to implement!
A repost from one year ago, but one worth reposting. :) Vocabulary knowledge is 1 of the largest contributors to reading comprehension. According to Stahl & Nagy(2006), vocabulary knowledge contributes 50-60% of the variance in reading comprehension. A consistent vocabulary instructional routine is a powerful tool every teacher needs in their tool box!

Did you know... "Teaching manuscript handwriting led to improved word reading, even though only handwriting was taught, in a randomized, controlled study of low-achieving handwriters in first grade"(Berninger et al., 1997).

So excited to watch the news coverage filming of Huron County’s Teacher Business Boot Camps on location in Ms. Kelly’s class at New London High School.

YOU will be remembered. I promise. The new year is getting closer. PLEASE remember that the most important thing to get ready in your classroom is YOU. Cat posters don’t make kids hang in there…YOU do. #LeadFromWhereYouAre
As the last few days of school wind down, I take down the decorations, anchor charts...and reflect on whether I needed these up on my classroom wall. Here’s an article to consider when we decorate our rooms again in the new school year. https://t.co/KfvQjvUHwu
Kids need explicit feedback about both what they ARE doing well & what they are NOT doing well.
The longer we delay/withhold the corrective feedback the more time we allow for these poor reading habits & patterns to become established in the brain making it harder for kids to abandon them.
