I’m so excited to be at the (virtual) Phonics and Phonemic Awareness Institute 3-6!

Miscues are a window into a student’s phonics knowledge…not an indication of a “bad speller” @natalielouis13 #TCRWP #RSDreading #RSDwriting

Read aloud is the perfect time to model the work of proficient readers. Invite students into the work with these simple tips for engagement. How do you invite Ss into your read aloud? 📚 #literacyTipTuesday #RSDreading #RSDLearns

@whitney_larocca shared Patterns of Power: Inviting the Conventions of Language at today’s meeting! Thanks for joining us!

[Stacey Taylor @LitROCK_taylor]

Whether it’s a whole class conversation, book club, or partnership, engagement during collaborative conversations is key! Keep Ss participating w/silent signals, the conversation going (& growing) with accountable talk, and throw out a safety net when needed #LiteracyTipTuesday

Part of embracing approximations is celebrating what IS being done and nudging Ss to grow in their thinking. Creating microprogressions can encourage this work and can be used as a tool by both Ts and Ss #LiteracyTipTuesday #RSDreading #RSDwriting
