I am so excited to get back at it with my own small groups this week. It’s one of my favorite parts of being a Literacy Coach, especially with all the great practices we have in place now thanks to LETRS (the why) and Core 95 (the how). #EveryChildReads

I love watching the finger-stretching & syllable mapping as they write and try to correctly spell bigger words! 95 Core! @MPEReadWithMe

Tap it, map it, graph it, zap it! @GwenGm1212 has made these Kinders into spellers using this orthographic mapping method in small groups! #EveryChildReads #TheAmazingPerkyPace
