#Reading is not a natural behavior, it is a learned behavior. Understanding how the brain learns to read is the best way for us to help our students become better readers. #READ4384

In order to help our students excel at reading, we must plan interventions to fit the needs of each unique student. Creating #differentiation is key to student success. #Read4384

So true! 💯

[Skylar Powell @Mrs_Powell1]

Being able to recognize #patterns in reading difficulty will help you effectively plan #intervention to better guide your students in the right direction. #READ4384

Knowing how to read #informationaltext capitalizes on students' interest and curiosity, builds content knowledge prepares students for reading as adults and so much more! #read4384

Allowing our students to get excited about the things they are learning fosters an environment for #wordconsciousness, building vocabulary without explicitly teaching new words. #read4384 https://t.co/qzXtOtCrhe.

Did you know #academicwords in English are derived from Latin and Greek words. Teaching one Latin or Greek root or affix can increase students understanding up to 20 words. #Read4384 #vocabularyknowledge

#Morphemicanalysis is used to teach students how to break down the individual meanings of words. This is an important skill because it helps you to comprehend what you are reading. #READ4384

[Skylar Powell @Mrs_Powell1]

Teaching students to read #multisyllabicwords, means teaching them strategies for decoding these big words. Open and closed syllables are the building blocks to learning these strategies. #READ4384 #readingcanbefun

There's a shortage of willingness to invest the profession with respect & support. There's a shortage in making the jobs appealing.’

Our brains are not wired to read... BUT with practice we can wire our brains to connect shapes of letters to sounds, in order to associate meaning! Once we do that we can teach ourselves to read fluently.

Native english learners by the age 5 have 20,000 hours of exposure to the english language. ELL's by the age of 5 have 20,000 hours of exposure to language... majority of that in their native language. Help them, don't leave them behind. #LetThatSinkIn #read4384 #advocate

A little bit of Monday Motivation for those of us who love to press snooze on our alarms 🙋‍♀️#Guilty #MondayMotivation

[Skylar Powell @Mrs_Powell1]

In order to help our students thrive in the classroom and as adults, we must as a system, implement the different strands of the Science of Teaching Reading through structured literacy lessons. #READ4384
