Lights!💡Camera!🎥 Action!!🎬

Teachers know WHAT to teach (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, morphology, fluency, etc)

Teachers know WHY they need to teach it (reading research says so).

But teachers also want to know HOW!

Coming soon- an incredible production of #StructuredLiteracy in action. Putting together the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of reading research in classroom practice. @ldacacta @LDAofOntario @TAaLecole @LDatSchool @ScholasticEdu @RideauPS_LDSB

When mistakes are high-stakes, teachers and learners stop taking risks. But when mistakes are welcomed and encouraged, teachers and learners discover new possibilities for learning.
