I love summer tutoring, especially how much I get to know each of my students since it’s primarily one-on-one. Here is my back-to-school treat for my littles! ✏️📚📖

[Lauren Burns @SPEReading]

So excited to read this new book written by a @bvschools educator! Dr. Jenson helped lead our Covid task force during the 2020-2021 school year. @AfterTheMask

Spending the day learning about our new phonics resource. @SPEReading

I don’t think I was supposed to see this until Monday but sometimes work calls on the weekend. 🤪

This was truly the sweetest surprise and definitely put a big smile on my face! Thank you to our amazing families for the darling door decoration. 💗 @SPEPatriots

Teaching syllable division patterns (ways to cut words apart) and syllable types (guides to pronunciation) gives readers have a map to discover how to read longer phonetic words. As strategies are applied more skillfully and automatically, the landscape of reading is widened.📖📚

@OHEWelde Thank you for sharing this, Shelisa! 😘

[Institute for Multi-Sensory Education @IMSEOG]

Syllable Division strategies can unlock the world of reading for older students who struggle to decode words. Older students may have a strong oral vocabulary and once they can decode the word they are then able to put that word into the context of their reading.

[Institute for Multi-Sensory Education @IMSEOG]

How do students move from slowly decoding, word by word to being able to read words quickly and easily? You can thank orthographic mapping for that.
