95% of the Year 2 kindergarten students at our school are at or above benchmark on Acadience Middle of Year screening.

If that isn’t an endorsement for explicit and systematic phonics instruction (we use @UFLiteracy) I don’t know what is.

A sore knee won’t let me ski, but the edufallicies I’m learning about in ch 5 of Harnessing The Science of Learning are 🔥. @ONlit_social @MsBrossLearn

In Kindergarten, the environment is NOT the 3rd educator. An environment can not teach ‘biologically secondary knowledge.’

One of the best podcast episodes about comprehension that I've heard - the hosts describe common pitfalls in comprehension instruction and what to do instead. Need to listen again! @thismomloves #readingroadtrip https://t.co/Vd8QZZGuFn

In tonight's Next STEPS book study focused on chapter 3 (phoneme awareness), participants analysed a student's writing sample to better understand their phonemic awareness, and generate plans for instruction.

As @liv2learn says - spelling is visible language!
