Keep climbing, ALABAMA. We are not where we want to be, but we are on the right track. Keep climbing! @AMSTI4all @OMIALSDE @ALSDEOSL @ALSDEOSI

Not every book/text that says is decodable is so...

What makes a book decodable is that the child has been explicitly taught the code/words he will need to use to successfully read the text.

[ARI / The Alabama Reading Initiative, ALSDE @Alabama_Reading]

Cohort 7 is open for registration 5/1/23, through 9/1/23, for Alabama educators. Kickoff sessions will begin August 2023.

Specific commitments for this professional learning are outlined in the registration form.
