@kristawgreene @TessaBGarland Those are super cute ideas! That will promote literacy at home and get families involved!

@Terranc36108894 @TessaBGarland I love how you got outside sources to help promote literacy! I know that will help with student interest!

a fable in American culture. #CFCultureofLiteracy @TessaBGarland

[Summer DeLoach @DeloachSummer]

Since we have limited resources, I discussed with my boss options for promoting a culture of literacy at the school. The ideas we came up with are enhancing the library with an emphasis on diverse and culturally relevant materials, more independent reading time in the library,

and more choices. Also, at our school we have international students from China and we thought it would be a great idea to include them in group activities with reading and writing. For example, invite a Chinese student to share a fable from their culture and compare it with

@Terranc36108894 @TessaBGarland I really wish we had this at our school! It seems like a great tool and I love how the students log on everyday. I bet it is a great way to track the students progress.

@Samanth88908917 @TessaBGarland I love this assessment for first grade! I will start using this in my class. That is a great way to see their fluency and comprehension at the same time.

My school gives a pre-test called K12 advanced phonics placement assessment. It focuses on letter naming and writing, sounds, syllables, rhyming words, and blending words. It is administered at the beginning of the year to all K-1 classes. The teachers can use the data to see

@Samanth88908917 @TessaBGarland Using visuals is very important! It gets the students talking and gives them something to see. I love how you are using it to help with writing! Pictures can really help kick off a students writing process.

@fendley_laura @TessaBGarland Galileo is an incredible resource. So many things to choose from! I remember using it when I was in school! I hope to get access to it soon!

[Summer DeLoach @DeloachSummer]

This resource is on the K-5 visual literacy link & it's a pwp from that link. I am going to use the L.E.A.P. Strategy from this resource to help my students use images to produce writings. It will also help them build close observation skills. #CFDigitalResource @TessaBGarland

@bcrews12 @TessaBGarland I remember doing this when I was in school! Knowing the meaning of your word parts can really help you figure out how to say the word and know what it means!

[Summer DeLoach @DeloachSummer]

@Samanth88908917 @TessaBGarland Using visuals is a great way for the students to figure out the word. If they know a few sounds in the word but just can't put it together, they can use the picture to bring it all together. I love watching my students use their phonics skills to sound out a word & figure it out!

[Summer DeLoach @DeloachSummer]

In my classroom, we are learning the sound /ch/. While we were reading our story of the week, one of my students figured out the word "chimp". The student used picture clues from the story and their knowledge of the sound /ch/ to figure out the word. #CFPhonics @TessaBGarland

@kristawgreene @TessaBGarland Showing visuals help students connect the word to the picture! In my classroom, I always try to connect the vocabulary to their life. It's really engages the students and they love to give examples.

[Summer DeLoach @DeloachSummer]

@counselor_2013 @TessaBGarland I love this chart for vocabulary. For my students, I get them to draw a picture and use the word in a sentence! It is a great way for them to understand the word.

[Summer DeLoach @DeloachSummer]

word, explaining it, and drawing a picture! #CFVocabularyIdeas @TessaBGarland

[Summer DeLoach @DeloachSummer]

I am going to try to teach vocabulary with "real things". I will bring real things into the classroom and anchor words to them. My students love visuals when learning and I think this will really help them with vocabulary. I will also have them follow the steps of spelling the

@mlh2423 @TessaBGarland This rubric fits perfect for a Pre-K student. I love that the single-point rubric can be used for any grade level. I think using the rubric in a small group is a great idea also!
