TEACHING IDEA: Are you teaching decoding & it is not sticking? Frontload w/PHONEMIC SEGMENTATION. This builds *capacity* to decode(Kilpatrick, 2013; Muter et al., 1997; Nation & Hulme, 1997; Yeh & Connell, 2008) More to come Tue--Words to use @HeinemannPub@HeinemannPD #phonics
Is this real life?! Cannot wait to attend @fetc in January, soak it all in, and share with the best division in the world! #pinchme#redmillrocks@RedMillES @RMESPrincipal
Getting into my summer reading. Iโm minutes in A Fresh Look at Phonics and Iโm loving what I see. Proper phonics instruction is so critical when building the foundation for readers. @bengillikin1@SCESGators@Shimko_Daye canโt wait to see what everyone else thinks :)
โThe rights of a readerโ #1 is hard for me to agree with, but I feel like itโs a timing thing (ie not to read right now...) not to never read at all. I โค๏ธ this!
"READING SHOULD BE A CHOICE, not a chore! To see themselves as readers, children must be in charge & have ownership about their reading." Great piece on #literacy by @JDLiteracyTrust - recommends this brilliant poster:

Though itโs been official awhile, but since itโs July 1...Iโm so excited to announce that I will be joining the wonderful staff @SCESGators as the new Literacy Specialist. A piece of my heart will always be with @HeningHornets! #letsdothis@bengillikin1@Shimko_Daye
Sometimes forming relationships with new kids as an interventionist is challenging....THAT moment when a student who REFUSES to come to groups day after day, rips up the nice notes you leave for them FINALLY slides over AND PARTICIPATES! @KaganOnline@SpencerKagan @RhondaSBurch1
