My city was dubbed America's most violent in 2 of my 7 teenage years. My father's skull was crushed by guys wielding a metal pipe. I was stabbed. Cousins killed. Thank God I had teachers who taught me how to read, instead of trying to understand my trauma and build relationship.

Just had a student tell me how to "expand your business" so I can help all the kids on my waiting list! #literacy https://t.co/RxIrBQcR3I

So many students have come online for their lessons on snow days. I'm so impressed with them and their work!

[Mary Morgan @hochster12 on Threads @mnm12]

Structured literacy isn't just phonics.
Decodable books can be used for comprehension instruction.
Kids want to learn and improve, even on snow days! https://t.co/woJ3WQj3PD

@sstollar6 @liv2learn Okay. Would love to chat sometime

[Mary Morgan @hochster12 on Threads @mnm12]

@sstollar6 @liv2learn I tried to use MTSS as the framework for delivering the science of reading. There are so many people at the school level still unprepared to embrace the science. Even when they see results.

@NMedina5 @FrayserTigers Hi, Nicole! Got in 2022. Still going strong!

This little guy is perfect for taking care of sand that gets on our table during #multisensory #literacy instruction! #MLL @FrayserTigers

I get to trust them &myself to do the important work of learning. I get to build relationships, not only with kids,but with their families. It's really a dream fulfilled. And I'm so grateful that I made it here to a place where purpose is aligned with action. #literacyspecialist

Today I wrote myself a check for my own work based on my own educational choices and my commitment to kids and their literacy. I am so fortunate to own a women-owned business with the best partner. I get to see kids grow into the best version of who they have always been.

[Mary Morgan @hochster12 on Threads @mnm12]

Our district that is.

I wish our had taken advantage of talking to the Libens about the phonics component of the EL currículum when we had a chance! I'm looking forward to listening to this one focused on comprehension. #clout #literacy

The most expensive thing in education isn't buying HQIM —it's watching teachers quit because they're exhausted from MacGyvering mediocre resources into miracles. Every DIY curriculum is quietly burning out our best talent.

I created this padlet that is full of 63 free adolescent literacy resources from PaTTAN. I offered it freely, no barriers, as I do ALL of my padlets and wakelets weeks ago. You can access it in full here: https://t.co/gmPzqMgMBz
