@BuildEnchanted My kids purchased an early access pass but have not been able to get into anything - still says pass needed but it has already been purchased … how do they access things within this server now that they have the pass? Is there a code they need to enter??

I was just wondering about this - a great way to do one on one or small group reading practice. Older struggling students seem to prefer reading on the computer rather than a book that may look like a primary “reader” - also great for at home practice if parents are asking!

Somewhere between the middle/end of Kindergarten many children can be identified as at risk for reading failure.

However, the Ed system is not designed or equipped to do so and instead it is more aligned with the “wait and see” approach.

The problem is that when it comes to reading struggles the “gift of time” is a myth and that the longer we wait to provide kids with the supports and intervention, they need and deserve the harder it will be for them to close the reading gap between them and their grade level peers.

That is why kids’ best hope to prevent/overcome reading struggles is an informed teacher or an informed parent who is able to advocate for their kids in school and is able to support their child’s reading development outside of the school system if necessary.

Kids should not have to win the zip code lottery, or teacher lottery to receive the type of reading instruction they need and deserve.

This project has been a labour of love - we're thrilled to share this open-source embedded picture mnemonic resource!

Printable cards, plus animated graphics that model letter formation for printing instruction.

Coming this August - a four-day workshop with Dr. Margie Gillis focusing on all things syntax!

Participants will explore evidence-based syntax instruction and will apply their knowledge by developing a lesson plan.

See you soon!

As a dyslexic person and T it was so wonderful to hear #ldinstitute presenters yesterday on strategic literacy in the class and using AI to support struggling readers and writers … and now listening to structured literacy for J/I grades. So applicable! @SCDSBLiteracy

Individuals with dyslexia are responsible for some of the greatest innovations in history, but most of them were never recognized as being gifted while in school. It's important to remind kids with dyslexia that their grades do not dictate their potential in life! #Dyslexia #ADHD

⁦@ncpscreemore⁩ grade 4/5 students had the perfect warm windy day to witnesses the well adapted broad wings of #ScarletTheRedTailedHawk. They can see a 🐁 from a km away as it soars up above. What a wonderful #Outdoorable experience provided by ⁦@WyeMarsh⁩ & @scdsb
