Phonological awareness can be practiced ‘in the dark’ - without the use of text - as we learn to isolate, segment, and manipulate the sounds within words.

@thismomloves I just finished Reading Part 1, Early Years, through my school board. I will definitely look into what Trent offers!

[National Geographic Animals @NatGeoAnimals]

After up to 45 days in their father’s brood pouch, jellybean-sized baby seahorses emerge and drift together in small groups, tails entwined, already on their own to find food and hide from predators.

#AmericasNationalParks is now streaming on @DisneyPlus and @hulu.

@hubermanlab @X Keltner’s ideas are very therapeutic, I think I recommended he be on Huberman Lab. Also, I’m sure that mountain is called Resting/Sleeping Giant.

@MmisterNobody your child shouldn't cry, this usually means the parent needs to adjust something, such as duration of lesson or level of work.

@KatieShapiro1 @BirdCentralPark @fox5ny the mid-to-late-february cardinal sighting, usually the first sign spring is close.

[Socratic Experience @socraticexp]

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the educational job is already done. That's our honest assessment, based on many of us working in education for over three decades. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes, it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology.

Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

5 TIPS TO TEACH YOUR CHILD TO READ:
1. Use a program based on the Science of Reading (like UFLI).
2. Aim for 5-10 min/day. Consistency > Duration.
3. Build phonological awareness (listening to sounds).
4. Learn letter sounds, then blend words.
5. Start with decodable texts.
