We are three friends, LSU alumni, and reading specialists who are passionate about teaching educators about explicit phonics instruction.

Early intervention is essential, but if we have our tier 1 instruction based on the research we would have less kids needing intervention.

@AHarrisonSCDSB @RaiseReaders @lifelonglit @StaggPeters Nonsense words are an assessment and research tool, not the content of instruction.

The PhQs are getting excited to attend LDOEs Teacher Leader Summit 2022! We love the focus on K-2 literacy. #teachingreadingisrocketscience

Ortographic mapping is different than word mapping/phoneme-grapheme mapping.

The PhQs love Dr. Tim Shanahan. Do yourself a favor and read his latest blog post.
Our Phonics Roadmap enhances phonics instruction by providing explicit instruction, practice and application of phonics skills! #phonicsqueens #scienceofreading

Phonics instruction, yes, but how much phonics?

Are you reading any professional education books this summer? The PhQs are reading "Know Better, Do Better" by David and Meredith Liben. #scienceofreading

[phonicsqueens @phonicsqueens]

This is a great distance learning resource that can be used with the Phonics Roadmap to build words.

It has been a year since the PhQs presented at the ILA Conference. A lot has changed in a year, but not the PhQs commitment to literacy!

Discovery and explicit (direct) instruction are part of Stops 1 and 2 on the Phonics Roadmap! #phonicsroadmap #phq

[Susan Vincent @ssvincent]

A3. Direct instruction must be part of every classroom. When teaching a new skill, Ts should first teach explicitly, then scaffold and provide time for independent practice.

Some new learning WILL happen through discovery, but T's plan explicit instruction carefully. #g2great
