Compassion and rigour need not be mutually exclusive in academia. We need the heart, the spirit, and embodied knowledge in the humanities.

@larissaphillip I used the book Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. It’s 15 minutes per day and works like a charm.

@mtosc98 WTG! 🏆

@rastokke I used a direct instruction based book to teach my kids to read after the ‘whole word recognition’ approach and ‘looking to the pictures’ strategies did not work for my child in grade one. The book, Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, was effective and phonics based.

@MrDanielBuck I used this book with my 4.5 yo and he is now ahead of grade level a few years later. This book is a great resource.

@JustinTrudeau Thank you for your service.

[Shannon Vickers @playswithspeech]

@MrZachG I used the exact same one when my youngest was 4.5. Direct Instruction and phonological awareness for the win!

In Manitoba if you leave a book at a little rental place in a provincial park you might find it 15 years later as you go in to say hi to your old buddy Jim and notice it’s yours based on the bookmark! #quaint

@MetroComicCon @CHeyerdahl Sounds fun!

[Shannon Vickers @playswithspeech]

@SharonSalzberg I’m loving this book, the second I’ve read in your collection (I started with Faith). Your writing is beautiful and peaceful, and I really love the paper you have chosen for your books - reminds me of the books I cherished as a teen and loved ones, too.
