@sophieandlili Hi! I’m a 5th and 6th grade dyslexia teacher. I appreciate any help given to my classroom! Everything on my lists student directly benefit from. https://t.co/xob2LQOZfd
It’s okay to cry at home about the kid who you try to reach every single day & it’s still not working. It’s okay to be internally upset at the kid who said the fun assignment you spent time making is stupid. It’s okay to have hurt feelings from your kids. It’s okay to be human.
When we say levels are a tool we mean they will help teachers in particular contexts understand what level of support is needed for a child to gain from the reading experience. #FPLiteracy
Texts that are leveled accurately are a wonderful tool for teachers to gear the small-group instruction so that the text is within the children’s learning zone so they can expand their literacy processing system and apply it to other reading experiences.
Classroom Libraries: NOT organized by level but topic author genre series illustrator, award winning, favorite etc. In primary grades we MAY organize some books by RANGE of levels but classroom library is a landscape for children to choose books

Text levels are not a number, score, or label. They represent 10 text characteristics with hundreds of observable reading behaviors that the child needs to be able to control. It is not a simple notion. Teachers who understand this can use this complexity in a very powerful way.
