📙I have just started to explore Morphemes for Little Ones by Deb Glaser for Kindergarten to Grade 3 and it looks like it could be a great resource.

💛Do you use it in your classroom? If so, what do you think of the resource?

When I was a classroom teacher, I stopped asking my students what they wanted to do when they got older & started asking ‘em what kind of life they wanted to live? The responses changed drastically. Quick reminder that school & schooling are drastically different

Things we model for our kids, whether we realize it or not.

[Mrs. Morrow @MrsMorrow07]

🧢CAPS is a simple strategy to help kiddos self-assess their writing, especially after sentence dictation!
It has 4 key steps:
1️⃣ Capitalize
2️⃣ Appearance
3️⃣ Punctuation
4️⃣ Spelling

🧢*This is how we used it in Grade 1.

🚘 Phonics is only one piece of the literacy puzzle.

However, it is important for students to be able to associate specific graphemes + phonemes together for reading and writing.

🚙 Example: c, k, ck & ch spell /k/

#SOR literacy learning continues as we connect Shift 1 from @TheSixShifts to our classroom practice; how are we developing content knowledge & vocab learning? Every educator @CPSpanthersTDSB has access to a digital resource package. Excited for our next session @CarolVincent100!

[Heather Ryan @HeatherRyanTDSB]

This week our #sor PD focused on phonemic awareness instruction, starting with determining student need using TDSB’s phonological inventory; phonemic awareness is a gap in learning for our striving readers #servingtheunderserved @LC3_TDSB @LizBHolder @CarolVincent100
