Learning how to decode is crucial. Teaching how to decode should be the priority of all Foundation classrooms. https://t.co/pNyr9vd3Jx

Just love my mornings in preprimary @NatalieJCam

Partner reading today in Foundation. Almost the end of term 2, and most of the class can read this story fluently. This is what explicit instruction can do—it is empowering! https://t.co/e5lQ4b68OV

Love this response from @PamelaSnow2 An active, engaging classroom has little to do with the true meaning of play. Play is so misunderstood. Learning to read can be a playful practice, but play is a reward in itself and has nothing to do with explicit instruction.

@theVogelman Happening in Perth, Australia too. So conflicted as chess is a great game, but I have to keep asking are we doing anything else?

We can screen Ss early on to see If they are struggling, and if they are, we can provide them with evidence-based tier 1 instruction and intervention. Early identification and intervention are crucial for students who are struggling early on and or may be at risk for dyslexia.

@tombennett71 Agree in a parenting context. Not so helpful for schools.

[Clare Wood @thelithill]

@RayBoyd007 Exactly. That requires a leader to understand and identify point of need and priority. Not many in the system can do this. You are a shining light of hope.

[Clare Wood @thelithill]

Sounds like an effective plan of attack @RayBoyd007

@KJWinEducation Think it should be a little blue book!

[Clare Wood @thelithill]

@DTWillingham I can't think of an idiom that's not strange. Love the discussions with students, though. My teeth have no skin and I don't want to break a leg!

Winning the blending battles with lots of repetition.
