The best thing about being a teacher is that it matters. The hardest thing about being a teacher is that it matters everyday.

[Jaikaran @drakmog]

Yes. And the part that gets undersold is what mapping buys you later. Once a word is mapped, the brain stops spending effort decoding it and that effort goes to meaning instead. The phonemic awareness work is not separate from comprehension. It is what frees up the attention comprehension needs. Foundational and fun at once.

[Jaikaran @drakmog]

@TimRasinski1 Word Ladders work because they hide the rigor inside a game. Kids think they're solving a puzzle, but they're really learning that words are built from movable parts. The best phonics never feels like phonics. And you can do the whole thing with a pencil and paper.

@literacypodcast Guided manipulation of letters and sounds leads to orthographic mapping!

[Tim Rasinski @TimRasinski1]

Wonderful! Word Ladders for the Win ! They’re fun too!

[Melissa & Lori Love Literacy Podcast @literacypodcast]

Want to see phonemic awareness instruction in action? Take a look at Virginia Quinn Mooney's 1st graders! Students manipulate one phoneme at a time. Great for phonemic awareness, decoding, and encoding. https://t.co/uwrPlHWd2f

@TimRasinski1 Morphology and fluency are the two most underrated levers in a reading classroom. Kids who see how words are actually built stop guessing and start decoding with intention. And reading aloud with expression is where comprehension shows up. Resources that teach both are gold.

[Jaikaran @drakmog]

@TimRasinski1 @BenisonMrs Exactly. Speed is a byproduct of comprehension, not the goal. A kid who races through a page and retains nothing learned to perform reading, not to read. Meaning and prosody first. The pace takes care of itself once the words actually mean something.

[Tim Rasinski @TimRasinski1]

@BenisonMrs Great. Just don’t over emphasize reading fast. Focus on reading with meaning.

[Tim Rasinski @TimRasinski1]

Yep!

A No-Stress Fluency Routine for Summer
No timers. No pressure.

Read 1: just get it out
Read 2: make it sound like someone is listening
Read 3: read like you’re telling the story, not decoding it

Same text. Different purpose each time.
