I just listened to @ehanford ‘s “What the Words say ” where she also discusses the sad trajectory of illiterate students & correlation between literacy and our criminal justice system. Let’s help change the trajectory for our Ss and teach them to read! #MatthewEffect

Consistent presentation of new material and review of previously learned concepts are critical for all learners.
This can help students become aware of expectations and learn the strategies necessary to become independent, successful learners!

Here are some tips when working with phonemes:
-Speak very clearly
-Have students look at you when dictating words or sounds
-Have students repeat what was said
If this is tricky because of masks, try recording a video of yourself at home without a mask to watch in class.

“Nowhere in education is the gap between the intuitive and the evidence-informed approach greater than in the discussion, practice and implementation of teaching children how to be literate.”
First sentence and I’m hooked.
