Celebrating the top three students in each class who made the most growth on the iReady reading diagnostic! 🥇🥈🥉@CajonValleyUSD @CVUSDLiteracy
Week 17 of Heggerty in 1st grade…students making the phoneme grapheme connection. Loved seeing this 1st grader using her fingers to tap the sounds in the words! 👏🏼

Love the one on one conferences to set goals!
Circling back to Self Awareness and setting personal goals for our second iReady diagnostic. Reflections get stored in students’ data binders after individual check ins with me 💙💛 Can’t wait to see them grow next week! @MeridianCVUSD
iReady Diagnostic #2 kick off at this morning’s assembly! Our incredible school counselors helped us kick off the diagnostic by running with the Olympic torch all the way from Paris!😉

It’s OG review week in 2nd grade. I loved seeing teachers reviewing red words, zooming in on tricky words and reteaching when necessary.

Thoughts from a K teacher at @JAElementary today after the LETRS reading simulation❤️

So cool!
At Meridian we are very excited about our W.I.N. Time (What I Need) Tier 2 literacy instruction in mixed groups built with common grade level assessments- CORE, iReady (diagnostic and fluency) and spelling screeners. Ss engaged working at their targeted level! @CajonValleyUSD
K teachers are incredible! They rewire the neurological pathways in the brain! Introducing the letter d, the sound it makes and discussing mouth placement when we say /d/. 👏🏻

Front loading students with vocabulary helps with reading comprehension! Love how this teacher pulls on background knowledge, gives think time and peer discussion.

Respect dialect and be explicit in your instruction.

Let’s focus on the best strategies for our students to lift the cognitive load and make them confident and successful!

“Skilled readers are made, not born.” Teachers and families are rewiring our students’ brains to help them become readers!
