Lights!💡Camera!🎥 Action!!🎬
Teachers know WHAT to teach (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, morphology, fluency, etc)
Teachers know WHY they need to teach it (reading research says so).
But teachers also want to know HOW!
Coming soon- an incredible production of #StructuredLiteracy in action. Putting together the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of reading research in classroom practice. @ldacacta @LDAofOntario @TAaLecole @LDatSchool @ScholasticEdu @RideauPS_LDSB

When mistakes are high-stakes, teachers and learners stop taking risks. But when mistakes are welcomed and encouraged, teachers and learners discover new possibilities for learning.

@NLESDCA @HolyCrossElem Today is day 1 of Make a Meme Monday. Each Monday I'll post a Meme outside my office for students and staff to write their own. Great way to engage kids and improve their writing. Here's today's Meme. Feel free to post yours here! Have a great week.
Day 1 of our Starbooks cafe was a hit. So much literacy, discovery and discussion around our newest library books. More to come. Thanks to @TownofCBS @StarbucksCanada @Scholastic @RunningtheGoat @BreakwaterBooks for being learner partners.
Welcome to our Starbooks Cafe @UGEABC All week long we will be showcasing over 200 new titles that will be added to our library. Learners can walk about, sip on a cool beverage and be excited about all the new adventures in literacy headed their way 💚📗#
Something amazing is happening all next week @UGEABC Thanks to @Scholastic @StarbucksCanada @RunningtheGoat @BreakwaterBooks and our community for supporting us. We will be hosting our first ever “Starbooks Cafe”. Stay tuned
