🥹I honestly get teary-eyed just thinking about that time the parent said that to me. They were just joining our school, and the parent said she felt okay about it because she knew they might get to work with me.

🧑‍🏫I've always loved kids and loved teaching them, but it wasn't until I had my daughter that I realized just how hard it is to entrust your child with someone.

❤️So when someone says they trust me with their child, I don't take that lightly. To be trusted to keep a child safe, to love them and help them become better readers, that is the best compliment I know.

❤️Let's break out the warm fuzzies today yall! In the comments, tell me the best compliment a parent has ever given you!

📅Thursday, July 25 will focus on grades K-2. Topics include small groups, dyslexics and struggling readers, shifting to evidence-based reading, reading research, and sound walls.

📅Friday, July 26 will focus on grades 3-5. Topics include intervention, teaching writing, background knowledge, note-taking skills, and spelling.

🗓️Both days will be live from 10:30AM-3:30 PM EST. All sessions will be recorded and available via a private website until August 31, 2024.

👓Over the past year, I've begun to see things a lot clearer. In intervention, we simply cannot overestimate the importance of cumulative review.

📗With cumulative review, we are able to give children the amount of practice they need to orthographically map the patterns we have taught.

💻Review PowerPoints are by far the easiest way I know to continuously review skills with students. Last week, I recorded some cumulative review with a 3rd grade I'm working with (permission granted for recording). Now, I'm giving you a peek as to what it looks like.

💻In my latest YouTube, I share:
📌why we need cumulative review,
📌a video of cumulative review in action with a student
📌step-by-step process for making your own review Powerpoints.

📖Slide 2 scared me a little bit.

📕Virginia DOE is coming out with new standards this year, and on page 6 of the document, it states that the Science of Reading is colloquially known as Phonics. And yes, phonics is capitalized.

❓Does it actually matter? Yes, and let me tell you why.

⌛This kind of thinking is the kind of thing that, with time, will precipitate another pendulum switch. People will say "We tried doing the Science of Reading, but kids need more than just phonics."

😲 I'm already hearing it, and it's just not true.

🔠Anyone who is immersed in the structured literacy world knows that this is not just about phonics. Phonics has been talked about a lot simply because it was missing for so long. (I have 2 master's degrees in education from a great university, and neither one of them had any real phonics instruction.)

❗But it is not, and has never been, just phonics. We know that in order to effectively teach children how to read, we must strengthen both the word recognition AND language comprehension strands of the reading rope from the beginning.

❓Have you heard that the Science of Reading is just phonics? Let me know your experiences below. I'd especially love to know if you have heard anything like this from the district or state level!

❤️Make sure to give this post a like if it resonated with you.

❓How do we know exactly where to start our phoni

❓How do we know exactly where to start our phonics intervention?

🏁For me, it starts with administering diagnostics--a phonics screener and a spelling inventory. This will tell us exactly what our children can do with their decoding and encoding.

📕Then, we make sure we have a solid scope and sequence. If your district has one already in use, you want to follow that. We can only catch children up if we work to fill the holes. Going rogue is not going to help your students (unless, of course, that sequence is awful. Then you've got permission to change some things).

📖I start my instruction with where students need help with decoding. Why? After first grade, encoding (spelling) tends to lag behind decoding (reading).

✍️If a child can read a word, but can't yet spell it, that tells me they have some knowledge of the features. So I work on spelling during my cumulative review for those skills. I ensure I give them spelling practice each week for the skills they cannot independently do.

🧑‍🏫But my instruction starts with where they need help with decoding. I tend to do groups of skills--cvc, digraphs, blends, magic e, etc.--and choose a group of skills to begin with based on the data.

❓Want a FREE scope and sequence to help you with your planning? Comment "coconut" below and I'll DM you the link to my free sequence. (I was maybe drinking a coconut latte while writing this and now I can't stop thinking of it 🤷‍♀️)

💵I'm a SUCKER for a good deal. I should really stay off of Amazon today, but since I have no self-control and my daughter is in daycare, I'll instead spend my time finding us the best deals.

😍Head to my stories where you can see all the best ones I've found!

❤️P.S. Before you head to my stories, I'd love if you could give this a like so that Instagram will show this post to other teachers too!
