“Teaching Reading Is a Work of Heart” was the theme of our meeting. 5th Block Teachers put their heart into the day’s activities by sharing best practices, writing lesson plans for our new decodable books, and diving into Lindsay Kemeny’s “7 Mighty Moves”. @TCDSB @LindsayKemeny

@MsLin21 @NormTcdsb @5thBlockTCDSB Early intervention is key! We can’t afford a “wait and see” approach! We desperately need more funding and supports towards spec Ed in our schools!
