A school without a solid, consistent curriculum from year-to-year is a rudderless educational ship.
Small group should be based in text, but not every student is ready for connected text or chapter books. Some need decodable text, or grade level fluency passages to build the skills necessary for connected text.
You are either part of a solution or part of the problem
Hear it, say it, read it, write it! If you want students to build their sight word reading base, then they need to do these 4 things with as many words AND as many times as possible.
Lucky enough to get to coach some of the teachers who I am facilitating LETRS for. All too often we give teachers great info like from LETRS, but we never support their classroom implementation. Teachers need BOTH!
I have been reading about the ire over not reading whole books. Tier1 texts should be quality stories and books meant to be read and re-read for quality comp. Instruction. Small group is where they need more trade books and chapter books to practice applying the skill from Tier1.
Three years ago I became employed at a school that was moving to SoR. They were the oddball in a district of BL. My “crazy” ideas were met with eye rolls and humphs of disagreement among some districts leaders. This week I was invited back to help implement those “crazy” ideas
Parents your child does NOT need another game, toy, or electronic device. What they need in this new year is quality time with you. Talk to them, play with them, read with them. Do family things together and have experiences. #buildingreaders #buildingfamilies #happynewyear
Tier 2 (small group reading) should be text based. From words and sentences for our earliest K to decodables, fluency passages, grade level connected text, and chapter books. If it is not your students will not make the gains they are capable of making. #SoR
🤩 Giveaway! I’m ending 2023 by giving away a copy of the must-read 7 Mighty Moves by Lindsay Kemeny - one of my favourite books of the year! 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 only To enter: 1. Retweet this tweet 2. Must be following me Ends Thursday December 28th at 8 pm EST. Good luck!
Just learning about SoR or Structured Literacy? Here is what you need to learn: What are the foundations of literacy, the continuum of skills for each block, the structure for teaching each block, and how to assess each block. Over the next week I will be covering these topics.
