🗣️ Teachers this 👇🏼 is why it is vital to systematically and explicitly teach the code (phonics)— once students know the code they have strategies to read all words! @Alabama_Reading @AlabamaAchieves

Automaticity in fact retrieval/high frequency words/etc. doesn’t mean students weren’t taught the conceptual pieces. If we are doing this right, automaticity is a result of accuracy in practice and repetition. Memorization without understanding is the problem. Not automaticity.
A Key New Study 👇👇👇 “In districts that emphasized #balancedliteracy practices, students with disabilities had considerably lower reading gains… Putting a fine point on it, this approach appears to do active harm to young learners.” nctq.org/blog/Getting-d…
In the words of Dr. Anita Archer, a respected authority on literacy, explicit instruction makes a difference. Do you agree? #explicitinstruction #Literacy
Sound walls are all the rage now. You can see them in classrooms & on social media. Learn what they should look like, how they're used, and the kind of training that's needed for teachers to make effective use of them @tools4reading from @MaryDahlgren. podbean.com/media/share/pb…
Assessment is part of EVERYDAY instruction. @wendysclay @Goodwin_KimG @Alabama_Reading @AlabamaAchieves

Alabama Literacy Network's Podcast | Positive Brain Power: Interview with Hettie Johnson on Podbean, check it out! podbean.com/ea/pb-6hq6n-fd…
Incorporating a sound wall into your instruction helps students connect what they are hearing, saying & writing. Even with Southern accents, ya’ll! #mega2021
Writing is one of the most challenging things we ask students to do: working memory can only hold a few things at a time, plus inexperienced writers may struggle w/letter formation, spelling, word choice, organization & content knowledge. @natwexler @AlabamaAchieves
Human brain has 2 primary survival directives: seek patterns & pleasure. Patterning is when the brain stores new info by linking it to stored info, which is what we call schema. This process is what allows our brains to recognize & make meaning and is the foundation for literacy.
Love this!!

How to break up with balanced literacy with three starter steps to shift toward the SOR: 1. Teach kiddos to decode high frequency words (stop memorizing) 2. Remove word walls (learn about sound walls) 3.Teach with decodable texts (not leveled readers). Read 👇

Here’s a look at some sensory tray work we are doing this week. Great way to review skills that you’ve been working on. We practiced coming up with words that start with the same phoneme/grapheme that they revealed. #multisensory #kindergarten #phonics @IMSEOG
Great practice for open/closed syllable reading! I put letters in the eggs &had a student pick one. Then I wrote it on a post-it and we segmented &blended the C/V sounds. I used an additional post it w/ “sh” to model closing the syllable. #kindergarten #phonics @IMSEOG
