1. We have been struck by the number of schools using coloured paper / overlays as standard interventions for children with reading difficulties. We did an informal Twitter poll & at the time of writing, 74% of the 1,120 respondents said that their school uses this approach.

Ms. Benison- In John Walker, Sounds-Write this is a key part of how we talk about the written system! "This is how we write the sound /b/" or just simply pointing to the spelling and saying "This is /b/".

When I recorded this, I never imagined that this video would be viewed as widely as it has 😳. I love hearing stories of how students find this b/d trick useful (and that some even teach their friends!) youtu.be/69Czzu79wgc

I was just trained in John Walker, Sounds-Write. I'm very excited to begin next school year. Just went through my academic vocabulary list to correlate with sound spelling patterns. Here is one for /ee/. I think this is another way to embed academic vocabulary throughout the school day.

John Walker, Sounds-Write Sean Morrisey The training was outstanding! I love how John Walker, Sounds-Write blends knowledge with concrete lessons. Then, it allows teachers agency in making decisions about which lessons when based upon student strength and needs.

Leah Mermelstein Consulting (LMC) John Walker, Sounds-Write I was just trained last spring and have been using it for about 3 weeks. I can't say enough how great the training was and the program. I have already observed significant improvement from Ss this year both in decoding and spelling and I'm only 3 weeks in. I'm over the moon.
