Really enjoyed my conversation with IDA Ontario and front-line educators last week. We shared the sentiment that literacy at a young age is crucial. I'm committed to getting back to basics with our curriculum to make sure students have the tools to improve reading skills.

So Perry excited to join the ONlit.org team! Year two of supporting Ontario teachers with implementing explicit, systematic and scientifically informed literacy instruction! The work begins!

Educators, itā€™s time to move beyond running records and reading levels for assessing reading abilities. These tools donā€™t effectively predict future reading difficulties or help guide our instruction. Check out @ONlitā€™s resource to learn more! #LiteracyMatters TDSB Early Years
