My goal (especially this year) - embedding practices that are SIMPLE, yet EFFECTIVE! 1️⃣ explain and model open syllable pattern 2️⃣ let students practice w magnetic letters, adding lots of consonants so they can explore DONE (until tomorrow 😁)

Why was I fighting independent reading with several attempts…reminders ☺️…to read ON YOUR OWN?!?! These students obviously know reading can be a beautiful social event! #BuddyReadingForTheWin #AdjustingForThem

Part 2: Open Syllable Practice 1️⃣ Found some words 2️⃣ Let students code 3️⃣ Watched as they blended open syllable with second syllable together Just think of all the PA and phonics skills being practiced! #SimpleYetEffective

Reading group? Ha! More like reading 📖, thinking 🤔, writing ✏️, and discussing 🗣 group! Reading is much more than just flipping through pages calling out words.

#DayAfterSpringBreak 💜 Allow plenty of time to talk in partners/groups. They will want time to catch up! 💜 Play some quiet music and extend independent reading time. They will be tired, so let them relax w/ a book! 💜Let them creatively draw. Let them free write.

Dissecting words is SO MUCH FUN! 🤔Think: How many syllables? What are the sounds in each syllable? 🖍Now off to go write the letters that represent the sounds!
