Had a great day talking K-2 literacy best practices at the VDOE Literacy Learning Lab with Carrie Leestma Emily McMillen VDOE News

Using whiteboard index cards to apply our knowledge of open and closed syllables to read and write multisyllabic words. This group struggled with reading and writing CVC words at the beginning of the year. Systematic and explicit phonics instruction works!@FCPSElemLA

Practicing our doubles facts while also practicing our fluency of writing numbers up to 120. The kids had a blast! Haycock Elementary
