Kicked off LETRS professional learning with half of our fifth grade teachers and sixth grade reading teachers today. Here's one small group analyzing letter names. It was a day full of knowledge building, reflecting and growing. When we know better, we do better. Lexia

Love when local organizations offer opportunities to continue to deepen our knowledge on the research around high quality literacy instruction and dyslexia. Thank you RALC for bringing in Dr. Mazzye! 🧠 📖 ✏️

Day 2 of LETRS yesterday! Here they are practicing administering the PAST and sharing the big take aways about Phonology at the end of the day. Understanding the role of phonology is critical to providing effective literacy instruction 👂 🧠 📖 Lexia #KnowBetterDoBetter

LETRS Unit 2 work with another group of dedicated teachers. After learning about each of the consonant and vowel phonemes, they worked in pairs to identify the vowel phonemes in different words and discuss the phonological confusions represented in student spelling 👂 🧠 ✏️

Language is the anchor of reading comprehension. What we are comprehending IS language. Developing accurate and automatic decoding is the KEY to unlocking complex, knowledge/empathy-building texts with advanced language & syntax. I developed this infographic to demonstrate this.
