Developing emotional literacy is central to understand ourselves and contributes towards mental wellness #EmotionalLiteracy #MentalHealthMatters

Reminders If You Take Things Personally:

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

CVC word chains were a huge hit today during our small group learning. Feeling grateful for such a fabulous #literacy portfolio with so many great Grab n Go resources. Thank you TVDSBLiteracy

These Ss are not only building PA skills but also connecting sounds to print! They are using sound wall cards to identify articulatory features, sound sort activities to promote auditory discrimination and sky grass ground paper to practice letter formation. Amazing work!

Today, a student asked me if I could autograph their #soundwall 😂 That’s right folks! My braces in grade 5 came in handy for my gig as a mouth model for the TVDSB Speech-Language Pathology Services cards you’ve got in your classrooms! Available on your local consonant, digraph, and long vowel sound cards😉

I LOVE this carry over activity to bring #soundwalls off the wall

😍 couldn’t love this more! And the mirrors! What an amazing touch to help your students embody their learning 👏 TVDSB Speech-Language Pathology Services

What a great idea!!

This article in Chalkbeat says it all about why we can't just focus on literacy instruction for early grades. "As we embrace the science of reading we can't leave out older students" A great read.... buff.ly/3ZwXBQ8

#myslpday: 2 transition meetings to welcome new students to an ASD specialized class Knollwood Park P.S. and a developmental education class Ashley Oaks PS. AAC coaching for a family Cleardale PS. 2 articulation student rechecks, 3 language rechecks. 5 reports. Never a dull moment.

Sound Walls can be just as useful in intermediate grades! Here we have a room full of multilingual students analyzing the articulation features of the sounds they say every day. Love when self awareness and literacy intersect! TVDSB Speech-Language Pathology Services TVDSBLiteracy
