Becoming a reader is not about learning a set number of “phonics rules” or guessing. It’s about flexibility within text. Having anchors for automatic word recognition. Knowing how to decode, when to rely more heavily on context, and always monitoring/confirming.

Yes! Let’s stop pointing fingers, yet consider best practices from all. #balance

Great day celebrating student achievement in my reading room! @Lesley_CRRLC #AcceleratedProgress #Balance #WeAreReaders #ReadingRecovery

Stop looking for a “box” or a “script” and be intentional with your teaching. You are the answer. You are the magic. Trust yourself. Do the work. Teach.

Student testimonials like this make my heart flutter. ❤️ 🦋 #ReadingRecovery #ChangingMindsets @Lesley_CRRLC @rrcna_org

Collaboration, learning and risk taking- those are what I consider essential to building a vision of education. They not only apply to educators, but the students we model them for. #neverstoplearning

A journey we started pre-pandemic, finally came out to end! Three years, a lot of hard work, but was lucky to grow and learn with some friends! Not many walk for a Post Master’s certificate in Educational Leadership, but today I walk to show my girls you can achieve anything. ❤️
