Thanks to Bowling Green Biggby and for a great start to our Monday! We appreciate you!

Never stop learning. #dyslexia

As much as I love the Target dollar section, this ABC puzzle is a miss. Airplane does not say /a🍎/, earth does not say /e🥚/, giraffe does not say /g🟢/. Also problematic- ice cream, owl, unicorn, xylophone. Graphemes should represent the most common phoneme. #literacy

Did you know that understanding spelling better leads to improved reading comprehension? Spelling is an important skill that helps us read more efficiently and effectively. #dyslexia

We can't stress enough the importance of checking in with your child to see how things are working for them. They will know. #dyslexia

Thank you BG Conneaut PTO and Bowling Green Biggby for the pick-me-up today.

These bobcats are so excited for our new St. Patrick's themed fluency game. They are practicing accurately and automatically decoding words while trying to protect their gold from the sneaky leprechaun. Alyssa Karaffa

"No system or district in the world has made significant gains for students without a relentless focus on the learning and teaching process." -Anita Archer #OHDyslexiaSummit23

Learning Archerisms for explicit instruction at #OHDyslexiaSummit23

So excited to hang this where I can see it all day as I teach. Cannot wait to take what I learned at #OHDyslexiaSummit23 and apply it!

Picture sorts really help 1st graders attend to the sounds they hear in words and connect them to print, which strengthens reading and spelling! Not to mention it's a fun way to practice tricky nasalized vowel sounds! Alyssa Karaffa
