So grateful to be working with colleagues to implement universal screening. Some great learning happening today at Huron-Superior Catholic DSB !

This just came today! Getting ready to dig into it after being inspired by @carolyn_strom and her metaphors to explain mapping.

What to do on a snow day? Help teachers organize word mats and sound walls of course! #UFLIFoundations #scienceofreading Huron-Superior Catholic DSB Anita Turcotte

Great discussion today about DIBELS Letter Naming Fluency screen. Is it measuring how many letters students know, or retrieval of phonological information from long term memory? Understanding results is essential if we are using them to inform instruction. #universalscreen

My brain is going to explode! Fabulous ELCOntario session today. Shout out to Waterloo Region DSB for the generous sharing and inspiring conversation!@apples4theteach

Doing my happy dance after checking in with some tier two groups and comparing their Phonological Awareness scores (/100) from September. So exciting to see so much growth! Anita Turcotte

I was asked to reconsider the term 'Science of Reading' because it's divisive + makes some people uncomfortable? Well, centering what's comfortable for adults is partly how we got here in the first place. So no. The Right to Read The Hunt Institute FULCRUM

Looking at our data for Summer Learning for SK/1 students. When you target specific skills it doesn’t take long for growth to happen! Anita Turcotte

Grateful to be attending the ELAN conference today! Great reflections so far on the impact of the new curriculum on student learning. Now on to the keynote! #ELANanticipates

“All communication was oral. It happened in community with people. All writing was originally multi-modal…The legacy of this walks into our classroom everyday.” Great learning today with @AngelaStockman at the ELAN conference. #ELANanticipates

This is amazing! So grateful for the generosity of Ontario Educators! Huron-Superior Catholic DSB

Wow - this is fantastic! 😍

What a wonderful surprise today when these landed on my desk. Can’t wait for the book study with Kate Winn! ONlit.org

So… has anyone in Ontario read the MOE’s approved screener list and noticed there’s one missing? Or are we just pretending it’s not happening? 😬 ELAN ELCOntario Anita Turcotte
