We are so grateful that the @pvpto allowed us to join their meeting last night. Ray, our very first Reading Buddy, presented about the program and helped us request funds for games and resources to enhance the program. @PVMrsJ @mgsd70

The English language does not have to be confusing for students. When teachers know how the language is structured they can teach about it. But, if teachers aren't taught about the language- things like phonics, phonemic awareness, and grammar, we can see where the gap starts.

Structured Literacy has many elements, alone they are pieces to a puzzle. Together, they make a strong reader! We will break down the elements in the coming weeks. We will also hear from individuals- why Structured Literacy is important to them, personally. Keep an eye out!

It’s time for the first set of #IowaSOR concurrent workshops! @janhasbrouck is breaking down what oral reading fluency assessments measure, why they are so widely used, and how they can inform educators’ decision-making for instruction and intervention. Let’s get to learning! 😀
