Excellent information!

Ever wonder about the difference between transposing letters and reversing them? ✏️🔤

They may look similar, but they’re not the same thing—and neither one alone indicates dyslexia. This Embracing Literacy poster breaks down the difference and gives teachers practical ways to support their learners. 💙💚

I currently have 2-3 tutoring spots left (2-3 depending on session length) for the school year. Those open spots are on Wednesday and Thursday. If you are interested in learning more, or know someone else who is, please feel free to reach out! I teach/tutor both online and in-person. :)

Good reminder!

With school starting back in a couple days, we know everyone is excited to take and post those pictures on social media, please be mindful of the background and information you are posting.

Wow, check out this stat! Doug Fisher shared this graphic online and I'm thinking about printing and sharing with families at Back to School night this week. What do you think?

Do you know a child that will be entering kindergarten this year? If so, here are some literacy skills to work on before they start school📖📚

So true!

One of the biggest shifts I've made in my own practice is moving away from teaching students to guess unknown words using pictures, the first letter, or context. The research is clear: these are the habits of struggling readers, not skilled readers.

Instead, we need to explicitly teach students how to decode words so they become confident, independent readers.
