These kinders spent some time connecting phonemic awareness to writing as they used their @HeggertyPA “choppers” to segment sounds as they added new labels to their classroom @NicoleReginaCl1 @GeggieElem

On conferring- When we ask about the book, we’re turning the conference into a worksheet 🚫 When we ask about the reader & their process we recognize the work that they are doing & make it transferable ✅ @drgravityg @ReneeDHouser #TCRWP #SaturdayReunion #RSDreading

I spy first graders clapping syllables, looking at word parts and talking about what they notice about words. Connecting phonics knowledge to their everyday lives…words are everywhere!
We worked with our phonics partners today to study words around our room! @LitROCK_forth @KehrsMillRSD

Day 3 and already looking like professional writers. ❤️ ❤️ Amazing what can happen when a school commits to building consistency across grade levels. Can’t wait to see the stories these authors write this year!
