I'm not unique, and that sense of gratitude is true of most birthright citizens and immigrants generally.
We aim to repay America in-full and with interest.

Such a great example of translating research into practice and addressing persistent misconceptions about phonemic awareness. Well done, @DrNathanClemens and @tiffany_peltier! @DyslexiaIDA

One of the BEST presentations Iāve seen on why and how letters should be integrated into PA instruction. Beautiful balance of translating research AND providing research-informed, pragmatic routines! Thank you @tiffany_peltier & @DrNathanClemens! ššš #IDA24

Key takeaways shared:
- PA = not primary objective of reading instruction/intervention
- Integrate letters
- Focus on phoneme level
- Studentās performance on advanced PA tasks is highly influenced by their knowledge of word spellings
