I'm late to the literacy party on Substack, but I just joined and am anxious to connect and learn. Let me know if you're there too!
I just wrote my first note on Substack substack.com/profile/1725275…
They’re here!!! 🏊
The Miami (OH) swim/dive team storms down the bleachers in Speedos, as SMU is about to take a free throw 🤣
Whole crowd goes crazy.
The free throw misses.

Let’s get this out of the way now.
Miami (OH) belonged in the NCAA Tournament even if it…
Loses by 1
Loses by 10
Loses by 20
The result of this game as well as every other game has zero effect on whether or not a team should have been included.
Now, the certainty is cracking.
The same voices are pivoting & talking about “phonics overteaching,” “book-centered instruction,” and “knowledge-rich curriculum.”
Nuance is back. Balance is back.
But accountability is not.
Interested in summer PD focused on comprehensive literacy? Hear from @TimRasinski1, Mesmer, Gallagher, Lindsay! I’ll talk abt introducing decodable books to support comprehension/vocab. Comprehensive Literacy Model Summer Institute:

Also, once the school year is over, try a 30 day period of only reading word lists and nonsense words.
That's what I do with my worst guessers, sentences trigger the guessing habit.
You can listen to audiobooks during this period, no reading of sentences or stories.
Just a reminder to register and mark you calendars for this free webinar. Teachers are discussing SOR mandates and their impacts on teaching and learning. What's working? What's not?
This will be such an informative free webinar! I learn from Melinda Karshner every time she talks about teaching. I will be there and hope to see all of you there too!!! @Eduventuring04
Thank you, AJ Brown, for showing that reading books can be your go-to support! You sent an important message to young fans. @Eagles (This Bengals fan is cheering you on!)
