In just 16 minutes, 5 seconds (less time than it takes me to walk the dog!) you can learn SO much about Reading Development from literacy expert and author of The Art & Science of Teaching primary Reading, @Suchmo83! Christopher is an experienced classroom teacher, knowledgeable about the reading research, and speaks in an manner that is accessible for ALL teachers. Not to mention, he’s one of the kindest humans on earth💙 m.youtube.com/watch?v=03XZFa…

This week we learned about the residential school system by reading books written by survivors. It was an emotional week. On Friday, we wore Orange shirts to honour these survivors and the children who never came home. #NDTR2023 #OrangeShirtDay

I was able to listen to 2 episodes of the @IDA_Ontario Reading Roadtrip podcast with host @thismomloves and guests @janhasbrouck and @LindsayKemeny. So many great takeaways from both episodes - from reading fluency and ORF to the 7 mighty moves we can implement in our classroom.
