After reviewing that all sentences need a WHO & DO, we discussed making them more complex with a WHAT. We’ve been working with who & do for several months. It took us this long to be writing independently in K. Lots of scaffolding prior to this. 2/3 @SoRclassroom
We appreciate that you share your instructional routines as you apply your LETRS learning!
Absolutely love the LETRS vocabulary routine!
Here Kindergarten Ss are working on step #5: Ss are using the word in conversation and then trying to form a written sentence using the word.

OK! Now the reporters at CNN are following the lead of @ehanford and sharing the "news" about failing reading programs in U.S. schools! This should get some attention!

@AthenaCNN has been digging into the crisis:

Part #3 Open/Closed Syllables. Applying our learning to irregular words…for now.
👉Concretely showing why it’s an open syllable
👉Reviewing the vowel sound
👉Decoding the word
@SoRclassroom #decoding #opensyllables #knowbetterdobetter
Great example of a well-paced, explicit phonics lesson…that begins with skill targeted phonemic awareness! 👏
Our focus was /j/. Check out how we get our reading brains warmed up with targeted phonemic awareness. @SoRclassroom #phonemicawareness #phonemeswithprint #speechtoprint

Today we read the book That's Not My Name - each student got to say their name to their classmates to ensure we are all saying them correctly. Respecting our uniqueness. We then recognized which Capital our name should go under - spelling out their name to us. #Kindergarten
