I virtually attended Marie Foley’s Making Sense Of Words With Morphology micro workshop, and I would highly recommend it to anybody looking to “discover how visual narrative and Structured Word Inquiry can help students make sense of the writing system.” www.mariefoleyreading.com/workshops

I’ve heard amazing things about SyllaSense decodables…so I took advantage of their Black Friday deals and ordered myself some books! I cannot wait to use them with my tutoring students (and I love supporting Ontario businesses!) #onted #structuredliteracy

Dyslexia is not as uncommon as we might think- between 15-20% of students have reading disabilities, such as #dyslexia.

I'm not sure how feeds differ from lists here, but if you would like some curated #SOR #ScienceOfReading content, I do have two lists! One with researchers only (including some adjacent to SOR) and one with SOR researchers plus practitioners. You can pin either list if desired (links below). #EduSky

A reminder to all of my #onted teachers that the OCT library has a lot of great structured literacy books that can be shipped (for free!) right to your door. I’ve been meaning to read this one for awhile!
