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 am in love with my new grapheme-phoneme and morphology card decks from Liisa Freure at Fundamental Learning.

The Canada Post strike is ending tomorrow so now is the perfect time to order your very own card decks! store.funlearning.ca

Loving my new decodable books from the SyllaSense Black Friday weekend sale! #onted

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.

This handbook for teachers, “Dyslexia in the Classroom: What Every Teacher Needs to Know”, should be mandatory reading in every teacher training program.

Doing a deep dive on grammar this evening with the always amazing Liisa Freure. If you’ve never taken a course with her you are definitely missing out!

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!

Do any of my wonderful structured literacy/science of reading people know of any upcoming Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals for great literacy resources? Looking to buy some decodable texts and teacher books for myself! #scienceofreading #structuredliteracy #edusky

Highly recommend @IDA_Ontario's Basics of Decoding and Spelling Instruction course. It's very affordable, asynchronous, and you have access to the course forever! #onted #structuredliteracy #SOR #edusky
