Thanks Alycia!

Wahoo! Every time I do a SIOP session people ask about support for newcomers.

Agree! I wear hearing aids and if I’m far away, I can’t hear. I cringe whenever someone says they will just use their teacher voice. I try to sit up front just in case.

Congratulations Dr. Trower! Amazing accomplishment!!

With lower elementary I have mostly focused on because/but/so. I often use it in conjunction with a sentence pattern chart and it helps produce good ideas at the sentence level. I haven’t used the SPO or MPO at all.

I’m loving it so far! I feel like the first part was really the area of growth for me (word recognition) and now the language comprehension pieces are so affirming that we are doing great things with our lessons!

I have mine organized in categories with labeled tabs, and I love being able to close the ones I’m not currently working with. So helpful to me!
