Dad x 2. Teaching 3rd graders since 2012. Proud WEAC Member. Structured Literacy is the way.
95% of my third graders can read grade level text accurately.

This 95% includes students with ADHD, dyslexia, behavior IEPs, low income families, split households, etc.

No excuses. Just structured, explicit literacy instruction in K4-3.

Structured literacy is the way 💫

General reminder that before you can say “teachers get 3 months off” you need to sub in 1st grade and 6th grade for at least a week.

Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

As Educators can we control…

Poverty? No.
Homelessness? No.
Family dynamics? No.
Hunger? Kinda.
Health issues? No.
Absenteeism? No.

Ensuring every student is given the gift of literacy? 10,000% absolutely.

After a week of using Cover-Copy-Compare to help master our two’s facts, over 90% of my class can now recall them from memory.

Because of this, they can now also solve their 4s much more efficiently by doubling without first having to skip count their 2s.

Big fan!

“If you don’t get reading right in an elementary school, every piece of the school suffers… every other content, every behavior, every data point… if reading is not done right in an elementary school, the effects are seen everywhere.”

Teacher Tip:

Always use “please” and “thank you” when interacting with ChatGPT.

That way, if it ever takes over the world, it might remember your kindness!

My 4 year old now refers to farts as “booty coughs”.
