🍁🧡 🍁 It's the moment to pull out one of m 🍁🧡 🍁 It's the moment to pull out one of my favorite once-a-year books - "Five Little Pumpkins"! So much fun Word Play in this book! If there is one word my students all can spell by the end of October - it's "pumpkin"! (If there's two - 2nd is "chocolate"...) Using this gem of a book to teach or review: 👉 vowel-consonant-silent e vowel pattern 👉 rhyming! find the pairs, and who is left out? 👉 dividing two-syllable words - "pump," "get," "lit" becomes pumpkins, getting & little with the OG Rabbit Rule divide 👉 can throw in a chat about suffixes (-ing & -ed) and consonant-l-e vowel pattern (little) too, if learners ready for it... 👉 crafty kiddos have made pumpkins on a gate with popsicle sticks...also fun 👉 then READ and enjoy! My littles learn from it, mediums review it, and my bigs get nostalgic - so special to find books that feel like traditions. Happy Pumpkin Month!🧡 "Five Little Pumpkins" by Dan Yaccarino @danyaccarino #educationaltherapy #fivelittlepumpkins #pumpkins #literacy #learningframeworks #wordplayletterlove #dyslexia #teachreading #octoberlearning #ortongillingam #structuredliteracy #gamifyliteracy

💻Are you a fast typer? It helps a lot! I want t 💻Are you a fast typer? It helps a lot! I want this for my students too... ✍ I don't teach typing - I try to cover handwriting with them. My hope is that at school or at home - they will the 10-finger typing training they need. 📝 Just dropping a note in here for any parents, instructors, or practitioners - our students need to learn to type with 10 fingers, and be able to type fast! My students have fast brains, and if their fingers can find a vehicle to keep up - it helps a lot! Voice typing is great, but it does not replace 10-finger typing. 🙌Do you notice I keep saying "10-finger typing"? I do! That's because my video gamers are finding workarounds, and so practicing bad habits. 🛎Let's help make sure our next generation can type properly!

Welcome Back to School! 🎒 ✏️ 🌧 In hono Welcome Back to School! 🎒 ✏️ 🌧 In honor of an unusual August rain today here … 💦 And given the mega drought and changing water patterns - who is “thirsty” for some water themed learning? 😉😆 ☔️ 💧 CA Dept of Water Resources offers an array of educational materials - check them out on their web site! Water-related words like “drought”, “flood”, “aqueduct”, and “conserve” will fit well into literacy instruction as a foundation for larger topics. I will use them as a theme for structured literacy with layers of language. Latin? Anglo Saxon? Or Greek?👍 🌎 Building knowledge on scientific investigation and empowering individual action is worth a go and can make for connected learning experiences. 🌊 Best wishes to all parents, teachers, and specialists for a productive & learning-rich school year. @savewatercalifornia @cadepartmentofwaterresources #waterlearn #drought2022 #megadrought #cadeptwaterresources #goteachers! #learnaboutyourcommunity #educationaltherapy #structuredliteracy #layersoflanguage #learningframeworks

Maybe. 😁 Always worth a try! ✍🏻 📕 ✍🏻 This year 5th grade grads receive custom bookmarks - that hopefully might mark a spot in a good book. 🔖 And all kiddos receive a notebook 📒 to match their interest or personality. 🤞 Frixion erasable pens and invisible ink detective pens. 🖊 ✍🏻 ✏️ Plus stickers, gum & snacks to survive of course. Mainly I hope they will enjoy, play, and be well. Happy end of school to learners and instructors!

📖 &🧋 Ok. Here we go… new book and new bob 📖 &🧋 Ok. Here we go… new book and new boba for month of April! Many great themes in April but one thing all my students love: animals and nature - well, guess that’s 2 things … but it’s for one of my monthly themes - The Earth (Earth Day and National Wildlife Week). 👉The monthly themes provide rich, memorable content to keep my kids curious while I inject that structured literacy goodness. Earth offers a good opportunity to talk about sounds of “ea” - with this team, we got: 👂🏻 Ea as in eat and ear (long sound and 1st choice when don’t know) 👥 ea with a short (!) sound as in head — not as common - short is usually a closed syllable so it’s a fun exception that’s common enough that it’s worth mentioning… And the vowel team/r-controlled mashup: 🌎 ‘ear’ as in earth 🐻’ear’ as in Bear Let the word sorting fun begin! Did I miss any other ea gems that are worth it? (Not doing the long a like great by choice…) {Note: this mixup of EA team sounds is for learners who are at a level that they’re ready to hold different choices for decoding and spelling.} 📕 The book: offers great chapter subjects, mini segments that can interest all types of learners with bios, fun facts, interactive activities, and inspiring make-change-in-the-world suggestions. And beautiful design and illustration. A book gem 💎 that has already captured the interest of my multi-age students. “The Wide World Handbook: Creatures” —- 🧋 And I boldly tried a new Boba… That comes with a burnt top and a tiny shovel… crème brûlée. Does it sound good to you? Or..not? I’d say it was a treat.

Leprechauns strike again - making literacy messes Leprechauns strike again - making literacy messes and leaving puzzles in their wake… 🍀🧩🍀 Ready for reading, writing, rhyming, and movement-based fun in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day. 🍀👀🍀 My elementary students have come to expect a scavenger hunt of sorts for every holiday. It’s amazing how much more writing & reading practice they can stretch into when it’s part of an interactive and imaginative play activity. I make it up every time - so hopefully it will all work out. 🌈🌟 Gold pieces and rainbow parts are spread about my yard…they better find them all. 😆 Happy St Patrick’s Day! 🇮🇪 #learning-frameworks #educationaltherapy #themedlearning #luckoftheirish🍀 #structuredliteracy #interactivelearning
Happy Birthday to Einstein. 💚 I love how this Happy Birthday to Einstein. 💚 I love how this quote reminds us to value the power of imagination even over knowledge. From Einstein - an icon of knowledge and genius! Perhaps the genius is really in the imagination parts of the mind… 🤔 How do we “teach” imagination? 💡What if the education goals for our learners were imagination-centered? ⭐️ How can we help promote and value wonder, ideas, and a wandering, creative mind? 💭 Via Inspiring Quotes. https://www.inspiringquotes.com/inspiration

Any Wordlers out there? It may not be surprising Any Wordlers out there? It may not be surprising that for someone who teaches structured literacy - this game is really appealing. Orton Gillingham folks - do you Wordle? And our learners can learn a lot from trying it too! It gives a workout to their spelling brain. Parents and teachers who Wordle may want to try it alongside their learners to talk about letter choices and patterns. Combining a puzzle element helps gives motivation to spelling thinking - and this offers a 'zing' when there is success. The key is to help them find their way to the success moment, while still letting it be their moment. Anyone trying it with their kids or students? I have done modified versions with clear sleeves and a white board pen, cueing a specific phonics lesson to scaffold the thinking. I am still figuring out how to hook my students into it more deeply - so curious if others are thinking about the same. Happy Wordling! Here is an article from Professor Nell Duke at UMichigan breaking down its value (in linktree also): https://www.ascd.org/blogs/what-wordle-reminds-us-about-effective-phonics-and-spelling-instruction @nellk.duke #wordle #educationaltherapy #structuredliteracy #ortongillingham #learningframeworks #dyslexia

Um - fidget and gum crazy? Guilty! 🙋🏼‍♀️ [judgment free zone please!😆] They are colorful, engaging, and somehow relaxing - who can resist? 🌈 🧲 😌 These are not for me exactly… rather- for my students. And what benefits my students, benefits me with their instruction. Many of my students find that these ease their struggle as they take on difficult learning and try to hold their attention and regulate frustration. I honor their hard work and want to give them any simple tool I can that will help them move forward with greater comfort. And Students aren’t presented with all of these at once - I make a choice before their arrival to leave one on the table within reach. And I take their requests if they self-advocate for a fave. These tools have become essential during learning or to motivate breaks. You can read more about my tips and experiences with these at the blog post in my linktree. ⚠️ [Warning: I went a little long with that one …so many to share!] How about you? What are your students’ fidget faves? ⬇️ Read more at “Fidgets for Fun and Focus” www.learning-frameworks.com #fidgets #adhd #educationaltherapy #learningdisabilities #learningframeworks #dyslexia #ortongillingham #slingerland
