16 causes in 16 days...Day 16: Literacy Support!
✨✏️📚📒📝✨
I work with dyslexia and teach reading.
It’s an honor and I am grateful. My struggling readers are brilliant kids and hardworking learners with caring dedicated families. They struggle to access and afford instruction that is effective for them.🤩
It shouldn’t be so hard to learn to read and write!
🔏🔒🔓
Literacy is fundamental to many other issues including social justice, equity, mental health, economic security and so much more. That’s why I try to make sure I do what I can to prevent one less non-reader grow up without specialized support.
⬇️↘️
This campaign is from the worthy International Dyslexia Association - they suggest even a $1 will go a long way!

https://www.idadollardrive.com/

They migrated their 70th anniversary campaign into an emergency fund in response to Covid19 to help students who need one to one, families who need devices, and schools that need support.

Dedicated to my dad, who struggled to overcome dyslexia and built a life and successful career to support his family. ❤️ #16forapril16

🔸Jane Austen wrote and re-wrote her timeless works on this tiny table with a quill pen and small pieces of paper that she could tuck away to hide if someone entered. ✍🏻 🚪
Was so moved to see this “desk” in person and am reflecting on the juxtaposition of such a sparse set up being so profusely productive.
📖 🖼 📖

Maybe a sparse set up might also suit more focus in the 21st century as well? Perhaps a minimalist approach can allow more space for creativity to flourish?
💭🤔✒️
Wondering what students will notice in this simple set up?

And, of course, this is also Jane Austen. She must have been fiercely devoted to her work and a genius at it, to pull this off as a single woman during the Regency days on her tiny table. 📃💪🏼👒 I love ❤️ this table and all the rich history and wisdom for today this object suggests. 😌

🤓On the search —>goodness glasses! 😆 Share your good...👀 ✨Making efforts to find the good in every day and make it explicit with my learners so they can do the same.✨
👓🌟I see so many strengths in my learners they may not see in themselves. 💪🏾🦾💪🏼💪 🧠Our brains’ survival bias means that noticing and remembering the good bits take deliberate effort and practice. 👁Training an intentional eye for the good things. 👀 👓 How do you notice the positives and keep your Goodness Glasses in clear focus?🤓 Today I enjoyed getting a boost of good news @tanksgoodnews 🌟🙏🏼🌟🙏🏼 #learningframeworks

This fabulous @sunnyside_microschool learner gave a passionate presentation on their inspiration - @lizzobeeating - and wanted me to share a picture so Lizzo might see it and know how much her beautiful music, words about loving yourself, and “elaborate” costumes mean to them. We are proud of you, Justin, and grateful to Lizzo for her positive spirit and talent. 🎶💪🏾🔥🤎🎶
Shout out to all the kids who worked hard on papers and presentations at school! 🌻

“Kindness is...” - what do you fill in? 🤔 🧐
In the Season of Giving - 🎁 this is a gift we can all access - plus it’s good for others and good for ourselves. 🤗😉🥰😌🤗
Thank you @doinggoodtogether for this template activity and all the good you suggest!

As an ET, I will use it to prompt writing as well as reflection and see what great ideas come from my students.

How do learners and kids and people around you engage in kindness? What idea do you like for promoting more kindness in our world?

🙏🏼🌟👏🏻🌟 Thank you Educate, Emily

🙏🏼🌟👏🏻🌟 Thank you Educate, Emily Hanford, and APM for these thoughtful and researched reports on reading instruction in the US. All are a great listen for parents, educators, administrators, higher ed, politicians and taxpayers. Guess that’s all of us! 🗣👥👥🙌🏻 The research is out there and my experience teaching literacy aligns with their reports. We have the information and tools to teach kids to read effectively. We can increase these outcomes for all readers. 📖📚 #educatepodcast

It’s all about pumpkins right now...
🍃 🍂 🎃 🍂🍃
Sentence sorts, writing pumpkin paragraphs, reading pumpkin facts, and Halloween books.

Most popular trivia: jack-o-lanterns used to be carved from potatoes and radishes In Ireland prior to coming to the US.

Anyone else trying to find ways to channel the seasonal excitement into some productive literacy activities? 😁

Community is a gift. ✨🎁 ✨
Great to be in community today with educational therapists, learn from the wisdom of others, and take time to

In my podcast library - trying out a listen to Annabel and 🐢 Turtle.

A clever and dedicated mom- teacher-now-author took stories that she shared with her daughter and made them available to us.
💗🐢💗 I appreciate her thoughtful entrepreneurship, the voices of children, the messages embedded in narrative... check it out and see what you think. I have more to listen to still... 👂🏻 🧐

✔️Any Ella Jenkins fans out there? ↩️
Such a 💎 gem!
Loving listening to her today as I think about dance playlists for learning! 🎶♥️💬 I am looking for music that I can love and appreciate as much as the kids. 🤔 🗣🎶👁‍🗨
Looking to offer more song, rhythm, dance, and movement in the learning mix. 〰️🎵 ➰🎶〰️
🔄 More music & dance => more joy => better memory => stronger learning 🔄
🎵 ➕💃🏻🕺🏾➕🥁=💪🏽 🧠
This thinking is in conjunction with my Luna Dance Institute program.

What songs do you use in your practice, teaching, or classes?
Any that make you want to get up and dance? Plus offer a learning hook?

I am excited about building these playlists! 🤩

Welcome Back! 🙋‍♀️
It’s big time transition time... 🎒 🌀
My new post shares reflections for this transition or the other ones that are bound to come. 🌿🍁🍃🍂

Humans face change in all kinds of ways. Whether we are big or small, it’s worth paying attention to our response and what strategies help us. 🙇🏽‍♂️🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏽‍♀️
And for our struggling learners returning to school, the load of responses may be heavier and more tangled.
🔜🏋️‍♂️🏋🏽‍♂️🏋🏼‍♀️🔚 How do you manage change and weather transitions?

🌠👥 Hmm. 👀🤔 As we support our kids and learners during their return to school - what do our faces say as we lay eyes on them? 👁😶 Are we lighting up for them? ✨🌟
Welcoming them in or sending them off with our eyes and heart tuned in, in the midst of the busy-ness?
♥️ 👁 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃🏿‍♂️♥️ Was grateful when I heard this today via Oprah.
Will be trying to hold this in mind as I send off my kiddos😌 and greet people 😁of all sizes and ages in my world.

And also researching Toni Morrison to read more of her books and benefit from her insights in honor of her passing.
🙏🏼😇 Parents - What are you thinking about as you send your kids off to school? How do you greet them after school?
🤗🙄😍
Educators - what is important for you when you greet your learners?
🤩🤓🙂
Toni Morrison fans - what are your favorites?

It was an amazing week of collaboration, collegiality, and creativity -
In the name of dance & education, and under the leadership of Luna Dance.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I was grateful to be in the midst of talented & caring dancers, educators, and dance educators from the Bay Area and beyond. ➡️My vision and hope for next steps in my practice and profession:
- look for access points to integrate creative movement into educational therapy sessions
- develop a small, local class to offer for TK-K-1 learners that will entwine dance and literacy.
Followers, families & friends... Your inspiration, encouragement, and ideas are welcome...! 💡💫✨⚡️ The Luna Institute year of mentoring continues. 👣

Welcome 2019! 🎇🌠🎇🌠🎇 The flip of the year 🗒🗓presents a sense of new opportunities and reflection —wishing you all the wherewithal to access the skills that allow you to move to what matters to you most.

I reflect on the top 5 that I hold as a framework because they come up year after year. 🖼Re-framing the goals v. habits may promote a greater sense of progress. I call them the Goals of Gold... go for the gold! 🥇😁😆 https://learning-frameworks.com/framework-for-five-goals/

Excellent listen and read! 🌟🌟 The right of reading: there is a right way to teach reading and all learners have a right to access it.

Teachers, districts, reading specialists, and higher education institutions giving out teaching degrees — systematic direct instruction in language is the key to all our students being able to competently read!
If it is not happening as they describe in this report at your school at any level - ask for it!! Link here:

Happy Dyslexia Awareness month! Grateful for all

Happy Dyslexia Awareness month!
Grateful for all the brave, bold, resilient dyslexics out there finding a path to bring their gifts and talents to the world. 💫🙏🏼 I honor all my students and families finding a way to make it work. 👏🏻💪🏽🌟 Hooray for forging your own neural networks internally and building your networks externally.

I hope my ET work can help bring some ease to the struggle and success to tackling the code... one reader at a time.

The daily demands to perform... Can feel like...
“Yikes! I lost my learning!?!!”🙀 Ever have that, “but I knew this at home!” feeling?🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️🙇🏼‍♀️ We are all prone to performance anxiety.
And my students in particular may be able to do something in one setting and not another.🏡🏫 Or performance = answer a question you know... and the answer doesn’t come. ‼️⁉️⤵️ Cognitive science to the rescue! 👨‍🚒🏃🏽‍♂️🏃‍♀️⛑My favorite super hero! 🤩💪🏽🧠 This month’s blog post revisits Dr. Sian Beilock’s research with an ET perspective ...to look at psychological tools for better performance outcomes.
