#Structured Literacy

Ever feel like your literacy block is packed… but still not purposeful? Between whole-group lessons, centers, and small groups, it can feel like you’re juggling a dozen things—without knowing what’s actually working. That used to be me. Once I had a clear structure for how to spend my 90 minutes, everything shifted. 💗 I stopped second-guessing my small group time. 💗 My planning got easier. 💗 And my students started making real progress. 📩 Want a free small group planning template and a few practical tips to get started? Comment the word 🪨 ROCK and I’ll send it straight to your DMs! #ScienceOfReading #StructuredLiteracy #MaximizingSmallGroups #SmallGroupInstruction #TeacherPlanning #LeadinLiteracy

Syllable division (Breaking up words) is one of my favorite things to teach! This song by @carlasiravoauthor and @mikearchangelo is a favorite and I love hearing my students sing it! I challenge you not to sing as you watch this reel again 🙃 Save for later and following along for more literacy tips!

Here’s how it works…. But first - entire store is already marked down! No discount code needed 🙌🏻🙌🏻 It’s a digital manual first & foremost! This allows parents from ALL over the world to access these resources. A promise I’ve made to my community from the beginning is this — as the manual grows, you grow with it. This means you already own anything new I create and add ✨🙌🏻 Plus - you’ll be added to my insider community with additional support. I have a wonderful print partnership that’s helping me get these resources in print at a super reasonable price. (Thank you printme1 🙏🏻) But it’s up to you to decide how to best utilize these resources ❤️ But for children JUST learning the language… print > digital Each section of the manual includes an informational cover page to guide you on how to best use those resources. This is not a program or curriculum! It’s a toolbox 🧰🛠️ of structured literacy resources that aligns to the Orton-Gillingham approach. While it can stand alone, it also can work alongside your current curriculum. The component children love most is collecting engaging visuals as they learn the language. It’s a much welcomed difference than most programs. As the educator, you have access to the full scope of the language. Having a road map to the language in its entirety will allow you to understand what you’re helping your child build towards. This will also give you the confidence to know you’re not missing anything! ❤️ If you comment MANUAL the link will get sent. We can chat more in DMs!

One word at a time… that is how we build a reader! ➡️Drop the word “PYRAMID” below and I will share my Pyramid Reading Set of resources that I use in my classroom! Ever feel like your child hits a wall when they see a full sentence on a page? That overwhelm is real, but there’s a simple, research-backed strategy to fix it: Pyramid Reading! By adding just one word at a time, you build reading muscles without the stress. Why it’s a game-changer: ✅ Boosts Fluency: Rereading lines builds “automatic” word recognition. ✅ Builds Confidence: Small steps = big wins for hesitant readers. ✅ Improves Focus: Helps the brain master decoding before tackling the full sentence. ✅Deepens Comprehension: Less focus for the brain to decode and more “space” for the meaning behind it. . . . Sharing all my tips, tricks and resources that make learning FUN and MEANINGFUL 💛 . . . . . #parenting #kids #learn #school #new

🎉 This is the kind of real time reading strategies my families get ! We only had one - baseline gathering - session prior to this so I had not taught this concept but mom was able to message me - get he help they needed and move forward knowing exactly how to talk to her kiddo about b vs d. She now knows how to visually and verbally support him in that skill so that … 👉🏼 there was not power struggle between them over reading time 👉🏼 there was no frustration over a new skill 👉🏼 reading practice did not get derailed 👉🏼 confidence grew in BOTH mom and child! Comment YES below if you want to talk about how to get THIS kind of support in your corner ! (And also let me know if this will help your kiddo!) #raisingreaders #readingteacher #parentinghacks #learntoread #phonics

Make sure your kid has this foundation! Kids CAN memorize lots of words by sight, but it truly isn’t the best way to support their reading journey. To learn more about early stages of reading and how you can help as a parent, watch my FREE workshop found at toddlersread.com

I might get cancelled for this… but I’m breaking up with Teachers Pay Teachers. 👀 I’ve been feeling uneasy about it for a while because: • Teacher payouts don’t actually feel fair for the people creating the work • TpT is now owned by a massive ed tech company at a time when we’re already seeing the negative effects of pushing kids onto 1:1 screens • And while there are wonderful resources on TpT, there’s also no research vetting process, so educators are left sorting through products that sometimes prioritize aesthetics and marketing over evidence-based instruction That’s why I’m moving my resources to The Teachers Table. From the beginning, I was excited to be part of a company that centers: ✨ research-backed practices ✨ high-quality instructional materials ✨ and fairer support for teachers I also love that the model is far more teacher-budget friendly while still valuing the work educators create. Teachers deserve compensation. Kids deserve evidence-based instruction. And honestly? I want to feel good about where my work lives. So… I’m making the move. 💛 Comment TABLE, and I’ll send you a link to check it out! #ScienceOfReading #StructuredLiteracy #TeacherCreator #TeachersPayTeachers #ElementaryTeacher TeacherResources LiteracyInstruction EvidenceBasedTeaching ReadingTeacher FirstGradeTeacher Education TeacherTok TeachingResources EDUCreator TeacherCommunity TheTeachersTable
