Phonics and Phonemic Awareness are the building blocks of reading. Without a student knowing their sounds, they struggle with reading

Movement/visuals to support phonemic awareness.

Systematic structured format is best.

When kids are graphing their words meaning they are segmenting and chunking the words by sounds.

Use of skill differentiated station rotations.

Use of sound trains-- very helpful for lower level readers.

Phonemic Awareness is the backbone of of reading.

The way we teach vocabulary is different. We count out syllables of unknown words as well as break down a word's sounds. This way students can identify blends as well as sounds in isolation.

Our school scores are terrible.

I feel like I am taking more time to annunciate the sounds than I would have before

We are following the correct instruction path even though we didn't realize we were.

We are more intentional

Always checking with students to see if they are mastering skills.

We need to revamp our daily schedules to provide larger, uninterrupted ELA blocks.

Need deocodable books that match our phonics program so that the students have connected texts with the skills.

I learned that reading is requires specific skills that require activation of the left brain.

Using the AI decodable generator to make passages with our spelling pattern words.

Expanding from the phonics lessons into comprehension. Scaffolding across grade levels.

Every classroom needs an assistant.

Time management. It seems as though we have so much on our plate. With testing fast approaching, we are finding gaps in student learning and there is very little time to cover everything.

I wish there was a stronger bridge between TK and K for decodable readers, but its not part of our current curriculum.

The variety of ways in which to teach reading to children.

I am utilizing the decoding planner more strategically.

Time to be able to carefully review student work so that we are able to provide effective feedback.

The order in which the letters are taught in preschool

I want to develop more digital lesson plans. I need more time to collaborate or build my lesson plans out and gather my materials.
