The fisty brain was a huge aha moment for me because it seamlessly makes the connection of the theoretical models of 4-Part Processing and Scarborough Reading Rope. https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/629376098 2020-06-16 18:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/629376098 Needed jenny_douglas1 https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/629376184 I needed the refreshers- Ehri's phases, especially the middle two were tricky for me.

I also really like the sound wall and the vowel valley. Hopefully I can get teachers in my building to use these instead of word walls. The other thing that I really liked was Anne's explanation of how the /ch/ and the /j/ are fricative wanna be's! Great information today! https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631110937 2020-06-17 19:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631110937 There is so much that will be helpful to our teachers when they are trying to figure out why students are making certain errors. https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111096 2020-06-17 19:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111096 https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111169 I enjoyed going over the English consonant phonemes by place and manner of articulation chart. That really helped going over. :) 

]]> 2020-06-17 19:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111169 A lot of content to learn and a unit I know I will keep going back to over and over again to review.

]]> 2020-06-17 19:37:30 UTC https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111459 I found today so helpful in filling in my gaps - especially ng! I also found the discussion of what we need to consider when supporting ELs. This has been on my mind for some time, but I wasn't seven sure where to start. Thank you for the deep dive! https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111523 2020-06-17 19:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111523 Very helpful session today. One of my takeaways was to remember that kids spelling by sound and how it feels. Also, loved the tap, map, and zap it idea. Thanks so much again! https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111531 2020-06-17 19:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111531 Down in the valley... https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111545 I feel like I have a better understanding of the vowel valley and the English Consonant Phonemes by Place and Manner. ]]> 2020-06-17 19:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111545 I love the pictures of the lips. Very helpful for students who need to feel those sounds - so pretty much all of them. https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111906 2020-06-17 19:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631111906 I enjoyed everything about the today, but my biggest aha moment came with recognizing and understanding the logical behind spelling errors especially with co-articulation. The vowel valley was good too because it help me understand why students so often confused the short /e/, /a/, and /i/. The lips are fantastic. I can't wait to share the idea of having a sound wall. Great day! https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631112157 2020-06-17 19:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631112157 eu https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631112872 2020-06-17 19:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/annewhitney/zy8kf6n3uu8hyvnq/wish/631112872 This was intense work, but I feel much better now about how to present this information.

This week has been a good dive deeper into the material. I really enjoyed seeing some of the activities that we missed out on due to being all virtual training. I loved connecting with everyone and learning from their experiences. I feel more prepared to facilitate the information and look forward to having access to the slides to really start preparing my instruction for the fall.

I have learned so much through this training. I feel better equipped to make the connections between the different models for reading.

WOW! What a week! I have learned so much these last four day that I feel I have climbed the ladder at least two rungs. The work of LETRS has been very intense, yet very rewarding. I can't wait to share this knowledge with our teachers. It is my belief that from this day forward we are taking the right path to our students becoming proficient readers.

I appreciated revisiting the concepts in LETRS through the lens of introducing and guiding teachers through the different phases of understanding and awareness.  I also deepened my own understanding of the vowel valley, place and manner of articulation, and All of the Language Systems.
