How can we help?

Are you tapping into the various learning pathways (visual, auditory, kinesthetic/tactile) when teaching your students? Are they able to “see,” “hear” & “feel” what you are teaching?

Are you teaching your students that there is a logical connection between sounds and symbols in the English language?

Are you teaching your students the phonemes (smallest unit of sound) & their corresponding graphemes (written symbol)? Are you teaching your students that a whole word can be broken down into its smallest parts by decoding?

Do the materials/concepts in your lesson connect with previously taught information? Are your lessons structured in such a way that your students know what to expect throughout the lesson? Are your lessons moving from simple concepts to the more complex ideas & concepts?

Are you consistently circling back for review? This promotes word recognition, reading fluency & reading comprehension.

As skills are mastered, new skills are introduced. Each step serves as a building block to learning the English language.

Do your lessons teach your students the various rules of our language & how to apply those rules to reading, writing & spelling?

Are you consistently progress monitoring your students’ performance to assess areas of need & responsiveness to intervention?

Are you then taking the diagnostic information to drive subsequent lessons to best target individual needs.
