Re-learning Reading
What a Journey
Five Moments of No-Way!! Learning
The Unique Morning Brain Exercises & Ways of Sharing Learnings: Snowball fight and three steps right three steps left are by far my favourite!
The full overview of the literacy block structure: an automated system that instills independence in children and fosters inquisitiveness and planning skills.
Guided Reading for Intermediate Students: The books with practical step by step as to how one can perfect every minute of their literacy block (book pictures shown below). The work is already done, why do trial and error when someone has already done that for us!
Focusing on the Overall Expectations: Quality over quantity. It's more useful for children to gain mastery of the concepts learned. My interpretation of this great advice is that it doesn't mean abandoning the specifics but they will be covered at a reasonable pace and giving the overalls due justice usually automatically ensures the specifics are being covered any way!
