Just a month ago, this 2nd-grade student struggled with decoding CVC words and was hesitant to attempt reading.

Now, he has mastered CVC words and is reading and writing with digraphs and consonant blends! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ The best part is that he is feeling more confident and is more inclined to take risks rather than avoid them.

Iโ€™m not sure how I got so lucky! Two students gave me drawings today - just because.

Iโ€™m humbled that the first picture repeatedly says โ€œthank youโ€. I made sure she knew that Iโ€™m just as grateful for her and all of my students. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

I received this beautiful framed letter today from a graduating student. Reading intervention isnโ€™t speedy quick and itโ€™s hard work but it can be life-changing - for both the student and teacher. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ

I love my students!! ๐Ÿ“š

This afternoon:

โญ๏ธ Student A explained and illustrated how his ADHD ( โ€œ80HDโ€ ) and dyslexia make it โ€œso hard to readโ€. I love his self-awareness & how he advocates for himself and what works best for his brain. โค๏ธ

โญ๏ธ Student B is super artistic. She decided to practice reading and spelling words (real and nonsense) with consonant blends while simultaneously creating beautiful art! โค๏ธ

I love this graphic. Decodable texts are a bridge to feeling successful and a bridge to practice reading accurately (vs. guessing at words or looking at pictures).

The final destination is reading grade level text with accuracy, fluency, and comprehension! Decodable texts are a bridge to get them there successfully! โค๏ธ
