Really Great Reading

Motivating students is a challenge educators face daily. By combining principles of productive struggle, attribution to effort, and goal-setting, teachers can break through motivational barriers and create confident, capable learners. At Really Great Reading, we see these principles come to life every day. Our structured, research-based approach to foundational reading gives students opportunities to achieve mastery in manageable steps, reflect on their success, and set goals for continuous growth. By pairing literacy instruction with motivational strategies, we can help students not only improve their reading skills but also develop the confidence to take on challenges in all areas of their lives. #LiteracyInstruction #ReallyGreatReading #EducationMatters #StructuredLiteracy https://hubs.ly/Q02YKJpj0

We are grateful to Principal Jabari Edwards for his insightful testimonial about Really Great Reading at the CSA Annual Conference!

Let’s continue to inspire and uplift every student on their literacy journey!

Older students like Mara Mitchell’s son, C.J., are facing a critical 'decoding threshold' that impacts their reading comprehension and academic success. Despite learning foundational reading skills in early grades, many struggle with multisyllabic words and complex vocabulary. This latest research underscores a growing need for targeted reading intervention and support for adolescents, particularly in middle and high school, to help them thrive in every subject. At Really Great Reading, we believe every student deserves a strong literacy foundation, regardless of age. By focusing on decoding and comprehension skills in older students, we can bridge learning gaps and empower them to tackle challenging texts with confidence. #ScienceOfReading #DecodingThreshold #ReadingIntervention #AdolescentLiteracy #LiteracyMatters #ReallyGreatReading

📚 Did You Know? Practicing phonemic awareness with multisensory lessons helps kids decode unfamiliar words by teaching them to listen for individual sounds and patterns. This skill gives students the superpower to tackle tricky words confidently! By turning literacy challenges into treats, not tricks, we make reading fun, accessible, and rewarding for all young learners. 🍬✨ With engaging activities like word games, sound-matching, and hands-on practice, our lessons make learning to read a spooktacular adventure! 🎃

Many children struggle with Developmental Language Disorder, "but so few people seem to know about it," which is why raising awareness is so important.

Imagine a classroom where every child seems to understand the instructions—except for one. This student isn't struggling with the task itself but with the language used to explain it. This could be a sign of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). DLD is a learning deficit that affects a child's ability to use and understand language, leading to challenges in communication, academics, and social interactions. It affects approximately 1 in every 14 kindergarten-aged children, yet it often goes undiagnosed due to its subtlety and complexity. On #DLDday, let’s raise awareness about DLD and advocate for better identification and support for those impacted. Together, we can help create inclusive classrooms where every child has the chance to succeed.

Did you know 1 in 14 children are impacted by Developmental Language Disorder? On #DLDday, we’re shining a light on this hidden challenge and advocating for the power of communication. Together, we can support their voices, celebrate their strengths, and help them succeed. Learn more about DLD from OxEd's post below and see how we can make communication accessible for everyone. #DLDawareness
