I don’t know about you, but it seems like several of my little guys struggle with reading. Many of them break down with the simplest of words. The more I probe I realize that they don’t have the basic phonological awareness skills needed to become successful readers.

I kind of have a love/hate relationship with parent-teacher conference day. On one hand, I like the idea of having a day without kids to close myself in my speech room and do paperwork or get things done. However, this is never the case. It seems like I’m always pulled here and there and everywhere to answer parents’ questions, translate… Read More
Ok, I am all about keeping my students motivated to learn new concepts. Sometimes it feels like the only way to keep their attention is to sing and dance and stand on your head…and then that only works once. Haha.
