Today I discovered two new websites that I am absolutely thrilled about!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://homeschoolingwithdyslexia.com/" target="_blank">HOMESCHOOLING WITH DYSLEXIA</a> is dedicated to helping parents educate their dyslexic children at home. Although the site's main focus is homeschooling children with dyslexia, there are several resources that can be used with children who attend traditional public school.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.theliteracynest.com/" target="_blank">THE LITERACY NEST</a> is another fabulous site devoted to working with dyslexic children in a one-on-one setting. It has several great research-based resources that will help your child become a successful reader.</div>

Welcome back to another wonderful year at Bulverde Creek Elementary! I hope you all had a very relaxing summer and are ready to get back into reading with Mrs. Green!! I am so excited to start working with my kiddos again and to meet a few new ones that have joined us from other schools.<br />
I will begin pulling students the week of September 12. Just a reminder that I pull intervention groups Mondays thru Thursdays for 30 minutes per day. I try to pull all students in a particular grade level at one time but sometimes make adjustments based on ability level and group size.<br />
Can't wait to see everyone!<br />

Are your kiddos struggling with letter reversals?<br />
Letter reversals can be one symptom of dyslexia, however this does not mean that every child who reverses letters is dyslexic. It is common for younger kiddos to reverse letters when they are first learning to write due to the fact that their fine motor skills are still developing. The reversals typically disappear by the age of eight years old or second grade.<br />
The following links include some simple exercises and fun activities to help correct letter reversals.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.8px; line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.8px; line-height: 19.32px;">This story follows the struggles of a student named Ally, a bright young woman whose intelligence is hidden behind a monumental struggle to read. It takes a special teacher to peel back the layers of the defensive wall Ally has built and make her believe she is special and can succeed, something she never dreamed possible.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.8px; line-height: 19.32px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.8px; line-height: 19.32px;">For anyone who has wondered what dyslexia feels like from the inside, for anyone who has ever felt "less than" because they did not fit a one-size-fits-all mold, for anyone who has had that one special teacher that changed their life, for anyone who has BEEN that teacher, and for anyone who loves a good underdog story that leaves you cheering through the lump in your throat...I recommend this book!!</span><br />

My kiddos love this quick and fun activity and it is extremely beneficial for building phonological awareness.<br />
I open up a blank SMART document then write one CVC (consonant/vowel/consonant) word. I highlight one letter of the CVC word then call on a kiddo to substitute another letter for the highlighted letter. They then write a new word and highlight a letter and on and on. The students take turns and try to make the words longer. You can find several activities similar to this on Pinterest by searching WORD LADDERS. Disclaimer: I have some shorties in my group so we tend to write a lot of words near the bottom and they LOVE to play with colors and fonts.<br />
Again, the kids love it and it requires NO prep, yet reinforces phonological awareness...I'd say that's a win-win!<br />

My little ones have been using <a href="https://padlet.com/" target="_blank">Padlet</a> A LOT! We use it to post answers to discussion topics, sort words and sounds, to make predictions about texts, etc. Here is just one quick example of how one of my groups posted and sorted words with short vowel sounds. I created this image in ppt. then used it as my wallpaper for a new Padlet. More posts to come as to how we are utilizing Padlet in our lessons.<br />
