Pathways

Just dropping by to say hello to some new followers 📚🌱

If you’re a new follower, here are some fun facts about me and Pathways:
📚My days are busy with an almost full time job as a reading interventionist
📚I currently serve five students in private afternoon tutoring sessions
📚I do plan to run my summer intensive program again this summer!

I wish I could clone myself and take on more students, because I love private tutoring. I am so proud of the kids I work with and so grateful for their grown ups who put their trust in me.

Pathways’ plan going forward is to serve striving readers, advocate for best reading practices in primary grades, and support my teacher friends who want to journey with me in bringing accessible literacy instruction to EVERY. SINGLE. CHILD.

Let’s keep in touch! ❤️ Jessica

Decodable text 📚🌱

These types of texts are so important for developing readers!

Multiple, multisensory exposures to the code are so beneficial!

Do you have a reader who is working on fluency? Here’s a great strategy I adopted from and put my Project Write spin on.

Color code the sentence based on:
❔Who (subject)
❔Did what (predicate)
❔Where (expander)
Next, have your student scoop the phrases together as they read. You’re hitting soooo many skills this way-grammar, fluency, and comprehension!
