For The Love Of Literacy
Welcome Educators to For the Love of Literacy
We want to introduce you to the many wonderful and creative people who are turning innovative research into practical lessons. We’ll try to clarify many of today’s confusing topics, break down time-consuming silos and demystify critical components of language, including morphology, vocabulary, sentence construction and language comprehension.
Our goal is to show how to teach reading, spelling and writing as one integrated ability, making literacy easier to learn and saving hours a week for more enriching activities. Our focus won’t just be on students that receive help from Special education and reading teachers but also disengaged students reading at grade level.
You will hear from noted researchers including Linnea Ehri, Marcia Henry and Peter Bowers as well as teachers who have developed lessons that engage students and enrich language abilities. Check back weekly to discover more Fulfilling Literacy Lessons and Clarifying conversations. Feel free to reach out to me at Bruce@ReadingShift.com.
