Hi. I'm a reading interventionist who is moving classrooms (again!) I enjoyed your set-up videos. You've probably mentioned this already, but where can I get those phonics patterns hexagons? Thanks!!
So many #goals !!!! I love everything about this space! I am starting my first year of teaching and first year as an interention teacher so this video was PERFECT!!!! So helpful.
I just rewatched your video after finding it last summer. I did use the tri-fold folders this year and they lasted all year. I ran 4 Centers for Monday and Tuesday and then repeated them for Wednesday and Thursday. Filling folders midweek was a burden so I'm thinking of running 8 Centers this year. I figured out that Epic was your Listening Center. I couldn't figure out what your 8th center was but I found it on your chart: Library. I'm curious if your students just read independently for 25-30 minutes, or, did you have some other element to that center? Also, what did you do for wonky weeks when there wasn't time to complete all 8 sessions of centers? Thanks!
The one thing I dislike about standard education is all the cutesy pics and fonts. I really appreciate Montessori principles where children develop appreciation for real world imagery and are treated like little adults. When I used to teach, I used my graphic design background to create all my materials. I only used illustrations that resembled life-like, not necessarily realistic. I used font that was simple and beautiful, never cutesy or child-like. Basically, everything emulated an adult world but scaled down to children size. The students felt special every time they entered the room and they treated everything with care because they subconsciously realized that the items were to be handled with care. Just like they would with grownup things.
Hey! New Reading interventionist here. I'd love some tips now that you've had a year as an interventionist. I'll be doing K-6th grade and I am sharing a room with other interventionists as well. What would you do again and what would you do differently? Do you still do the 8 different centers or was that just for your regular classroom? SO many questions! I'd love to pick your brain if you ever have a minute.
Your reading area is so cute! I also have a small reading intervention room and this video has helped me so much. Thank you for posting. How are things going? Is there anything you would do different now that you've been in the room a while?
Hello! Can you please send me a link to the resources from Amy Scott with the sentences that students read in different voices / with different emotions? I can't find her site when I search online.
I'm impressed California, or school districts in California, are finally moving away from the whole word reading system, which for me was why I couldn't read until my grandparents paid for me to go to a private school that taught phonics. We've done our children a massive disservice moving away from phonics, which may take a little longer to grasp, but once they do the kids never have to guess again. <3 Thank you for the overview. I'm looking at offering tutoring in phonics and love the OG system. I'll look into IMSE. :)
I completed this IMSE training a year ago and wanted a quick refresher. You did an amazing job summarizing the course. Can’t believe this was your first vlog. Keep it up.
I am so confused on how you are rotating the schedule so everyone meets each center by the end of the week. Can you please explain your thought process of the rotation???
This is my first year as a Reading Interventionist. I'm trying to set up a grapheme wall and unsure on what to use. Are you familiar with Secret Stories? Thoughts? I was trained in Orton Gillingham over the summer and am excited to use it. Would Secret Stories mesh or should I invest in something different?
