6 ways to level up
with the science of reading
John Luke Bell and Cindy Jiban
Many of us who teach literacy are now shifting our practices to better align to the science of reading. We’re using evidence-based practices like systematic and explicit phonics instruction.

Fact Sheet
Tools for fostering early word recognition: embedded mnemonics samples
One hurdle for young students who are beginning to read is learning letter names, shapes, and sounds. To help students master these arbitrary pairings between letter shape and letter sound, using letter-embedded mnemonics has been found to be more effective than using letters on their own or letters accompanied by a picture. Try out this sample set of embedded mnemonics with your early learners!

Podcast
This was a fun one… because we got to talk to you, our listeners! In this episode: We see how Mr. Potato head can motivate students, one additional limb at a time. We open a big box of costumes in the middle of class. We learn about a teacher who calls students’ parents to share good news, and how one student wanted to return the favor. And finally, we get to hear some incredibly touching stories of students and families letting their teachers know how awesome they are. (Jacob and Kailey get a little misty-eyed.)
