My Project

Every since before I started my student teaching journey, I knew I need to participate in the Wired for Reading training to best support young learners in their reading journey.

Using a speech-motor approach to teach phonological awareness creates a deep and powerful foundation for reading and spelling.

Studying the relationships between speech and sounds, sounds and letter patterns, and meaning patterns in words and how these impact phonics patterns.

Learning kid-friendly terms for Linguistic concepts

Research indicates that when teachers learn linguistics, the deep structure of English, they are better prepared to understand and respond to their students’ decoding and spelling errors. (McCutchen, 1998; McCutchen, Green, Abbot, & Sanders, 2009).

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
