Tyedupinlearning

My name is TyLyn, hence the spelling in tyedupinlearning. I've worked in an elementary school for the past 20 years. I work with struggling students in K-6, mostly with phonics. I've been trained in the Orton Gillingham/Brainsprings Phonics First program and Lexia. I've seen it make a big difference, when done correctly. Additionally, I've used Phonics for Reading, KPALS, PALS, Read Well and I've recently started learning the UFLI program and mClass from Amplify. I believe that vocabulary is very important. I find that many students do not understand the vocabulary in the directions for completing assignments or in questions on State testing. I'm hoping the resources I've created have more detailed information for both teacher and student than found in other resources. I believe students do better when they understand the definitions, rules, and the WHY behind the way we do things. Multisensory activities not only keep the students more engaged but make learning fun instead of a chore. Their brains seem to connect and retain better with this style of teaching and interaction.
