Reading Stamina --Minutes Read in Class Poster
This is a great way to keep track of the number of minutes you've been reading independently in class and to motivate students to focus more on their independent reading. There's also posters for number of minutes of writing independently. I printed mine out on white cardstock and laminated it so I could write the number of minutes with a dry erase marker. There are two types of fonts, one for a primary classroom, and one for the upper grades. The posters come in red, blue, yellow, and green

Along with developing small group lessons targeting the needs of struggling readers, I also provide classroom teachers with interventions and strategies that support their learners.
Teaching style
I believe that the teachers have a very challenging job, addressing the academic, social, and emotional needs of children and guiding them towards independence.
Best Practices in Teaching:
*Social-Emotional Learning & strong teacher-student relationships
*Growth Mindset
*Science of Reading: direct, explicit, cumulative, multi-sensory phonics instruction & knowledge-building activities
*Differentiated & Scaffolded Instruction: Meeting students where they are and providing supports as necessary
I am constantly growing and learning about how kids learn best!
