Children who are behind in reading do not magically catch up. They require early identification and effective intervention. Schools must implement curricula and teaching practices supported by research from educators, psychologists, and neuroscientists. Decades of research has shown the most effective ways to teach all kids to read. Classroom instruction must reflect that knowledge. Nationally, only 34% of our students can read proficiently in the 4th grade, leaving 66% below grade level. In Wyoming we do only slightly better. Only 41% of Wyoming students read at grade level by 4th grade. The percentage of students reading at grade level does not improve between 4th and 10th grades. That leaves over half our kids staggeringly below their potential. We can do better as a nation, and state, for every aspiring reader. https://www.parentsofwyomingreaders.org/contact daily 0.75 2021-01-26 https://www.parentsofwyomingreaders.org/mission daily 0.75 2023-06-19 https://www.parentsofwyomingreaders.org/leadership daily 0.75 2021-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fda42029f98b648cc49c9cd/1611593663601-5H8UE0RIDIWGRVS7WTHB/Dondi+Head+shot.jpg Leadership https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fda42029f98b648cc49c9cd/1611593622323-TK8K2NDR20WSLEI3KHLW/Brittany+Jensen.jpg Leadership https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fda42029f98b648cc49c9cd/1611593380983-FENHEGNY5BMWGDFE13L9/IMG_7100.jpg Leadership https://www.parentsofwyomingreaders.org/resourceslinks daily 0.75 2021-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fda42029f98b648cc49c9cd/1608144135248-0XUBV96EVKQ2S8DECPYH/mark-zamora-mFqAeaZgWO8-unsplash.jpg Resources https://www.parentsofwyomingreaders.org/get-involved daily 0.75 2021-01-26 https://www.parentsofwyomingreaders.org/links daily 0.75 2021-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fda42029f98b648cc49c9cd/1608144135248-0XUBV96EVKQ2S8DECPYH/mark-zamora-mFqAeaZgWO8-unsplash.jpg Links https://www.parentsofwyomingreaders.org/structuredliteracy daily 0.75 2021-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fda42029f98b648cc49c9cd/1615583787086-JS5P7L18YFRQEGVNO1W1/structured+literacy.png Structured Literacy - Structured Literacy This a series of posts from our Facebook page that go over what structured literacy means. We posted a graphic of several components recently, now we'll break those down step by step. These are all components that have been researched for decades and have a convergence of data supporting their use. “Do the best you can until you know better.

This was developed in 2001 after years of research. It includes everything a person needs to become a proficient, fluent reader. Starting with the basics of being able to distinguish and manipulate the different sounds in spoken words (phonemic awareness), sounding out words (decoding & spelling), and the split-second recognition of written words (sight recognition or orthographic mapping). These foundational skills are then supported by background knowledge of the world and varied topics, vocabulary knowledge that can help weave that with the background knowledge to further comprehension. These points are also woven into the structure of language- semantics and syntax, verbal reasoning, and knowledge of print (literacy knowledge). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fda42029f98b648cc49c9cd/1615603135454-TT6JLQG4WD4BH5YUBX1X/Decoding.png Structured Literacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fda42029f98b648cc49c9cd/1615583449022-OM3QHEENZ26H1MQON6ST/SImple+view+of+reading.png Structured Literacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fda42029f98b648cc49c9cd/1615608055475-AL5PSRJ868T7P3LIV8KE/Structured+Literacy+%28Rope%29.png Structured Literacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fda42029f98b648cc49c9cd/1615605606462-0EK43M01N8QGKMTRLEHH/language+structure.png Structured Literacy https://www.parentsofwyomingreaders.org/structuredliteracy-1 daily 0.75 2023-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fda42029f98b648cc49c9cd/1618610380128-XR9APFUW56XRJHRO8Q97/brent+sopel.png Dyslexia information - Structured Literacy This a series of posts from our Facebook page that go over what structured literacy means.
