Shannon and Mary discuss a professional article, "Why Phonics Teaching Must Change" published in Educational Leadership, September 2008 by Jeannine Herron. They talk about a different approach to teaching students to read. What if we focus more on encoding activities rather than starting with decoding activities?

Today in the reading teachers' lounge, we discuss dyslexic tendencies, dyslexia-friendly classroom activities, and more concerning the ins and outs of dyslexia. Join us on our journey to deepen your understanding of dyslexia.
