Teacher Tip Tuesday

Here’s a little reading advice that’s helpful for new readers, confident readers, and even those of us who occasionally get stuck on a tricky word!
"Not sure how to spell a word? Tap it out! Use your fingers to tap the sounds you hear in each syllable.
Each sound gets one finger tap. Then, write the letters that represent those sounds.""
-Kelli Claflin, SS Reading Specialist
