Yes! Behavior is communication. Often times it is the result of unmet learning needs.

Targeting appropriate therapy or instructional targets is the key to meaningful progress.

A contributing factor is not the same as the primary intervention target.

Practice need to inform research rather than the other way around.

Can young children begin studying morphology and meaningful word structure? This question keeps getting asked as if the answer is still unknown. It isn't. Those of us using SWI have known this for over a decade. Young children can think about word families, meaning, structure, spelling, and phonology when those pieces are taught together instead of artificially separated.

The research does not support making kindergarten and first-grade students " finish phonics" before they are allowed to study how words work.

Meaning, structure, spelling, and phonology belong together from the beginning.

The research does not support making kindergarten and first-grade students finish phonics before the study of meaningful structure of words.

There is a growing body of research on including morphology from the very beginning!

What people keep calling confusion is often refusal to recognize an answer that does not begin inside a phonics-first model.

Life Long Learning is real. We are never finished.

Every educator around the world can now get FREE training to learn more about literacy, dyslexia and learning differences.

The waiting-for-work training mindset is very outdated -and linked to the outdated wait-to-fail model. That allowed teachers to say “ no one taught us in teacher prep, we are waiting for work PD” which contributed to a huge lack of basic knowledge.

Once educators take ownership for their own learning, they will all know how to identify and educate the students who learn differently.

Now we know neurodiversity rights means every child matters.

Knowing about learning differences use to be viewed as optional. That’s an outdated mindset.

Now we can all treat people with respect, equality and understanding as part of basic human rights.
