Kindergarten reading lessons professional#
I used what I learned from my professional development the very best I could, and I had a co-teacher who had been teaching balanced literacy and she was a great help.

We're so glad to have you here on the podcast. While that series was going on, I received an email from Stephanie, a teacher in Arkansas who asked if she could come on the podcast and share her story.
Hello, everyone! You might remember that in the summer of 2022, I had a blog series where I interviewed teachers who had moved from more of a balanced literacy approach to a structured literacy approach.
