Here is a quick resource around phonological/phonemic awareness from Heggerty. It was a quick webinar I joined designed to support parents and teachers. Take a peek for a reminder of ideas to try in your classroom OR ideas you can share with parents for summer. Here is a two-pager you could share with parents!

Inclusive Practices
What do INCLUSIVE PRACTICES look like in collaborative partnerships?
- All teachers have opportunities to collaborate and plan with the service providers that support their students.
- Sufficient time is available to support quality planning for all teachers.
- Sufficient time is available for service providers to meet with all planning teams they are a part of.
- All faculty members are knowledgeable of the contents of each student’s IEP for whom they are responsible.
- Service providers (Learning Specialists, OT, SLP, etc) promote the use of their services within the context of the population of the whole school.
