Did you know that God created us with 6 Memory Systems? Six that we know. We should challenge students with using all 6 memory systems. We cannot get stuck thinking one way is the right way or the best way for learning.

The wordless book has long been a favorite of mine to tell the Gospel story. Children love to relate colors to heaven and salvation. It also makes it easy for them to share with family and friends.

Having a reading contest during the month of March can energize and improve student reading abilities. 

Do you ever read something and get to a point and think wait, what did I just read. And you must read it all over again? Reading is often a task we often find ourselves mindlessly going through the fluency steps but without understanding. We are just checking a box that yes, I simply read what I was supposed to read.

Students that struggle with reading comprehension often skip prior reading skills because let’s face it, they would rather have the plague than read!
They also need to be taught some pre reading skills that will help to bring their reading alive and more exciting for them. 

Reading Comprehension does not come easy for some students. Dare I say it is because we wait too late to teach reading comprehension. Steps for teaching reading comprehension can begin long before a student learns to read.
