Summer is a great time for short lessons — here's how

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Happy Summer!

I don't know about you, but summer always seems to go faster than I expect.

If you've been meaning to fit in some literacy practice but haven't found a rhythm yet, there's still plenty of time.

That's exactly why I created the
​2-2-2 Summer Plan.

Instead of trying to squeeze in full lessons several days a week, the idea is to keep skills active with a routine that's realistic for busy summer schedules:

✔ 2 days a week​
​✔ 20 minutes a day​
​✔ 2 types of practice

If you'd like to learn more about how the plan works, you can read the article here:

Want everything ready to go?

If you'd rather skip the planning, I also created the 2-2-2 Summer Plan Bundle.​

For $17, you'll have the printable planning and activities ready to use, making it easy to stay consistent all summer without wondering what to teach next.

I'm also running summer pricing on my courses.

Whether you're looking for a summer routine, ready-to-use lessons, or professional learning, I hope you'll find something that makes planning a little easier.

Have a wonderful week!

What if a student knows the patterns or rules you've taught, but still stumbles during reading or when trying to use the words in context? Would you slow down and work toward automaticity with those earlier concepts, or keep moving through your scope and sequence while working on fluency along the way? I think there's room for both. I'd probably slow down a little, but I wouldn't necessarily stop moving forward. First, I'd want to know: Does the student really know the rule and apply it to...

Let’s say you’re reinforcing the FLOSS rule. Day 1 (20 minutes) Sound & Word Work Choose a small set of sounds (for example: 5 consonants and 2 short vowels) Review those sounds and connect them to letters (and keywords, if necessary!)
