📚 Investing in Our Readers! 📚
This week, three of our elementary reading specialists had the incredible opportunity to learn directly from Dr. Anita Archer — one of the most respected voices in education and the author of Phonics for Reading.
Tonya Swan-Flachs (Barryton Elementary), Laura Wauldron (Weidman Elementary), and Lisa Dore (Mecosta Elementary) attended Dr. Archer’s training to gain expert strategies to bring the Phonics for Reading program to life in our classrooms. This research-based approach will help our young readers build confidence, fluency, and a lifelong love of reading.
We’re excited for these dedicated teachers to bring their new skills back to our schools — and so grateful for their commitment to helping every Warrior shine as a reader! ❤️💙
