Lively Letters

The Lively Letters™ program addresses multiple targets, simultaneously training students in the critical skills of: phonemic awareness, phonics, and speech production. Lively Letters™ is a research-based and clinically-proven, multi-sensory reading program that turns plain, abstract letters and sounds into lively characters. Created by Nancy Telian, MS, CCC-SLP, forty-seven letters and letter combinations are embedded into colorful pictures that show students what to do with their mouths when making the letter sounds.  For nearly 30 years, educators have relied on Lively Letters to accelerate reading achievement and close gaps for struggling readers.  The oral kinesthetic (mouth cues) feature of the Lively Letters™ Program helps set it apart from other multi-sensory programs, as students are taught what to do with their mouths in order to produce the sounds. This program is for Parents and Educators Preschool through 3rd Grade. (2 Hours) $37

Planning with Intentionality for DEIB

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) are important components of the educational planning, teaching, and learning process.  It is not enough to just talk about diversity. Educators need to create an environment where all students feel welcomed, respected, valued, and supported. The work of DEIB begins first with reflecting on who we are as the educator.  With intention, we can then plan and develop DEIB learning experiences for our students, which have been shown to increase both student empathy and awareness of the "pluralistic world in which we live."
