Season's Greetings!

Our November/December Constructivist Teaching by Heart newsletter is devoted to our work of developing capable and motivated readers and writers.

You'll find some powerful teacher resources for phonics, fluency, and comprehension at the word and connected text level + preview a must-read children's book!

Thanks for reading! Wishing you a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. See you in January,
