Words Their Way

We are using 95% Phonics Intervention. Most of our students are EL, but the program is not used because they are EL. It's used because our scores are so low and a gap in phonics was obvious. We are only in our 2nd year of using it. Last year, we used it for pretty much any student who showed a need. This year only 8-10 students per grade level are receiving the intervention. It is a good program--based in Science of Reading--but it definitely doesn't take ELs into consideration.

Clarification: We are not using it BECAUSE we have ELs. We are using it because we have students with major gaps in their reading skills. It's all related, though, isn't it?

My husband and I regularly attend (virtually lately) a church we love, however there’s not a great way for us to connect by way of a small group (We’re in our late 20s and I’d say the average age in our church is 50 so all the groups are geared towards parents with adult children, things like that). How do you find ways to connect outside of church?
