Confession time.
When I first started teaching, I had the worst time teaching reading and writing. NOTHING prepared me for the complex, way over my head, systems of reading. It seemed like there were so many parts and each part held all the other parts up.
It was hard, but as the years have gone on I have picked up some tools for my toolbox along the way. I first got word of syllable types a few summers ago in an hour long training at a three day conference. This past summer I went through some extensive dyslexia training and came back to it. It rocked my world.
