Phonological = BIG umbrella (rhymes, syllables, phonemes, alliteration) Phonemic = ONE piece (individual sounds only) A teacher said they're the same. They're not! This distinction matters for targeted reading instruction. #LiteracyisLiberation #LetsGetLit
A decodable book matches what a child has already learned. If your child just learned /sh/ and /ch/, a book filled with shut, chip, & chat let's them shine! Get your decodables today at dkcbooks.com #LetsGetLit #LiteracyIsLiberation
Parents everywhere ask the same 5 questions about reading: 📖 Is my child on track? 📖 How do I help? 📖 Will they enjoy it? 📖 How early should I start? 📖 Is school + home enough? At DREAMS KC, we’re here to help! What’s your #1 reading question? #LetsGetLit
Kids in low-income zip codes aren't struggling to read because they’re incapable. They’re under-resourced. It’s time we stop blaming the children and start questioning the systems. 💬 What questions should we be asking? #LetsGetLit #DREAMSKC #LiteracyIsLiberation
Sounding out “c-a-t”? That’s not a setback — it’s step one toward superhero status. Decoding is how kids learn to read. Support the process. 💥 What word did your child decode this week? #LetsGetLit #DREAMSKC #LiteracyIsLiberation
Two 1st graders + one pre-K kiddo. They picked books some decodable books from my bag & started reading right away! That’s DREAMS KC: building a literate city, one child at a time. 👉 dkcbooks.com #LetsGetLit #LiteracyIsLiberation
Literacy is the #1 civil right of the 21st century. Without it, every door is closed. Every dream is delayed. Let’s get loud about it. #LetsGetLit #DREAMSKC #LiteracyIsLiberation
Structured Literacy = smart, supportive teaching. Not scary. Not rigid. Just effective. Every child deserves this. Every parent should ask for it. Got questions? Ask away. #LetsGetLit #DREAMSKC #LiteracyIsLiberation
Some kids finish kindergarten already a year behind in reading. And yet we wait until 3rd grade to intervene? That’s not support. That’s delay. What’s something you wish schools did sooner when it comes to reading? #LetsGetLit #DREAMSKC #LiteracyIsLiberation
Reading is not a vibe. It’s not a mood. Not a feeling. It’s a skill—and all skills take time, practice, and guidance. What’s helped your reader push through when it’s tough? #LetsGetLit #DREAMSKC #LiteracyIsLiberation
Let’s address the elephant in the room: Kids can’t read—not because they’re lazy or slow. They haven’t been taught how. Parents: Ask what curriculum your school uses. Ask about teacher training. Structured Literacy is the standard. #LetsGetLit #DREAMSKC #LiteracyIsLiberation
Your child sounds robotic when reading? That’s decoding in action—not a problem. Let fluency come with practice. #LetsGetLit #DREAMSKC #LiteracyIsLiberation
Sight words shouldn’t be memorized like phone numbers. They should be mapped—sound by sound, letter by letter. That’s how the brain learns to read. What’s your biggest challenge with sight words? #LetsGetLit #DREAMSKC #LiteracyIsLiberation
Thanks to all the families who registered and showed up to engage with me and hear Kylah Meets the Bees read aloud to the kiddos! #LiteracyIsLiberation #LetsGetLit #MCPL
