Have you read our latest blog post on 5 Reasons Every K-3 Classroom Needs Decoables? We highlight the crucial role decodable texts play in early literacy. We also share how our new collection is crafted with the science of reading in mind to support your teachers in building strong, confident readers. https://lnkd.in/gThZvDHP

Striving readers are readers who are performing below grade level and need extra support in reading instruction. Brain imaging research reveals that striving readers exhibit fewer reading related brain circuits. Join us today in the Science of Reading Academy to learn all about how the brain learns to read and how you can implement the Science of Reading research in your classroom.

Today, I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I share something that has been a lifelong dream of mine— Laprea Education has officially donated over 206,000 books to the incredible organization Books For Africa. These books will soon be in the hands of thousands of children in Zimbabwe and Kenya, bringing the joy of reading and the power of education to communities that need it most. As a teacher for over 23 years, I have always believed in the transformative power of literacy. When I founded Laprea Education, my dream was to make an even bigger impact, not just in my classroom, but across the world. Today, that dream has come true! Knowing that these books will ignite a love of reading in so many children fills my heart in ways words cannot describe. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, to dream, and to explore the world through the pages of a book. This donation is just the beginning of what I hope will be a continued effort to spread the gift of reading far and wide. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, my company, and this mission along the way. Together, we are making the world a better place—one book at a time. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all of our team members at Laprea Education for helping me to achieve this lifelong goal! I couldn't have done it without each and every one of you helping our company grow and creating incredible books and learning resources for teachers and children across the world! ❤️ Anna DiGilio - Founder and CEO of Laprea Education 📚❤️ #BooksForAfrica #LapreaEducation #LiteracyForAll #DreamsFulfilled #BooksChangeLives www.booksforafrica.org

🌟 Honored and Grateful! 🌟 I had the incredible opportunity to be a guest speaker at Harvard University for Dr. Angela Jackson‘s course on Entrepreneurship in Education. It was truly an honor to speak with aspiring entrepreneurs who are passionate about making a meaningful impact in education. At Laprea Education, we are dedicated to transforming the way children learn to read, and it was inspiring to connect with others who share a commitment to driving change in this field. I enjoyed sharing my journey, lessons learned, and insights on navigating the path from concept to impact. Grateful for the chance to engage with the next generation of change-makers in education! #Entrepreneurship #EducationInnovation #HarvardGraduateSchoolOfEducation #MakingAnImpact #Leadership #LapreaEducation #Edtech #Harvard

Teachers, here are some tips and tricks on making your sound wall fun and engaging in class! Watch the full-length video on YouTube about sound walls and how you can include them in your classroom instruction! #literacy #elementaryeducation #structuredliteracy #scienceofreading #sor #decodablebooks

“How is a sound wall different from a word wall?” Great question! Sound walls focus on sounds and their spellings. They help kids with decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling) by showing the relationship between sounds and letters. You’ll see pictures on sound walls of mouth positions to show how each sound is made, and you’ll see the different ways each sound can be spelled. Word walls, on the other hand, are all about recognizing and remembering words, especially those tricky sight words that don’t follow regular phonetic patterns. They’re a reference for spelling and writing, and for building vocabulary by displaying words alphabetically or thematically. In a nutshell, sound walls = sounds and spellings, while word walls = words and vocabulary. In a classroom whose teacher is well-versed in the science behind literacy instruction, it is not uncommon to see sound walls in use. Get your hands on the best sound wall for literacy instruction at the link below or visit the link in our bio! https://lnkd.in/eRrZgnPP

Whether your school has adopted a science-of-reading aligned reading curriculum or not, the research is clear on this; sound walls support literacy instruction. They can make a huge difference in your classroom, but choosing the right sound wall and incorporating it into your instruction isn’t as simple as printing and stapling.
