    Good Morning Anna!
    Very informative podcast with Dr. Hasbrouck on fluency & automaticity. I appreciate all your diligence in researching the process of reading and best practices. I am currently participating in your Teaching Every Reader course and then will complete the Teaching Every Writer. It can be tricky making time for all the opportunities to increase my understanding and practices when facilitating the learning of my kindergartners.
    My question or inquiry: It is more of a question of “How” not “Why”. I know my “Why” and it is what drives me to acquire all the information I can to provide best practices to my students. The students in my classroom, as around the world, are our children of COVID. They have not been to pre-school (many or them), limited experiences in life outside of their homes, limited knowledge of the expectations for behavior in school or various situations, and much TRAUMA. The interruptions from the life experiences described, after 56 days of school, I continue to try to work through simply getting the kiddos to a point of being receptive to learning. I forgot to include an additional significant influencer for the loss of time to teach. The lack of language skills and speech/communication skills infiltrated by the lack of focus due to endless time spent on electronic devises.
    The interruptions/decisions/strategies to work through outbursts often leaves me cause to look at what I can possibly fit in to make an impact on the learning of my 22 children in class. I struggle with “How” do I instill the importance of simply attending school to the parents of students who miss school so often that retention is more than likely necessary. I venture to say this is not a problem unique to my classroom or me.
    I value your input and opinion. Just feeling quite melancholy on this brisk November morning as I plug away learning myself. I can see the blue sky and the sun though!

      Traci, you are echoing the feelings of so many teachers! Teaching has always been challenging, but teaching students who had to endure pandemic restrictions is so much harder. Bless you for your work! I do not have much experience in this area, but I would check out the work of Dr. Steven Dykstra, who is a psychologist who specializes in helping students who have experienced trauma. He is based in Milwaukee, I believe. Let me know if you can’t find him online!

    Hello Anna
    Thank you for this excellent podcast with Dr Hasbrouck. So much experience!!
    Anna, I would like to ask you if I may , if you can broach on the subject of Hyperlexia III and autism.
    Some children can teach themselves how to read and recognize numbers as early as 2 years of age. Unfortunately they can lag behind in comprehension.
    Their is a Facebook Group called Hyperlexia III – gifted children with social issues. Perhaps you can take a look.
    Thank you for reading my email. Thank you for your work. God bless you .
    Jo

      Thank you for your comment, Jo! I haven’t done much look into hyperlexia yet – mostly because my study time is full to the brim with other topics. But I thank you for this, and when I have more time I’d love to learn more about it!
