Ears to You!
‘Ears To You! is an auditory, multi-sensory, teacher-friendly phonological awareness development program. It is for use with children from pre-kindergarten through early first grade. ‘Ears To You! is a readily usable program that is sequenced according to the stages of pre-reading. Sound awareness manipulation and the use of these sounds assist in the developmental early stages of encoding and decoding with the use of paper or pencil.
Developed by speech/language pathologists, ‘Ears To You! provides a complimentary program for skills assessed in the growing use of the Dynamic Indicator of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS), screening instrument. Skills that are determined to be “At Risk” and in need of “Additional or Strategic Intervention” can be easily located and reviewed in ten minute increments, three to four times weekly.

Overview:
A Different Approach to Discipline
In today’s middle school and high school environments, a maelstrom of problems such as bullying, cheating, stealing, harassment, truancy, vandalism, drug use, and chronic rudeness result in countless detentions, suspensions, and expulsions. The non-stop disruptions steal hours of instructional time.
Teachers are often at a loss as to how to address these behavior issues beyond the typical admonition or ejection from the class.
The School DayZ approach is a way to address behavior situations through vignettes that, though fictional, are just like real school life.
-
•Through the metaphor of a story, teachers gain more skill at mediating events, and students are drawn into meaningful encounters with the issues of their everyday school lives.
-
•Kids grapple with problems, stretching their minds to offer solutions.
-
•They examine the emotions, social issues, and values that form the backdrop of the stories.
-
•As they do this, they practice a host of literacy skills—many of them in cooperation with classmates.
-
•And at the same time, they begin to understand the roots of their behavior and make positive changes based on this understanding.
-
•Other things change for the better as a part of this cooperative venture: self-esteem, pride, understanding, compassion, voice, power, and a sense of belonging to a community.
