This is our March 2025 exclusive bonus episode of Reading Teachers Lounge podcast.  In these bonus episodes, Shannon and Mary will share about the students they're helping in reading, the resources they're using, and the books and other materials they're studying to further their practical knowledge about the Science of Reading.  

In this episode, Shannon and Mary provide details about their tutoring students of various ages and how they're using different curriculum resources with their readers.    Shannon describes how she's using some Conquering Spelling Demons cards that she purchased from VanCleave's website. She also shares how she's combining the practice of Structured Word Inquiry with Morpheme Magic curriculum resources.   Mary talks about how she uses fluency phrases from FCRR with her students and also describes some idioms activities.   Both Shannon and Mary are enjoying the use of new resources they got from Mrs. Wordsmith and The Fidget Game, such as the Squishy Land, King Komodo, and Blah, Blah, Blah games.
