We've had the privilege of designing a few meaningful early literacy programs, and one crucial lesson we've gleaned is the importance of practice with immediate feedback for building reading fluency. Fun is the special sauce that gets kids to keep on practicing. Clever Noodle's latest game, POPPED! available today, embodies this principle perfectly: Players get tons of engaging practice thru engaging, social gameplay. Use the code below for a 15% discount on your own copy. While you're checking out, consider grabbing another copy for your school or as a gift for the young readers in your life.

A few sobering stats from the "Household Food Insecurity in Canada, 2022"◽ report: ◾ 22.9% of households in Newfoundland and Labrador experienced some degree of food insecurity in the previous 12 months, amounting to 116,000 people. ◾ This is the highest rate in any of the ten provinces in Canada. ◾ 28.8% of children under 18 in Newfoundland and Labrador lived in food-insecure households.

As many of you know, Dave & I are passionate board members for Kids In The Middle (KITM) which supports families going through divorce. Today kicks off our 24 hour annual Giving 4 Kids campaign and we are asking for your support. KITM serves 2,000+ children and families through their counseling services. Today we are hoping to gain additional support for our programs. To learn more about KITM, visit the website: https://lnkd.in/gC8WQRKK. We are seeking your financial donation to provide much needed mental health services for children experiencing the trauma of divorce and separation. All donations are DOUBLED for the next 24 hours thanks to our matching donors! That means if you donate $5 it turns into $10, $100 turns into $200- you get it. No gift is too small and donations are tax-deductible. In Missouri, tax credits are 50% monetary back in the form of a MO state tax credit. This is an ALL or nothing campaign, which means that we must raise the full $100,000 by Thursday May 2 at 2pm CST. As a board, we also like to make this a challenge (of course 😊) so please indicate Team Teal when making a donation to indicate the team we represent. To make a donation: https://lnkd.in/g6ezkAcb We truly appreciate your support.
