She said, let me work with those students that struggle the most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning, only four students were in the \u201cgreen\u201d and reading at grade level. Now, 20 students have reached this benchmark. And a few are at a second-grade reading level.<\/p>\n<p>One student that Her taught went from reading just four words to reading 144.<\/p>\n<p>The few still struggling to reach grade level are dealing with outside issues, such as behavioral problems, chronic absenteeism, or a learning disability, Bustos said.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Learning Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>So, what are some of the techniques that are enabling students to read at grade level?<\/p>\n<p><strong> \u201cThey\u2019re sitting for a long time, so it gets them moving. And it allows them to visually see (the sounds). So, when I say the word \u2018has\u2019 we\u2019ll say \u2018ha, as, has,\u2019 You know each tap that you make stands for a sound. And when you do this, you\u2019re putting it together.\u201d<\/strong> <em>\u2014 Fresno Unified Superintendent Misty Her<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>First, the superintendent introduces a new sound such as \u201cst.\u201d The students repeat the sound multiple times, adjusting to the new mouth movement.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Her places letters alongside the new sound, creating a word. On that day, \u201cst\u201d becomes \u201clist\u201d and \u201cfast\u201d and \u201cchest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here comes the fun part, students focus on blending those sounds together to properly pronounce the word. Her aids the students in this endeavor, clearly pronouncing each sound.<\/p>\n<p>As a helpful trick, she also has the students stick out an arm which they can pat down as a new sound arises. The movement helps combine visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re sitting for a long time, so it gets them moving. And it allows them to visually see (the sounds). So, when I say the word \u2018has\u2019 we\u2019ll say \u2018ha, ah, s, has,\u2019\u201d Her said, tapping her arm with each new sound. \u201cYou know each tap that you make stands for a sound. And when you do this, you\u2019re putting it together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The students take those sounds and transfer them into writing \u2014 spelling the word with a pencil, in the air, or even in sand. As the students\u2019 spell, they continue sounding out the word, connecting the two concepts in their minds.<\/p>\n<p>Once students have that foundation, Her adds the word to a sentence. This places the word in a larger context, teaching students how to position words together to convey an idea or paint a picture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sounds and the words don\u2019t ever work in isolation. And that\u2019s why you do this sentence with them,\u201d Her explained. \u201cWe started with very simple sentences. Now, we\u2019re going into more complex sentences with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.understood.org\/en\/articles\/orton-gillingham-what-you-need-to-know\">Orton-Gillingham method<\/a>, which was specifically designed to help struggling readers through a multi-sensory approach. The district is training all teachers on how to use the method.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_249741\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-249741\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-249741\" src=\"https:\/\/gvwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bustos-Teaching_2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Image of teacher Ana Bustos in a royal blue dress holding a folder in a brightly colored classroom as a young female students looks on\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gvwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bustos-Teaching_2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gvwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bustos-Teaching_2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gvwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bustos-Teaching_2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gvwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bustos-Teaching_2-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gvwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bustos-Teaching_2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gvwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bustos-Teaching_2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-249741\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">First-grade teacher Ana Bustos in her Mayfair Elementary School classroom. (GV Wire\/Jahz Tello)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Fresno Unified Works to Improve Literacy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fresno Unified has centered operations, investments, and efforts around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fresnounified.org\/departments\/ama\/goals-and-guardrails\">four goals and guardrails<\/a>, including two goals focused on early literacy.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, the district has failed to reach state averages in English Language Arts performance. In the 2024-25 school year, about 37% of the students tested met or exceeded standards in English Language Arts. Comparatively, 49% of students in California met or exceeded standards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will be the first to say that our academic gains have been minimal. Actually, dismal to say the least,\u201d Her told the School Board early last year.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the district is aiming to have 80% of first grade students proficient in literacy \u2014 a goal Her and Bustos have already reached.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur class made it four years ahead of schedule,\u201d Bustos said. \u201cIf you can instill that culture in your team of high expectations, then you are going to get results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To aid in this endeavor, the district has established an interim goal around positioning students to read at grade level.<\/p>\n<p>Last school year, most schools were not on track to reach the interim goal.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the district created an action plan \u2014 implementing training, coaching cycles, and data reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Fresno Unified has zeroed in on literacy, because reading is essential in all subjects, including math and science.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of the math standards require students to learn how to read. And so if we can\u2019t get kids to read it\u2019s going to be really difficult when they get to math,\u201d Her explained. \u201cWe are really trying to get everyone to understand that you don\u2019t do lessons in isolation.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Monitoring is Key to Targeted Improvement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The superintendent has made a large push to identify what is working in schools, classrooms, and programs.<\/p>\n<p>That same emphasis on monitoring was brought into the Mayfair classroom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Bustos) sends me the data on a regular basis. I know exactly what my students are lacking,\u201d Her said, \u201cI\u2019m very familiar with, OK, this student last time was struggling with this. And so when I work with the student, I\u2019m going to watch for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bustos and Her look at the data together, noting improvements and gaps. This is done on an individual basis, addressing all students.<\/p>\n<p>Classrooms use multiple assessment tools, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.curriculumassociates.com\/programs\/i-ready-learning\">iReady<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/dibels.uoregon.edu\/about-dibels\">Dibles<\/a>, to track progress. Additionally, Her checks on students\u2019 work at the end of each lesson to determine their understanding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe progress monitoring is everything because when you don\u2019t do progress monitoring you don\u2019t know,\u201d Her said. \u201cWhen I come in, I know exactly what they\u2019re struggling with, and I know exactly what I need to work with them on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Close monitoring is also essential in noticing potential learning disabilities, leading to testing and identification. Early intervention is shown to be more effective, allowing students to keep pace.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bustos can continue lessons, advancing the students who are on track.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside them, an aide, who rotates between classrooms, comes in to work on specific skills with another small group.<\/p>\n<p>Small group learning has been proven to be beneficial in targeted growth, strengthening communication, and improving assessment efficiency \u2014 something crucial for those falling behind.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Teachers Collaborate to Pass Down Knowledge<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Earlier this year, Fresno Unified trustees approved an <a href=\"https:\/\/gvwire.com\/2025\/12\/18\/fresno-unified-approves-retirement-incentive-it-saves-56-million-as-573-leave-early\/\">early retirement incentive<\/a> to save money amidst the district\u2019s massive budget deficit.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>\u201cThat training is going to be really important for us next year, especially with the new group of teachers. Early learning, professional learning is going to be really critical.\u201d<\/strong> <em>\u2014 Fresno Unified Superintendent Misty Her<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>The incentive pushed 573 employees to retire early, causing many to raise concerns about losing teachers with more experience and the creation of a knowledge gap.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing those concerns, the district has worked to help new teachers learn from established teachers, such as Bustos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat training is going to be really important for us next year, especially with the new group of teachers,\u201d Her told GV Wire. \u201cEarly learning, professional learning is going to be really critical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her went through training herself \u2014 learning the Orton-Gillingham method from scratch. The superintendent credits Bustos for guiding her and allowing her to make mistakes along the way. Now, she has become an expert in the program, able to smoothly and effectively lead the small group through a lesson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat was important for me was to come and learn. This has been a really learning year,\u201d the superintendent said. \u201cWatching her, how does she do it? And then doing the program with her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, teachers constantly collaborate with their colleagues, meeting with those teaching the same grade. The team shares best practices, struggles, and constant data updates, setting high standards for one another, Bustos said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re able to create systems where, regardless of anybody retiring or leaving, the team continues the work,\u201d Bustos said. \u201cYou should continue to see results even when somebody leaves.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gvwire.com\/2026\/05\/29\/misty-her-went-into-a-fresno-unified-classroom-did-she-unlock-the-keys-to-reading\/\">Fonte do Artigo <\/a><br \/>\nSee more: https:\/\/theglobaltrack.com\/<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/corinthiames.com.br\/<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresno Unified Superintendent Misty Her believes she knows what it takes to get young students reading at grade level. \u201cAll administrators would benefit from doing what she did, which was not make decisions just from downtown through cabinet meetings with data.
