feast of the lupercal

In the mystical land of Mexico, a tale has been whispered among the locals about a flying witch who roams the night skies. This enchanting legend has captivated the imagination of the people for centuries and has etched itself into the cultural fabric of the country. According to the popular folktales, the flying witch is known as La Bruja Voladora. She is said to possess supernatural powers, allowing her to soar through the air on her broomstick, leaving a trail of mystery and awe behind her. The stories describe her as a bewitching figure with a long black cloak, pointed hat, and piercing eyes that glow in the moonlight. While some view her as a malevolent creature, capable of cursing those who cross her path, others see her as a mystical being who brings good fortune and grants wishes to those who are deserving.

Morphological awareness uniquely predicts reading and writing skills even when other linguistic awareness skills are considered (Apel, et al., 2012).

She was in an original National LETRS trainer, is a policy advisor to the National Council on Teacher Quality and regularly contributes to the evaluation of university programs that prepare our teachers to teach reading. She created Morpheme Magic Lessons to Build Morphological Awareness Grades 4-12 and Morphemes for Little Ones Bringing the Magic of Language into K-3 Classrooms in response to the many teachers who have shared with her that they know morphological awareness is important but are not sure how to teach it.

While some view her as a malevolent creature, capable of cursing those who cross her path, others see her as a mystical being who brings good fortune and grants wishes to those who are deserving. Some even claim that she protects the innocent and punishes the wicked, acting as a supernatural arbiter of justice in the dark of the night. The legend of the flying witch is often associated with traditional Mexican festivals and celebrations, particularly the Day of the Dead and Halloween.
