#ASUGSV, in case you missed this important piece, it was the Must-Read of 2018. “In balanced literacy, phonics is treated a bit like salt on a meal: a little here and there, but not too much, because it could be bad for you.” Emily Hanford apmreports.org/story/2018/09/…

So PROUD to be part of ReadWA! Continuing the work of The Reading League and Emily Hanford New group informs educators about the science of reading, teaching methods bit.ly/2lekYjr Laura Stewart

Emily Hanford’s talk The Reading League conference is EXCELLENT (of course). She just said the KEY is understanding reading is understanding orthographic mapping!👍 #TRLConf2019

Kilpatrick: All skilled readers can sound out nonsense words. Period. #TRLConf2019

"Dyslexia is only a gift if you are not born poor." - Dr. Julie Washington

Is there such a thing as a perfect reading program? The 🔑 is teacher knowledge. “Just handing teachers materials or a program or a curriculum is not going to do the job,” says TRL’s Heidi Beverine-Curry, PhD. Read more: bit.ly/2ql2Fvn

How do you teach kids to read? What's worked for you? What do you still have questions about? Join a conversation with reading experts and teachers hosted on The Seattle Times. You can find resources and hear about other people's experiences. st.news/2E5KxZI

I am also honored to be part of this discussion!

And math! Average grad rate for 4-year degree (NCES) is 60% in 6 years. Major risk factor for not finishing: taking remedial math. Koon’s (2019) excellent study showing access to rigorous course sequences in HS is not sufficient. Children have to have the skills to benefit.

Targeting student motivation or ways to help students organize their work & work harder, is not the right solution & will only worsen gaps. Making sure ALL have access to science-backed core instruction in reading, writing, & math (& making sure all students grow) is key.

Great paper from Amanda VanDerHeyden & Matthew Burns: “Four Screening Myths that Cause More Harm than Good in Preventing Reading Failure & What You Can Do Instead” “MYTH 1: More Screening Can Only Improve Correct Identification of Students With Dyslexia” Looking at you, #OklaEd #OklaLeg.
