"Legislatures across the country have been passing laws requiring screening & monitoring assmts. However, when you look at the states that have such legislation, we're not seeing improvements in reading achievement." bit.ly/3JXatd5 What a timely blog! Timothy Shanahan

Great day of building reading and writing lessons with text sets to build content knowledge!

Louder for those in the back!! Most relevant and timely as always. Timothy Shanahan #scienceofreading

Sat through an initial PD from a company selling a “highly rated”series. It is the FOURTH company I have heard tell teachers that their students “won’t be able to read the texts” so “play the audio.” 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ Timothy Shanahan

Thanks @haemesmer for this amazing book that is so needed in K-5! Can’t wait to share such a practical resource with teachers!

5 buildings, 13 classrooms spanning K through 8th gr! What amazing writing growth! Your ability to support ALL learners is a testament to effective planning, data-informed instruction, high expectations, & successful differentiation. Thanks for an amazing day! North Palos SD117

"I think it’s okay to use decodable texts as part of phonics instruction, but such practice should be limited, & even beginning readers should be reading (not just listening to) more than decodable text." Please note "NOT JUST LISTENING TO" Timothy Shanahan, timely as always!

What a great opportunity to learn from Shadia Salem!
