I LOVE this! It is such a powerful way to demonstrate the power of syntax—how sentence variety adds a musical quality to our written discourse. ❤️

Freddy Hiebert & colleagues published an open access article in adding to the growing evidence to support instruction using challenging text: "...appropriately scaffolded complex texts can accelerate rather than hinder foundational skill development..." https://t.co/vAQ3GxApQ4

Early warning indicators are often associated with 6-12 screening, but non-academic data are also important in K-5. Attendance, behavior, and wellness data should be reviewed alongside intervention and fidelity data to accurately interpret students' ROI and drive decision making.

A friendly reminder:

[Ohio Association for Gifted Children @OAGCGifted]

“Gifted” doesn’t mean “perfect.” It often means learning differently—faster in some ways, deeper in others, and sometimes unevenly. What’s one thing you wish you’d known at the start of your gifted journey? #GiftedEd #GiftedOnboarding

[Iowa Reading Research Center @IAReading]

Just published in Gifted Child Quarterly:
Advanced first-grade readers still benefit from (and enjoy) explicit, advanced decoding and spelling instruction—with measurable gains in fluency. https://t.co/19p87Ph0f0

@RplusDyslexia @sstollar6 In a research context, an intervention is a deliberate, systematically planned action or set of actions implemented by the researcher to influence an outcome and evaluate its effects. That is how we used the term in this study.
