About 40% of students will learn to read no matter what. That’s part of why the whole-language approach often looks like it works. But research shows that the children who struggle will continue to struggle unless they’re taught to read. https://t.co/pL17Vnmt7k

Are you a “positive adult” in some kids life?

Having a trusted adult can make all the difference. https://t.co/AUjCw691nc

Send a text, make a call, be that “person” for a teen in your life

And who was your “person” for you? Have you told them what they meant to you? ❤️

As a teacher, and a parent of a struggling reader, I’m always alarmed by educators who are quick to dismiss the wisdom of parents. Sure, they can get things wrong, and their feedback can be uncomfortable, but they also offer invaluable insight if I’m brave enough to listen.

[The Right to Read @RightToReadFilm]

Do bilingual students also benefit from comprehensive, explicit, and systematic reading instruction? Absolutely yes.

Grateful we got to be a part of this important conversation and for the literacy advocates in Chicago who made it happen.

@DallasIDA Me. My grandfather. My mom. My dad. My brother. My cousin. My daughter.

Why do schools never ask about family history when looking for #dyslexia? This one simple question can catch struggling readers early.

The post-pandemic gloating and defensiveness are consuming a ton of energy and fanning culture wars.

@ProfEmilyOster thinks pandemic amnesty makes sense, so we can productively move on.

I have a lot of sympathy with that idea.
