@karenvaites @Doug_Lemov You’re right that reading volume needs to take back a prominent role in curriculum.

@karenvaites @alexanderrusso Certain elements of balanced literacy should remain in place, yet altered or revised slightly in the science of reading. Definitely not wing nuts!

@rpondiscio @AbbyTeachesDSM There’s nothing better you can do to boost a child’s self image.

[Jeff M Chanin @ChaninJeff]

@tetheredtoed1 @AbbyTeachesDSM Too much phonics is a considerable problem, if it completely replaced actual reading activity. A correct balance can be reached.

@rpondiscio @Jordan_C_Adams Sometimes the best teaching doesn’t yield immediate results. For example spending a lot of time on vocabulary might not payoff in the short term, but good teachers see the bigger picture. Merit pay will just increase teaching to the test.

@margaretmckeow2 I agree!

[Jeff M Chanin @ChaninJeff]

@DTWillingham @PCSnow1604 If the evidence is so clear, why haven’t scores gone up?

[Jeff M Chanin @ChaninJeff]

@ehanford @LianaLoewus Volume of reading needs to be part of a students’ instructional diet, in addition to explicit phonics instruction.

@smorrisey @margaretmckeow2 I enjoyed your reading league presentation yesterday! I wanted to ask you about wide reading also.

[Jeff M Chanin @ChaninJeff]

@MrZachG Direct instruction is useful in a literacy program for teaching structure language (phonological awareness, phonics, orthography, morphology, syntax); students also need guided instruction with complex texts; and opportunities to read widely and deeply in content areas

[Jeff M Chanin @ChaninJeff]

@natwexler @The74 Kids need both surface level decoding and literal comprehension skills as well as deep and critical thinking skills.

[Jeff M Chanin @ChaninJeff]

@DTWillingham An ideal classroom setting would include both ideas from romanticism and enlightenment ideas. Kids need to both read widely and deeply at the current levels and also grapple with complex texts.

@ReadingForum_Ed @BenisonMrs I’m just curious. What makes ufli a good program? There’s a lot of buzz around it.

[Jeff M Chanin @ChaninJeff]

@NateJoseph19 Hopefully we’ll get a chance to discuss, I’m looking forward to becoming better at interpreting the research

[Jeff M Chanin @ChaninJeff]

@NateJoseph19 Sounds good. Looking forward to your book!

@markseidenberg The article doesn’t offer any real solutions other than teach OG.

[Jeff M Chanin @ChaninJeff]

@ehanford @NewYorker This article is well written, but the solution is too simplistic. Every school adopting OG will not solve the reading crisis.
