"Louisiana is the only state that has surpassed its pre-pandemic reading results on the Nation’s Report Card in 4th grade. It’s been a leader for more than a decade in putting well reviewed curriculum in schools."

When Giftedness is Misdiagnosed as a Behavior Problem - Raising Lifelong Learners https://t.co/FVutiQYcqc

[Melissa & Lori Love Literacy Podcast @literacypodcast]

👂 You heard that right... for reading fluency, AVERAGE is GOOD!

Students who read above average on ORF are likely reading TOO FAST to make sense of what they are reading.

“The research is very clear. Someone who is struggling with reading, if we can intervene by the end of Grade 1, there's like an 80 per cent chance that we can make them a typical reader. But if we wait just to Grade 2, that drops to 50 per cent.” https://t.co/lljv2Z1uN3

Should we grade students on the individual reading standards?

[Dr. Josh Kunnath @JoshKunnath]

Grading w/ zeros is problematic because they are most often used to address behavior, not learning.

Missing assignments or tests doesn't mean zero learning.

Like the famous astronomer Carl Sagan once reminded us, "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."

The @reading_league is quietly preparing a series of “Curriculum Navigation Reports" -- reviews and evaluations of the most widely adopted and implemented reading programs, and will likely have instant credibility among teachers and administrators.
