Programs that qualify working for AL students are linked here by age group. If they aren't here, they are not approved. It's that simple. When someone presents you with false info about reading programs for AL students, PUSH BACK with the FACTS. https://t.co/w240nBgm9g

EDUCATORS sales reps are being less than honest about their programs qualifying under AL law.

In a series of high-profile moves, educators, policymakers and parents have begun turning away from Lucy Calkins' materials. Now, Calkins' group at Columbia is signaling a shift in thinking about how their work aligns with scientific research on reading. https://t.co/vH6e1VabWb

[Christopher Peak @CLPeak]

An internal document from the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project says aspects of the balanced literacy approach it uses to train teachers need “rebalancing.” https://t.co/rVXgGchNYz

And there’s a new podcast episode. https://t.co/TB3ApLkNy7

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

In my years of reporting on reading, I haven’t met a teacher who didn’t want her/his students to be good readers. But I’ve met a lot of who didn’t know what cognitive scientists have figured out abt how reading comprehension works. Listen @EducatePodcast https://t.co/X747Gppmib

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

I've spent the better part of the past 3.5 yrs reporting on how children are taught to read and what scientists have figured out about how children learn -- and the shocking disconnect.
In this presentation, I tell the story of what I've learned. https://t.co/vuannz9dPA

In September 2016, a class-action lawsuit was filed on behalf of students in Detroit. The lawsuit sought to establish literacy as a right protected by the US Consitution - the first federal civil rights lawsuit in history to try to secure access to literacy as a right. THREAD
