If CA is serious about grounding literacy reform in scientifically validated instruction, then Direct Instruction mustn’t merely be eligible-it must be central. It is not just aligned w/ the SOR. It IS Ithe science of reading.
The reading wars are ending. Phonics won. https://t.co/FnS18nUp2P

Let’s not reinvent the wheel — it’s been rolling strong for 60 years. Direct Instruction works. Always has.
Yet schools keep chasing trends while kids fall behind.
Mary Eisele reminds us: we don’t need a new fix — just trust what’s been fixing it all along.

@MrZachG Well, it should be consistent. Rosenshine observed Engelmann's work and used it as the basis for his points of effective teaching. Rosenshine didn't invent anything.
