I have updated my science of reading resources. I included Literacy for All because I wanted to read Marilyn Jager Adams' take on MSV. Very interesting. #scienceofreading
I haven’t tweeted in a while. It’s nice to post insightful reading research and gain many likes. But I’ve found that preaching to the choir doesn’t always gain results. I’ve been working with students and parents instead of tweeting, and I find that equally rewarding. 🙂
Transforming education needs to include a discussion about flexible pacing guides & grade-level expectations. We are expecting kids to learn on our timetable, and we are leaving kids behind just because they need more practice and repetition to obtain mastery. Shame on us.

Doing the work of SoR. Since staring my business, The Literacy Foundation, I have been so focused on the needs of the students and parents that I have been off social media. Well, here’s a funny picture of our puppy, Sara. This is where she sits while I’m tutoring online.
I’m so glad @GaDOEELA is getting on board with the SOR. I predicted this a year ago, and my observation was received by some and rejected by others. Anywho, Dr. Shanahan’s repost is not about SOR but about equitable rdg instruction we should know. https://t.co/HTonYACYhU
Some Americans must seem ignorant to the rest of the world when they see fighting at school board mtgs about issues that are obviously misunderstand. Adults must learn to read complex text and think critically about what they have read instead of being led by fear and emotions.
