The Science of Reading and the Media: Does the Media Draw on High-Quality Reading Research? https://t.co/Xp2IP3evUy

[Jessica Cohen, Ph.D. @JessicaCohen411]

@NarelleLyn Yes, and with so much focus on phonics, we spend less time on authentic learning activities to support oral language development.

PSA: A text is not inherently "decodable." Decodability is a property of the text ⭐️in relation to the reader⭐️. So, e.g., for a child who has learned the alphabet, sh, and "for," the page below is 100% decodable, but for a child who has only learned the alphabet, it's only 40%.

@HenryFordNews @Local4News Thank you. Jenny has already made contact. The issue continues to be not expediting or even completing necessary steps to ensure treatment. Looking forward to seeing this resolved for Jenny.

So happy that ALL teachers were included in this wonderful professional leaning opportunity! #InclusiveEducation #CurriculumAlignment

Yes! When adult support is intentional, student independence and agency are the focus. #InclusiveEducation

✳️ Paraprofessionals are excellent sources of support. This support should be planned to include the minimum help needed and never assigned to a single student (shadow). #LeadInclusion #spedchat #globaled #edleaders #edchat #udl #udlchat

[Lee Ann Jung, PhD @leeannjung]

No grade can ever communicate fully a student’s profile. As the year closes, how will you communicate to each student their individual strengths and what you are grateful for in each of them? #LeadInclusion

I’m hearing from many parents about how teachers are performing heroically in difficult and scary times to provide comfort, humor, empathy, and instruction. Teachers are always superheroes. Now they seem to have even another gear of awesomeness. They are the best of #WhatUnitesUs
