@spencerideas SOR suffers from story > nuance and absolute oversimplifications. Reading science is complex, not simple and settled. And day-to-day teaching should be child-centered. Not prescriptions or one-size-fits-all regardless of grade level

“Research for decades has shown that systematic phonics instruction can raise those [early grade] scores, especially for young students, but that increase in pronunciation is not correlated with comprehension and that advantage disappears by middle school.”@ncte_lla

“at the earlier grades, testing tends to reflect reductive versions of skills…many states test pronunciation of nonsense words (thus, there is no meaning or comprehension) and call that “reading.”” @ncte_lla

Please read - share with elected officials claiming to be experts in teaching reading, mandating ‘simple’ fixes. Feed children. Buy them books. Trust teachers. @ncte_lla

Once again

Anecdotes =/= science

Anecdotes prove nothing

Personal stories matter but are not generalizable and cannot ascribe causation to problem or solution experienced
