Got to see my favorite 95% Group rep at the Dynamics of Dyslexia conference.

Balanced Lit is like buying bikes for students and assuming they will all just learn.

Structured Lit is teaching children how to ride the bikes and giving them the space to practice.

Oh, and the bikes are also what will get students everywhere they need to go. #SoR

@mattyglesias Any phonics program worth its weight will teach both decoding and encoding.

Something to think about for sure especially considering advancing the science of reading. #scienceofreading #dyslexia #literacy #LETRS

Do principals at F&P schools have a grieving process when they learn that what they are doing isn’t scientifically the best for students? #SoR. Denial?Anger?Regret?Acceptance?

It’s so much easier to look at the world in black and white.

@IMSEOG Very interested! I’ve seen some that are labeled “phonics” poems, but are not even close to being decodable.

@SKReichert @PROEcenter This is so true! Collaboration is absolutely essential in education.

@asbell_pam @proe When I first started teaching I overheard a very experienced teacher questioning what she was going to do. I thought, "What's wrong with her? I can't believe after so many years she doesn't know exactly what to do." I've definitely eaten those words a few hundred times!
