🧵We adapted Sold a Story for @reveal. It's been airing on public radio stations this weekend. You can hear it on the Reveal podcast too. https://t.co/XlBKPjTezA 1/5

37 percent.

The assignment of the traditional weekly spelling list does the opposite of orthographic mapping.

“I became intrigued by the failures in reading after listening to a riveting six-part podcast, ‘Sold a Story,’ that argues passionately that the education establishment ignored empirical evidence and unintentionally harmed children.” https://t.co/6QVpbRLXLc

Great coaching advice: Teaching is not one-size-fits-all; it’s one-size-fits-one... before we transmit a single thing, we must tune in to the unique & ever-fluctuating frequency of every learner: [their] particular mix of temperament, skills, intelligence, & motivation @ericpliu
"For 30 years, very young children have gone to school and been told that reading is an exercise in seeking confirmation of what they already know—these children who are at the beginning of knowing anything at all." https://t.co/RKkyjREUFV
