I'm seeing a lot of response to Sold a Story and to my work more generally. And I'm seeing something inaccurate being said. It's being said by people who are defending themselves. It's also being said by people who are promoting better instruction based on scientific research. 🧵

You: SOR is not just phonics, I get it. But where do I start with comprehension? Esp early grades?
Me: Did you know Susan Neuman at NYU has been working on this issue for YEARS?
You: Where can I read a quick intro?

Providing reading instruction to students based on "levels" is problematic. It may be preventing students from making optimal progress. Please join us for this webinar from @shanhanonliteracy to learn what research says is a BETTER alternative! https://t.co/r5MARZ8PgP

@principalhuff @NASA What were they thinking 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Nell K. Duke @nellkduke]

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%.

1/2 K - 3: If you agree with the statement below, a next step is to ask yourself: Do we devote a significant amount of time to science & social studies instruction every day (e.g., an average of 45 mins/day EACH & led by Sc & SS, not ELA)? @ClassroomWonder https://t.co/inaDvW15Ig

Thanks to IN Republicans, Hoosier women are now lesser human beings than we were yesterday. We have lost the right to self-determination, to autonomy, to the futures we want to build for ourselves. It’s an outrage and an imposition on freedom, equality & the values of democracy.

[Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D. @janhasbrouck]

If "knowing EXACTLY where your students are" means knowing what "level" they are reading, that is most certainly NOT "best practice". Instead, we must know where our students are in their development of foundational skills and language. Do not ignore the science.

"Your own polling shows that only 17% of Hoosiers supported this bill...this extreme government overreach that takes away women's freedom...are you saying the only job a woman has is to procreate?" -@SenFadyQaddoura

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

Gonna keep making this point: At this point, gas isn't expensive by historical standards. Adjusting for average wages, it's high relative to the late 2010s, when money-losing fracking was all the rage. But it's normal in longer perspective

I’m excited to share a project that I’ve been working on for the past few months. It’s about what it really takes for schools to make shifts in instructional practice—and why it’s so hard to change systems that have been in place for decades 1/7
