Reading Elephant

Phonics books that systematically help struggling k-1 students learn how to read. Decodable books. Thanks for following!

[Reading Elephant @PhonicsBooks]

Systematic phonics instruction gives kids independence— it allows them to decode words they’ve never before seen in print, to pick up any book and break the written code in solitude. Nothing gives a child greater agency over his/her own education.

@ehanford I was taught by John Shefelbine that every single reading lesson should be an assessment.

A meta-analysis of teachers who only got training found that only 5% put newly learned strategies into practice.

“However, coaching and on-the-job training after initial teaching sessions ensured that 95% of teachers used the newly learnt techniques.” https://t.co/3xlSXz53KK

Parenthood has caused my perspective on homework to shift DRAMATICALLY lol

Like, y’all had 8 hours w my kid. Y’all couldn’t fit all the work in there?? I only got 3ish hours between home and bedtime. That’s OUR time. You’ll see them tomorrow 😆

@BalbontinLab @jonatanpallesen Yeah there’s also studies that say the more complicated and expensive the placebo the better it works (like some sham surgeries for example have a greater effect than a sugar pill) … what about these studies?
