These kindergartners are working so hard! We are so impressed with them finding words they like out of their November poem and then writing them independently!! @WESchools @PhonicsInMotion

[Phonics in Motion @PhonicsInMotion]

No child should suffer in silence or suffer at all, for fear of speaking truth to power. No child should have to be so brave so soon, for fear of what not telling the truth means: that this child will not learn how to read unless he or she says something. Save this child.

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

"My child looked at me and she was really nervous and anxious, and she just says, 'I can’t read.' She knew. They know. The kids know first. The parents know second. The teacher chimes in third. And then the hunt is on for help."
Final episode tomorrow.

@LongfellowElem3 Kindergarten teachers asked me to help with their Halloween costumes this year. Thanks to our #rolandvinylcutter, I was able to recreate the Reading and Writing monster from @PhonicsInMotion. Aren’t they cute? @wefabmobile @WESchools @mrslegerski #makerspace

@karsextavis @ehanford A message this important to the life of the mind is too urgent to ignore. A message this important to the virtue of lifelong learning is too crucial to deny. A message this important to society is too vital to dismiss, because we cannot have liberty unless we promote literacy.

[Phonics in Motion @PhonicsInMotion]

We have a right to be angry, just as we have a responsibility to be constructive in our anger. Let us therefore resolve to achieve a noble and necessary goal: literacy. We have it within our power to do just that, so every child has what no person should be without: opportunity.

I’m both mesmerized and enraged by ⁦Emily Hanford’s new podcast. Thank you ⁦@ehanford⁩ for continuing to shed light on the truth of reading instruction! EVERYone deserves to know how to read. #untileverychildreads #sor https://t.co/j5F5biSDz7

Happy weekend everyone.
If you've listened to Sold a Story and want to dig deeper into the "science of reading," I put together a suggested reading list.
Episode 4 is coming Thursday.

The new Lucy Calkins Units of Study for Teaching Reading are out.
"While the materials have undergone large-scale changes, reading researchers and educators who have reviewed excerpts offer mixed reviews on their potential to shift classroom instruction."

I was in a podcast with my amazing kid and now Lulu Miller is tweeting about it. Radiolab changed my life so this is a big deal to me. Thanks for listening @lmillernpr !

@D_dot_Daw @missypurcell1 @ehanford deserves maximum recognition for her reportage and commentary. She speaks on behalf of a cause that concerns the state of learning in America. She speaks to an issue that concerns how our fellow Americans learn. She speaks for those Americans who want and need to learn.

[Phonics in Motion @PhonicsInMotion]

@ehanford Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again. The truth is rising now; the truth is marching on. The moral of your work is in the morale your work gives us. A system that deprives the needy must change. A system that denies the need for change cannot stand. Change will come.

[Phonics in Motion @PhonicsInMotion]

@NickieSimonetti Your opinion matters. You speak from experience, with experience few can match and none can buy, because you speak as a teacher. You speak to educate the public about an issue of national importance, so children may learn and teachers may have the resources to make learning fun.

[Phonics in Motion @PhonicsInMotion]

@NickieSimonetti Engagement is the catalyst for education. Or, the science of reading starts with the art of teaching. The art requires practice and a commitment to excellence. The art requires patience, just as the artist—the teacher—must exude patience. The reward is in seeing children learn.

[Emily Oster @ProfEmilyOster]

This podcast is an absolute must listen

[Phonics in Motion @PhonicsInMotion]

@ehanford Your gratitude is sincere and self-evident. The same is true for the work you do, given the complexity of learning about learning and the challenges in explaining how children learn. You are a communicator who makes the abstract accessible. You inspire us to achieve excellence.

[Phonics in Motion @PhonicsInMotion]

@CLPeak @ehanford Christopher, these episodes represent the gathering and sorting of facts, and of the translation of facts, resulting in answers to questions that concern the state of teaching and learning in America. The answers concern the fate of America and the lives of our fellow Americans.

[Phonics in Motion @PhonicsInMotion]

@TishaRajendra The need is real, the reality clear, the remedy urgent. We cannot have liberty if we do not have literacy. We cannot know the value of anything if we do not know how invaluable reading is. We cannot know what it means to know something if we do not know how to communicate.

[Phonics in Motion @PhonicsInMotion]

@mandercorn To teach is to communicate, because the essentialness of any subject—from music to math, to physics to poetry, to chemistry to English composition—depends on the ability to make the abstract accessible. Reading is the basis of literacy, and literacy the foundation of learning.

To my amazing classroom partners past and present and all the other wonderful Early Childhood Educators out there - Happy ECE Appreciation Day! 💕

[Phonics in Motion @PhonicsInMotion]

@thismomloves Three words about a group of professionals, in honor of a group whose professionalism is essential to the cause of literacy and freedom. Early childhood educators have the power to make an impression, a lasting one, thus inspiring a love of learning. Happy ECE Appreciation Day!
