Perfection. 💙

[Holly Lane @HollyLanePhD]

Reading aloud doesn't teach kids to love reading. It teaches them to love books, stories, learning things, the intimacy of being read to...all that is wonderful, but it's not a love of *reading*.
If you want children to love reading, you have to teach them how to do it well.

Today is Halloween, but it is also the last day of #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth. Massachusetts educators, have you looked through the @MASchoolsK12 MA Dyslexia Guidelines yet? Check out this thread for a summary of what you need to know! https://t.co/uSi8WwOqeK

[The Reading League Massachusetts @ReadingLeagueMA]

FAQ: Is dyslexia screening the same as special ed testing?
No. Screening for dyslexia risk is not the same as evaluating a student for special ed eligibility, as screening tools are designed to predict the likelihood of reading challenges. Students at risk need further eval.

We love the new @UFLiteracy Foundations! They have so many of their resources generously posted for free, but don't sleep on their new Foundational Phonics Curriculum! #sor

[Melanie Brethour @melbrethour]

For those of you are using UFLI Foundations they made a list of decodables or controlled texts to go with each lesson from several companies

We’re listening today- are you?!

This episode dives into the politics, ignorance and money behind how programs like F&P became the leading approach to teaching reading, despite research that proves otherwise.

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

Guided Reading was "everything."
"This was how, to my knowledge, everyone was teaching reading."

🧵 51/ Sold a Story, Episode 3 summary
This is exactly what Reid Lyon was worried about. People who had a stake in the cueing theory had something to do w/ Reading First falling apart.

Susan Neuman said “RR wrote us really nasty notes that we were saying bad things about them.”

[The Reading League Massachusetts @ReadingLeagueMA]

Have you listened to the first two episodes yet? We are hooked! Thank you @ehanford for bringing illiteracy to the forefront of the conversation, once again

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

We have a new episode of Sold a Story coming tomorrow (Thursday).

[The Windward Institute @TheWindwardInst]

A must listen. Launched today @ehanford new podcast "an exposé of how educators came to believe in something that isn't true and are now reckoning with the consequences — children harmed, money wasted, an education system upended". https://t.co/P2R2Xn5zQX

Children with #DevLangDis are more likely to need additional support for behaviors like anxiety, depression, and aggression because they struggle to communicate their basic wants and needs. https://t.co/gbovAEKOnn
