@RplusDyslexia that’s why sound progress monitoring is vital. imagine an ER room w/o data on vital signs. progress using Cbm w goal that REDUCES the gap are vital signs!

@NancyYoung_ @tiffany_peltier some of us may remember the SRA boxes that had colored levels of supposed increasing difficulty. self managed. as i recall, great stories. the big idea though is wide reading, increasing reading volume! knowledge rules!

@PureMichigannow And the single best screener-is R-CBM aka ORF, the key common measure across all the recommended ones. Keep screening simple, sound, time-cost efficient. For younger, LN LS. Best for Universal PM too

This is why I will continue to include the #learningstylesmyth in #EdPsychModules. Agree with @burnsmk1 that #learningstyles is likely the most harmful myth in all of #education. That's why it's #1 on my list below.

@RplusDyslexia @teachforever54 Not just smaller group or individual. This conception is so misleading. Appropriate intervention intensity, which May include grouping size but definitely not the major feature.
