@markseidenberg @ReadingShanahan In some ways, I feel more lost than ever. Taking comfort in Dykstra’s comments of knowing the bullseye of science - What do we actually know? We need the 5 pillars.

During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”

Just about to delve into this world. Teacher knowledge is important, and I feel like the basic construction of a sentence is something fundamental.

@JoAnneGross1 @StephLeLievre_ I’m not an either/or person but I thought this might be of use. Step 1 indicates the use of phonics. 🤷‍♀️ I like that Linnea Ehri says more study - we are all still learning.

@mrsbowmansclass @Suchmo83 I just finished Hennessy’s Blueprint to Comprehension and will tackle this one next. Glad to hear it will be worth it 😀

@SpeechieTeach_ I wonder if any of those classroom displays were constructed by the students as part of a learning experience? Would there be a difference in attention spent on the environment then or would the environment serve to jog their memory? Just thinking out loud 🤔

Early Christmas present to me. Developing my reading spine for next year and digging deeper into Hollingsworth and Ybarra’s work :)

@DamonPThomas I would have liked to know the parts of speech to better help students write purposefully and to assist comprehension.

@MrHtheteacher Yes!

Enjoying being able to continue my learning through online education from @SpeldNSW about #T4W. Learning a lot and am very much looking forward to being able to implement it next term.

@CMW2786 We are reading the Miraculous journey of Edward Tulane. Can’t say if it’s the best but very much recommended - the students are hooked!

@reading_league My “ah-ha” moment was when I realised I had no idea why a student could not read and could not honestly answer a parent. I decided then and there to investigate and discover all that I could.

@Smithre5 Now to read, process, comprehend and put into action!

This concise article by @buckingham_j explaining the NAPLAN review is well worth reading https://t.co/3GrsEbbX7Q

@dianna60607965 @Cfstep @MULTILITmedia I hear you.

[Danielle Skerman @SkermanDanielle]

Looking at the Aus Curriculum and it indicates that “predicting” along with “monitoring the reading” are text processing strategies. I had thought they’re more linked to comprehension and not decoding. Can anyone confirm or steer me in the right direction? TIA

@PaulinaSkerman @BrownMatthewA You can be the same vintage as me because I know what they are.
