What if students learned to read and spell the first time we taught them, instead of having a re-do with a program such as Empower?
What if we empowered classrooms with systematic, sequential, explicit literacy instruction for everyone, right from the start?

Ten minutes very well spent if you are a parent, educator, or decision-maker for children. At birth, our brains are wired for language, not for reading. Unlike spoken language, reading must be taught, and some ways of teaching are much better than others. @Suchmo83 explains:

@ReadNaturally @janhasbrouck The digital data trackers are a great addition. Other digital materials to reduce educators’ printing time, or to reduce the needs to print anything other than the student-facing materials at all, would also enhance use and access.

Student teachers only answered 60% of phonics questions correctly on survey. "We have to take this seriously. Otherwise, the number of struggling kids will continue to rise, and we will be in front of a literacy crisis very soon," Prof. Georgiou said.
