Unfortunately this is commonplace. Universities must do better! On that note however, I’m excited about the @IADeptofEd ‘s work to support teacher prep programs in Iowa. Good things are happening here!

[Sarah Gannon @Sarahabbottganz]

My teacher prep program (University of Michigan) was a definite fail in terms of preparing me to teach structured literacy. I 💯 agree that it starts here.

"We must **resist the urge** to choose reading accommodations over reading interventions. It is NEVER too late to teach kids HOW to read."

“…the biggest implication for educators around generative learning is that we, the educators, are responsible for creating the conditions for learning. We need to explicitly teach students how to be learners.” ~Megan Kruse https://t.co/bBeaDrbL4Y

“…if the same funds were invested in four-and five-year-olds, that are spent on interventions for the 2/3 of third graders who have not learned to read proficiently, a lot of anguish, sadness, and later costs could be avoided.” TRUTH from Dr. Jeannine Herron

"As Pamela Snow so compellingly reminds us:  we cannot afford to waste another 20 years.  Children’s instructional time is not ours to waste." @bmkruse3 This quote also reminds me of the Anita Archerism "Teach the stuff, cut the fluff!"

The Evidence Advocacy Center has a new menu for linguistically diverse learners! The team, chaired by @DrElsa_CHagan, provided research-based resources about education for students who are linguistically diverse. @ILAToday @CECMembership @reading_league https://t.co/U03xb4oZG1

Heartbreaking stories.

I do like the trend of parents holding districts accountable. We simply cannot accept this happening to our kids.

I sure wish tweets could be edited. The word Expands is incorrect. It should say Spans. Ugh!

[Stephanie Edgren @StephanieEdgren]

The conclusion of the article Scientific Research & Classroom Application: How Structured Literacy Expands the Divide by G. Reid Lyon and Margaret Goldberg in https://t.co/jjhDLCxgjo is POWERFUL!!

I just published a blog on reading fluency. Defining, assessing and teaching. Looking forward to comments!

@Suchmo83 Thank you for clarifying.

[Stephanie Edgren @StephanieEdgren]

It's NOT about reading fast!

[Melissa & Lori Love Literacy Podcast @literacypodcast]

👂 You heard that right... for reading fluency, AVERAGE is GOOD!

Students who read above average on ORF are likely reading TOO FAST to make sense of what they are reading.
