Here’s one of my golden lines from this thoroughly researched article- “In education, we must be cautious not just of failing to adopt evidence-based practices but also of failing to monitor and critically appraise the evidence supporting practices we do adopt.”
If, like me, you are fascinated by the history of theory and research on reading, this brilliant journal article is for you. If you just want the moral of the story, it’s please stop using running records for assessing reading. They are based on disproven theory and flawed research. There are many better options.

Important read for those educators in NJ who are still wrestling with, what I consider, the indisputable research about the many failings of running records. Please stop…..

The headline is effective at grabbing our attention, “ChatGPT May Be Eroding Critical Thinking Skills.” Read the entire research study to discover an effective use of AI for students.

@thismomloves My grad students were excited when I started delving into all the amazing resources in this book. They were admittedly thirsty for this and couldn’t wait to share it with colleagues.
@NateJoseph19 Thank you for your persistence in this research! As a practitioner who has spent 30+ years teaching older struggling readers, I can attest to your preliminary findings that phonics instruction is effective with this age group.
@OdegardTim A golden line for me, “LanguageScreen might be used to foster collaborative practice between educators and other professional services as they work together to provide effective support for children with language difficulties.”
Just in time for my annual summer update of the RIISE modules for educators! (Research Informed Instruction for Success and Equity) A lot to unpack for administrators, educators and parents.

Here’s why you need to become a member of the International Dyslexia Association……..an article that I will be referencing in my PD sessions with educators and parents next school year. Let’s get our school counselors in on the conversation, too!
@rastokke Congratulations! I’ve been recommending the podcast to my Ed. leader friends to incorporate into their teachers’ PLC sessions….so many takeaways and food for thought to spur changes in our approach to math instruction and assessment.
@iactuallysaidit @tiffany_peltier Unfortunately, not all NJ public schools have adopted the digital formats….and not every AP subject test has a digital version…..yet. So it goes when you have local control.
From the launch presentation of The Reading League’s Curriculum Navigation reports…..how many educators were assigned articles from any of the journals listed here in their pre-service programs?? Professors….do you subscribe to any of these journals?
I can’t wait to dig into The Dyslexia Debate Revisited…..one quote below from the preview, check out the full preview and you’ll know why anyone who conducts learning evaluations should do their due diligence and read the book.
Attention #educators! We're conducting a research study to gather insights into K-3rd grade teachers' understanding of early reading foundational skills. If you're keen on contributing, simply click the link below to fill out the survey: https://t.co/kVYWRWZ9xJ
@tiffany_peltier 10 minutes a day throughout Kinder……30 minutes a week, 17.5. hours in a typical school year…use your DATA to determine if you need to persist with PA otherwise you are wasting valuable instructional time that can be spent developing and practicing decoding skills.
@SSRJournal Thank you! Our field needs more open access to high quality research such as that published in SSRJ. When they remain behind paywalls, our educators miss out and thus our students pay the price.
One and done trainings (e.g., SoR curriculum rollout) without coaching will not impact teacher growth and, ultimately, student achievement. “Coached teachers retained and increased their skills over time, uncoached teachers did not.” https://t.co/HyDyFhS3zz
