TechTeachMike likes to teach technology, teach with technology, and teach teachers how to teach with technology. He also likes alliteration.

The study might not be exciting to read, but this table should interest anybody who values DIBELS.

If you haven't used CommonLit, check it out. What better way to start than with this passage I wrote for them. https://t.co/mGJJOhTEBk

@ASDtech_Vicki Well there is that. But I think of teachers who spend hours and hours on phonemes and long vowel sounds. And how they say "I don't have time for science. My kids can't read."

Schools Are Failing to Teach Kids How to Read - The Atlantic https://t.co/ea0oIRWXwa

[Michael Signal @TechTeachMike]

@ASDtech_Vicki I'd like to see something that also shows that early readers can become better readers when they also learn science, social studies, etc.

[Michael Signal @TechTeachMike]

@ASDtech_Vicki Since the article focus on NAEP measurements, I doubt the author felt a need discuss fluency. But with a title like "Schools are Failing to Teach Kids How to Read," I would expect a little about early literacy.

[Michael Signal @TechTeachMike]

@ASDtech_Vicki I really liked the article, but it missed on some key ideas, like the research that shows prior knowledge also aids in decoding cold texts.

Why write student-friendly standards on the whiteboard when kids can just have them at their desk? #standards #studentcentered
