Science of Writing Instruction

Explicit, structured, evidence-based writing instruction, i.e. (IES, SRSD, Cognitive Toolkit). Teachers are so amazing! Led by Dr. Leslie Laud

Such great news! @reading_league follows research, highlights such important evidence-based practices, and honors all strands

[Karen Vaites @karenvaites]

The Reading League is really all-in on comprehension strategies.

@ZohrinM @Great_LakesPS So glad! The stages actually come from Dr. Deshler's 6 Steps, just to be sure he is credited (not myself) as the great mind behind that work.

@nsachdeva2019 @JamieMetsala What a line up!! @Ready4rigor is NOT to be missed. Buying my ticket today!

[Zach Groshell @MrZachG]

Several of the schools I work with use @thinkSRSD to structure their writing curriculum. Check out my episode with @LeslieLaud to find out more about this approach.

[Assemblymember Robert Carroll @Bobby4Brooklyn]

The literacy crisis is real, and we will not solve it with half measures. We need a wholesale change in how we train teachers and how we teach reading. That is why we must pass my Right to Read bill, A.78.

Balanced literacy has failed too many children. We need a systematic, structured, cumulative approach to reading instruction rooted in phonics and the core pillars of literacy.

States across the country, including California, are making this shift. New York should lead, not be the last state in the nation to reform. You can’t claim to care about social justice, progress or social mobility if you do not care about literacy. Literacy is the gateway to opportunity.

When professional learning (PL) is misaligned with the adopted curriculum, it can lead to confusion, inconsistent practices & initiative fatigue.

@j_oneill222 @missKAR21 @EastOroPS @SCDSBLiteracy Happy writers! ❤️

[Zach Groshell @MrZachG]

Writing is one of the most cognitively demanding things we ask students to do, and yet instruction can vary dramatically from classroom to classroom. Check out the latest episode with writing instruction expert, @LeslieLaud!

[HILL for Literacy @HILLforLiteracy]

We are thrilled to present the recordings of the HILL's Literacy Summit Panels, bringing the brilliant ideas, insights, and lively discussion to a broader audience. Each panel is approximately 30-45 minutes long – join us for one or two, or all! https://t.co/1IjPb1eEKT

So excited to see how deeply entrenched think SRSD (now Releasing Writers) is in EP. Standing the test of time due to incredible local, teacher leadership!

(We brought the approach to EP in 2022 and they now carry, augment and extend it so beautifully)

Hats off to EP leaders!

[NE Basecamp @NE_Basecamp]

The sun is shining on these SRSD leaders in East Providence. The lighthouse classroom teachers and the point-person coaches came together for an after-school session to discuss writing across the district. The future is so bright here, we need sunglasses! #SRSD @LindseyNReilly @EProvHighSchool #towniepride

We have been reading mentor texts for weeks as we collaboratively explored CSPACE. We have been delving into rich language and also been learning about character traits, motivations, goals and values. Today we examined show versus tell. @thinkSRSD @LeslieLaud

Evidence-Based for What? The Question We Rarely Ask and Need to https://t.co/eeJA7CwLer

[AIM Institute @AIMtoLearn]

What have we learned about the brain circuitry behind reading and where do we go next?

Join Dr. Laurie Cutting of Vanderbilt University as she examines the neural systems that support reading at both the word and discourse level. Her presentation connects decades of brain research to the future of translational, classroom-relevant practice, helping educators understand how neuroscience can inform instruction for all readers, including those with dyslexia.

A powerful example of AIM’s long-standing commitment to bridging research and real-world impact.

Home run out of the park! ⚾️
Every time @thinkSRSD presents to our teachers, it’s simply amazing. What a great day digging into the revision lesson and strengthening writing instruction! ✏️
