“Success is a team sport. Failure we can do alone. Success takes the help of others." The staff at AGC got a bit "Sinek-al" as we worked together to improve our craft. @simonsinek , @WASDSchools , @WASD_PLN.

Whole word reading is a myth, teaching letter to sound correspondence is essential

The article; Why aren't kids being taught to read hard words? , should be an article for every elementary teacher, principal, curriculum leader and Superintendent to read. We must embrace, accept and pay attention to the research - it is sound @apmreports @LouisaMoats

[APM Reports @apmreports]

One of the most consistent findings in all of education research is that children become better readers when they get explicit and systematic phonics instruction. https://t.co/A7yfcpRQtq

The case for direct instruction, it works. https://t.co/xzIt7AUOau

[Dylan Wiliam @dylanwiliam]

328 studies over 50 years show that direct instruction (structured guidance for teachers, teaching discrete skills before application, daily checks on learning, regular testing for mastery) has consistent, large positive effects on student achievement: https://t.co/GOt4aDBUWg ($)
