Here's an opportunity for families with children age 7-9 to learn about their child's reading development, earn $200, AND support important research!

This work is being done in partnership with @UMN_MIDB and Ed Psych's @kristenmcmaster and @Kendeou.

Please share!

@ehanford The Minnesota House and Senate voted to approve the Read Act, and is awaiting the signature of Governor Walz. This is a significant step in the right direction for Minnesota kids!!!!

@DyslexiaMN I want my money back for my reading license in balanced literacy.

What a bizarre world.

A person can believe utter nonsense, as did Marie Clay (see below), and yet, nonetheless, achieve fame and found an organization (Reading Recovery) still in existence today.

Reading Recovery is part of the problem, not the solution.

@ehanford I think we need to revise the concept of a “literacy block.” Literacy is not a block; it is occurring everyday, all day long, whenever a child is reading and writing. Best literacy practices should always be utilized whenever a student is engaging in literacy.

@DrMPaff @FountasPinnell I mean always PROVING

[Wendy Lundsgaard @WLundsgaard]

@DrMPaff @FountasPinnell I was the black sheep of my classes always disproving why what we were learning was wrong.

[Wendy Lundsgaard @WLundsgaard]

@DrMPaff @FountasPinnell And why do I own this book? It was a required textbook in one of my Reading License courses. 😡 #iwantmymoneyback

[Wendy Lundsgaard @WLundsgaard]

@DrMPaff @FountasPinnell Guide for teachers from F&P on how to choose leveled text. Why would books at a beginning first grade-level need to be so closely aligned with what children already know? Why would the content need to be supported by illustrations? Ah…could it be so kids can guess the words?

@ChristyRAustin @DrMPaff @tiffany_peltier @FountasPinnell Interestingly my daughter who learned via BL read the following sentence incorrectly (I heard a neigh beyond the hill and saw a hose in the pasture.), while my daughter who learned via SL read it correctly and said it didn’t make sense.
