Misconception #2: The 'science of reading' is a program. “We’re doing the SoR!”

Not true. The science of reading is NOT just a curriculum but a set of reforms that include teacher preparation, professional development, and leadership all focused on bringing evidence-based

Misconception #3: The “5 pillars” (PA, phonics, fluency, vocab & comp) = SoR.

These ‘pillars’ were identified in the NRP report 23 years ago. Since then we know that oral lang and background knowledge play a HUGE role in reading proficiency. We should now call it the “Big 7.”

Could not be more happy that the newest of Perspectives is *not* behind a paywall.

It includes the paper Reid Lyon says will be his last, and great pieces by @DrElsa_CHagan, @KJWinEducation, @OdegardTim, @ProfKateCain, @EhriLehri, and so many more.

Canadians have the right to protest. And it should be done rationally and respectfully. But to do it by vandalizing our kid’s elementary school is just deplorable behavior. No matter the cause, or reason. It’s just an awful thing to do.

@56ElbowPark Awesome! Maybe post in EPS 3/4? 😀 love seeing this great with. Thank you!

@bellyofawhale I know! I thought 8? There are still people in line here in calgary. Wondering if that’s why.

@WestJet @lifeoverstuff @WestJet you changed our flights and offered ZERO compensation for this huge hassle. No voucher, no food voucher, no upgrade, no points. No discount on future flights. Today I get an email offering us to PAY for a seating upgrade and it made me so angry and disappointed!

[Amy Norman, PhD @amymarienorman]

@WestJet @lifeoverstuff @WestJet seeing this post reminds me how frustrated we are to be flying with you guys to Maui next week. We are loyal Westjet travelers, a family of six. We paid a higher price and booked direct flights with you from YYC. Two months ago you changed our direct flight to indirect!

[Amy Norman, PhD @amymarienorman]

@drumzan @WestJet Me too @westjet!! I’ve tried on three different devices, I’ve wasted two hours on this today. I hope you honour these codes! You’ve been sending me emails all day touting this deal but I can’t actually book! So infuriated

@34ElbowPark Awesome!

@FechJason @ElbowParkSchool Awesome!!

@bellyofawhale I’m so distraught. And people will be mighty surprised when Kenney can’t bring back the oil industry. As if Notley herself lowered the price of a barrel. I’m so angry at how singular this province can be.

[Amy Norman, PhD @amymarienorman]

@FechJason @ElbowParkSchool These kids were having an absolute blast doing this. Thank you!

[Amy Norman, PhD @amymarienorman]

@FechJason @ElbowParkSchool Wow, awesome!
