At this joyful time of year, @sarahpowellphd and I share the onion video… for the benefit of all onion-cutting stuffing-makers and teachers … here’s how you cut an onion taught using explicit instruction https://t.co/wgzlnaaePL … Learn a teaching strategy. Save Thanksgiving.

@prestwich_d @tiffany_peltier @codepted @Amplify @DrNathanClemens @ReadingShanahan @ParkerPhonics So many programs have the say, spell, say method for hfw. Even ones that may be considered a decent program. Is there any research to support this practice or is it more of a whole language hold out?

@CindiL13 Thanks for sharing. This looks great!

@CindiL13 Love! They are so cute. 😻

[Alicia @anoll57]

Yes!

Emily Hanford notes schools are teaching both phonics & strategies that reflect the cueing system. We need to stop presenting students with conflicting information because it interferes with the mapping process and their ability to become proficient readers. #PaLitSymposium2020

[Janelle Kopac @misskopac3]

Any teachers out there using Skippy Frog, Eagle Eye, Tryin’ Lion, etc. PLEASE ditch them.Guessing is not a strategy and is not what good readers do!Use Lyn Stones’ decoding dragon and Pam Kastner’s PSST bookmarks instead! #PaLitSymposium2020 @lifelonglit #teamnorthern @liv2learn

Great session on orthographic mapping and sight words. Many reading myths debunked. We need to get away from memorizing whole words and instead draw students’ attention to the regular and unexpected parts of words to support their mapping of words. #PaLitSymposium2020

[Alicia @anoll57]

We need to stop telling kids that “trick/sight” words can’t be tapped out! It IS possible to say the sounds of the word and this sounding out process is going to aid the students. Then we need to help them learn the tricky parts. Thinking they’ll learn it magically isn’t working.

[Pam Kastner @liv2learn]

1. Many recent posts about "sight words"on FB lit. pages & still so many think using flash cards to memorize words is actually TEACHING kids to read. What does David Kilpatrick have to say? Watch this snipped presentation clip to see. https://t.co/fvNhIkVL4o @ReadingLeaguePA

The Fox Reading Conference (3-21-20) is now fully online and free of charge. Register now to learn about the Science of reading from Louisa Moats, Louise Spear-Swerling, and Margie Gillis. Register to get access to this great learning opportunity. https://t.co/9n3gL89BAG

[Right to Read Project @right2readproj]

Yes! It’s shocking as a primary grade teacher to learn that so many kids who left K/1 appearing to be strong readers actually require intervention in the upper grades because of gaps we unknowingly left in their foundational skill development.

[Alicia @anoll57]

So true!! And until the core curriculum is based on the science of reading, includes knowledge building and numerous opportunities for practice, reading support and special education classes will continue to grow unnecessarily.

“It”s not drill and kill, it’s giving children multiple exposures to build the visual word form area.” A must watch video clip of Maryanne Wolf’s presentation at the Reading League Conference. #TRLConf2019

Very interesting article...matches my dislike for the assessment and the large amount of time that it takes away from instruction.

[Susan L. Hall, EdD @susanhall_EdD]

If you use F & P’s BAS assessment, this is an important article to read. It’s written by Margaret Goldberg from the #righttoread group in Oakland. https://t.co/gn1SY6Pw6Z

[Timothy Shanahan @ReadingShanahan]

Are we teaching reading comprehension? I don't think so and here is how we can change that to be more effective.

[Susan L. Hall, EdD @susanhall_EdD]

Yes, to teach students to read is going to take a thoughtful curriculum. Patching pieces together is insufficient. Phonics by itself needs sequential lessons, but what about vocab/comp/oral language/writing? It needs to be integrated thoughtfully.

[Alicia @anoll57]

YES!!!

[Susan L. Hall, EdD @susanhall_EdD]

Guided reading is not the best approach for students who are in the learning-to-read stage. They need instruction that explicitly teaches the structure of the English language where phonics skills are taught in a sequence and with decodable text that provides cumulative practice.
