Hear this message loud and clear. Comprehending what you read is about KNOWLEDGE and LANGUAGE not about which “strategies” you can employ best. https://t.co/YoJx8RdmKj

@EminaMcLean I know, right! ‘Regular spelling patterns’??? 😂

Support the Primary Reading Pledge Plan. There’s a decision framework, a great list of valid assessments for schools to use as well as a list of evidence based and evidence informed intervention programs and resources. https://t.co/11dRkpKczE

‘Decoding is the critical test of reading ability-To render aloud a pseudoword or to recognise a word never seen before in print as a specific word in one’s vocabulary cannot be accomplished by rote memory.These feats require knowledge of the alphabetic principle.Perfetti 2010

[Pam Kastner @liv2learn]

How to TEACH & not memorize high frequency words is so essential and directly aligns with the research of Ehri, Kilpatrick, &orthographic mapping but knowledge alone is not enough. We need to KNOW & DO. I hope this padlet helps with both. https://t.co/zxhpbgnGvE @Isaology

@ScrivensWendy @BReitstatter so satisfying reading this.

Consonants retain their identity in a blend so we should not teach them like digraphs, reduce the cognitive load by teaching the skill of blending instead. Read more at https://t.co/UL8msQNY7r #DontLeaveReadingToChance

This weekend I listened to a recorded webinar by David Kilpatrick. I noticed that he has started using the term ‘orthographic proficiency’. Awareness is not enough; proficiency is necessary for efficient word learning. #scienceofreading #readingleague

What do you do when you have a student who just fails to make progress in reading?

Principal Jocelyn Seamer discusses why a student’s reading may not be progressing and what can be done about it?
