Be informed! We teach children to successfully decode and comprehend text. “Teaching reading is NO guessing game.  Reading is, however, a “message-getting, problem-solving activity that increases in power and flexibility the more it is practiced” (Clay, 1991, p. 6).”

[Bethany Hardesty RR @bethanyhardesty]

There is no ONE way students learn to read. All learners are different and need different things. We should address the needs of ALL students and how they learn best.

"We are fortunate that our son did take part in Reading Recovery, and I hope that it will be there for other students to help them succeed in their lives as well." - Kristin C.

Secondary teachers, if you listen to Sold a Story & think, “oh this explains the reading issues I’m seeing,” remember:

The story is far more complex than what is presented.

Our students & colleagues deserve better than us accepting over-generalizations & over-simplifications.

Good night to the latest reading debate..
"Clearly, students are going to fit different profiles of strength & weakness, and one approach will not work equally well for all."-Moats & Tolman
"We need to think more about children taking different paths to similar outcomes."-Clay

"The assumptions of Clay’s theory and research and the related implications offered in the podcast are faulty and do not lead to the conclusions offered by the journalist. Emily Hanford got it wrong."

"Phonics instruction...is only one component of a complex cognitive system of learning to read and write. It’s like practicing basketball skills in isolated drills but never playing in a game." - @cbriggs1
