@wbny I will absolutely read them! Stephanie Harvey also does some great work around teaching text features and summarizing!

EdReports, once a solid guide to curriculum quality, has lost its reliability.

It’s a source of huge concern, well-understood in the literacy community, and seldom discussed “out loud.”

TY @natwexler for this excellent overview of the problems. A must-read.

Why Writing by Hand Is Better for Memory and Learning

You shouldn’t have to be lucky to learn to read. We know what we need to do. We need NYS to mandate evidence based literacy curriculum. Every child has a #RightToRead 1/2

On our #KnowledgeMatters School Tours, we often hear that knowledge building curriculum allows teachers to focus more on student needs.

On our @CentralCSS tour, Mrs. Woodard echoed that:

"we don't have to focus on the content, we can focus on the way that we're delivering it."
