This is one of the most important news stories. I hope you'll listen even if you're not a teacher--even if you don't have a child to teach.

If our children, our citizens, can't read well, what will become of our nation? https://t.co/IaAxYkvAwJ

I was sold a story in my undergraduate and graduate programs. I spent thousands of dollars learning a balanced literacy approach, and I bought into it. It didn't meet the needs of all of my students. [A thread.] https://t.co/ChuzE5n4sH

Great article on how real learning happens when students know the routines and expectations.

Learning to read is hard for more children than you might realize. It’s not about intelligence. Lots of very smart people have a tough time. They need direct/explicit instruction. Lots of children weren’t getting in 1998. They’re still not. https://t.co/As5lQvGH8M

The problem with "teacher shortage" is its passivity. It's as if we've mysteriously landed here & not due to devaluing us. Then, you blame teachers.

This is inaccurate.
"The most oft-cited reason for a lack of interest in teaching is low teacher salaries." (EPI, 2022)

Fluency practice sparks students engagement and builds comprehension when reading complex text. #scienceofreading #fluency #complextext

@WeinsteinDaniel Like you, it's hard for me to wrap my head around this.

[Christine D @cedibuono]

@WeinsteinDaniel There is an end in sight. Feel better!

Very interesting article and worth a read if you are working with struggling readers who can't read complex text.

[Nate Joseph @NateJoseph19]

Repeated Reading is the lost component of the Science of Reading. The research evidence for it is even stronger than the evidence for phonics and yet it's never talked about. Both phonics and Repeated Reading deserve their place in reading instruction.

Excellent, brief, lucid explanation of how teaching history/social studies can build the kind of knowledge & vocabulary that fuels general reading comprehension.

Please read it & pass it on! @ClassroomWonder

[Christine D @cedibuono]

@Edu_Historian I would shadow some teachers for a day, or even better - for a week. Then experience this at different grade levels, subjects, types of schools, etc. I look forward to hearing more about your research. : )

[Christine D @cedibuono]

This is so true, and the reason why so many teachers don't stay in the profession. 🙁

[Christine D @cedibuono]

@LisaSandersmd I have a case, but I'm also not able to DM you.

. @ReadingShanahan I find your commentary to be refreshing and straightforward. Thank you for your clarity. “You cannot interpret effect sizes without some awareness of the original studies included in the analysis.” #insight #truth
