Our documentation of evidence from Connect42 programs supports the growing link between literacy as a determinant of health and key aspect in desistance from crime #jailingisfailing #100PercentLiteracy #JustSociety @TILES @UTAS

Just Moving On is underway. Thanks to @TasmanianCommunityFund for the opportunity to deliver this program. We work with people through the time they leave prison and reconnect with community. In partnership with @Taschamber we are working towards employment and training pathways.

Literacy is equity right now. The urgency is unparalleled.

@💯@PamelaSnow2 The soft racism and classism of low expectations is unacceptable. For participation in a knowledge economy WE MUST teach the structure of the language explicitly and cumulatively regardless of zip code. #literacyliberates #neuhaus

#100PercentLiteracy
100% of our people reading, writing & communicating at 100% of their potential.
The gap between 100% & the current 50% is the low hanging fruit for #Tasmania's most immediate future productivity and human resourcing stability.

@Brehm40 @FaithBorkowsky Yes, a great webinar hosted by @connect42_ on the Science of Reading. A recording was taken, be sure to keep an eye out for when it is posted. I will also post the link when it is released. 👍

[David Simpson @MrSimpson07]

Q: Is there room for predictable texts in addition to desirable texts?
@buckingham_j A: No. No, there's not.

@PamelaSnow2 "Predictable texts create the illusion of reading, leading to the Year 3 Slump".

Gold. Absolute gold. I could listen to these whip-smart people all day!

[David Simpson @MrSimpson07]

@ashleypratt @PamelaSnow2 It's a great webinar. I love how evidence-based approaches to reading are so accessible. There's no excuse for students to not have access to this kind of high-impact instructional approach. Thanks to @connect42_ for organising.

[Tanya Judd @misswistful]

Inspired listening to Professor Pam Snow and Dr Jennifer Buckingham to challenge the “soft bigotry of low expectations” #100PercentLiteracy thanks to @connect42_

[Amanda Neil @AmandaLNeil]

Reading is not a natural process, it is biologically secondary.

All children need reading instruction, and for up to 65% of children a structured approach is essential.

Thank you @PamelaSnow2
& @buckingham_j
for sharing your expertise.
