New report on teacher prep to teach reading. "Too few teachers and the programs that prepare them understand and apply the science of reading. The result is classroom instruction that does not teach students how to read."

Looking for some Sunday reading on the Science of Reading? https://t.co/lRosWejeRc "The resurfacing of questions abt what constitutes the science of reading is leading to misinfo that may be viewed by educational stakeholders as merely differences of opinion among scientists..."

[The Reading League @reading_league]

The #ScienceofReading not only improves literacy outcomes for students, it also empowers educators and helps them achieve goals. Hear more from our community on how these practices have changed their teaching experiences for the better.

[Louisa Moats @LouisaMoats]

The AFT has just published a revised and updated "Teaching Reading IS Rocket Science, 2020."

[The Reading League @reading_league]

We must ensure the #ScienceofReading is part of teacher (and administrator) preparation so they are equipped with knowledge necessary to help their students learn to read.

Hear from @ehanford on how we can better prepare educators ⬇️

"This we know: reading failure can be prevented in all but a small percentage of children w/ serious learning disorders... if we start early+follow the significant body of research showing which practices are most effective." https://t.co/ErEBL0K0pe
