@EminaMcLean I’ve seen good teachers feel disempowered bc they haven’t been trained in “Structured Literacy”. But SL looks like the good literacy teaching many have been promoting for years. It never needed a name when this good doc came out https://t.co/D60XhXT7JP

@JackyNinjakitty @TheRealMrsBrady I did a presentation for whānau last week. Qs were around what to do for older chdn who had missed the foundations and simple ways to support at home. I’m sure it will be a marvellous evening

@brgibson11 @HansFrauenlob Was coming here to say The Stomach. Nurturing music talent for decades and providing gig space and recording options. So good for musos young and old and their fans 🤩🫶

Need for a rethink of use of devices in schools with evidence that high levels of screen time had a negative effect on children’s emotional stability and reduction in achievement levels

[Carl Hendrick @C_Hendrick]

This is pretty significant: Unesco calls for global ban on smartphones in schools < this is a major U-turn for UNESCO, they were advocating their use in the classroom as a driver of literacy in 2014. https://t.co/PJ213o2Xr1.

@jillberry102 @AdrianBethune @BloomsburyEd Agree. And seeing that it doesn’t mean “rough enough” is helpful too. Related fact: I think reading about the good enough parent early in my parenting saved me and my children as well 😅

@JessicaColleu @SPogorzelski @KnowledgeScty So good. Love this research and so good to meet Simmone as she shared it at #SSSR2023 Looking forward to more 😃

[Christine Braid Dr of curlylines @curlylines]

@TessaDaffern Just so hard to choose between all the offerings at #SSSR2023. I’d love to hear about your study Tessa. I’ll look out for publications

[Christine Braid Dr of curlylines @curlylines]

@NathanielRSwain @EminaMcLean Such telling findings. Highlights the importance of making change at primary and secondary so the building blocks are there to make tertiary success possible

[Christine Braid Dr of curlylines @curlylines]

@NathanielRSwain @UFLiteracy @HollyLanePhD The importance of teacher support materials and PLD/coaching is a strong theme across presentations at #SSSR2023

Even with the best of teaching, dyslexia is still hard for the child and the family 💔 A very important thread to highlight that there is no quick fix or magic solution

[Mrs. K @MelK_Ed]

My daughter has dyslexia and has been in a structured literacy, systematic phonics setting with highly qualified and properly trained teachers from the start (preschool-2nd)
Here are some realities we still face-
1- Reading is still incredibly challenging

[Christine Braid Dr of curlylines @curlylines]

@bexreflects So sorry to hear this Bex. Hope all improving. Good hospital care is the best thing isn’t it?

@parkamonkii @CarolineMoss Should anyone say anything about another person’s body? No. We might think it; we don’t have to say it. We might even eventually stop ourselves thinking and judging based on body shape.
