Reading Teachers
Are you a Year 1 reading teacher (Grade K in the US) who thinks large-unit phonological awareness (syllables, onset-rime) is a necessary prerequisite to phoneme awareness?
You're wasting valuable time. Listen to Dr. Susan Brady: https://t.co/Pp3e5S98Uv
Analysis of Kilpatrick et al debate coming soon. It merits more than a hot take. In the meantime is there open source code for a wordle game? Asking for a friend. #wordle#spelling#reading
@OdegardTim It is the central tenet of The Reading League's organization - it takes a league of diverse stakeholders coming together to make meaningful change.
Proud/dismayed:Just realized I have published articles in 6 decades.The first, Seidenberg & Tanenhaus 1979, still gets ~25 citations a year.The most recent, Lewis et al. (2021), identified gender stereotyping in kids’ books using data science methods that didn’t exist in 1979.1/2
Interesting new court case decision re:a student w/dyslexia w/an IEP in a NM school using the SPIRE program (from https://t.co/oxx9xx5oKk at @lehighedu)
@ParkerPhonics@citizenstewart I think you will find my new report of interest: https://t.co/ae844jdwuq. This out of high-poverty Eastern Kentucky. 85% lunch eligibility and just under 90% reading proficiency thanks to teachers being properly taught how to teach reading.
Tomorrow, I'll be proposing a Bill in Parliament to require screening for dyslexia in primary schools
Only with improved screening in primary schools, alongside better teaching & assessment can we truly unleash the potential of people with dyslexia
“Due to the fact that there are many ways a child can fall through the cracks,this makes the first 3 years of school the most important in the child’s life. It also means the K, 1st& 2nd grade teachers are the most important teachers in the entire system.”Mc Guinness,1997, p.211.
YES! “an unlikely coalition of parents has come together to challenge Minneapolis’s strategies for teaching reading…families of color are LEADING THE CHARGE, representing a socioeconomic cross-section of the city…” https://t.co/Xh4a9cPcHC
LOVE seeing Dr. Gordon Sherman's Cerebrodiversity framework translated into this fantastic little video—very much in the spirit of his engaging presentations conveying research/theoretical complexities to lay audiences. Thank you so much @bnpowers! #dyslexia@DeeDrosenberg
This Thursday 9/29, @DeeDrosenberg will be teaching Dr. Kent’s students at #princetonuniversity, who are interested in dyslexia with the goal of becoming teachers as part of their Seminar on Learning and Teaching. For details: https://t.co/L1Dg3yQ5Ar
