It’s time we pull out head out of the sand on the fact 25% of kids are being failed due to non evidence based literacy methods. Step out of the 80’s Australia. Get with the science of reading.

@LeilaMattner @duns3399 @DyslexiaMSL @NarelleLynch1 Are you confident that new grads know how to teach reading? Are you confident that a teacher of 20 years knows how to instruct a struggling reader? I have been admin of Australia’s largest dyslexia support group for 4 years and I can tell you the strugglers are falling in cracks
@Kristinant @LeilaMattner @duns3399 @DyslexiaMSL @NarelleLynch1 Yes exactly live TV is daunting - articulating replies to questions on the spot is difficult for even seasoned interviewees.
@DyslexiaMSL @LeilaMattner @NarelleLynch1 We know that teachers are not currently equipped to teach 20% of the students. The other 80% of kids will pick it up regardless. Not teacher bashing. It comes back to teacher training.
