Wowza news in early literacy:

Study shows major gains in K-1 reading outcomes from use of the viral, and virtually free, UFLI foundational skills program.

In fact, I’ve never seen effect sizes this high from a study of a literacy program.

Congrats @HollyLanePhD @burnsmk1 @UFLiteracy!

🤔Guess I should be more “social” than I am. An unfamiliar app was in my “social” folder in the spot where Twitter goes, but couldn’t find Twitter to move there. Opened the offending app and found out Twitter must have gotten a divorce from my phone and its X got custody of me?🤷‍♀️

@DanWuori Great research on fathers reading to children. The results found fathers who read to their children at age two predicted better language development at age four.

Read to your newborn. 📚

With hearing developing during the final months of gestation, it’s never too early to begin reading to your baby. And this mom is giving us an absolute master class in how to do it right.

Note first that she’s reading face-to-face. At this age (10 weeks), there is literally nothing more thrilling - or instructional - to your newborn than your face. Check out how intently focused baby is on mom’s voice and facial expressions.

Mom reads with expression and emotion, alternating between glances at the text and direct eye contact with her adoring audience of one.

And there is so much going on in that developing brain. Did you know that during the earliest years of life babies form new neural connections at an estimated 1 million per SECOND?

With these types of rich daily interactions, mom is setting her baby up for a lifetime of success.

Kudos to KelseyPaumer (IG) on this fantastic and educational 🎥 clip.

Working memory lets us store and use information over short periods of time. How can we support students' working memory? Let's take a look.

@GiftedTawk @KeyiTech It’s like the Pixar lamp’s offspring with Groot was fostered by the California Raisins a while, and it shows!
