The conversations from FCRR’s inaugural Artificial Intelligence and the Reading System Summit are still resonating! Researchers, educators, and innovators came together to explore how AI is reshaping reading science through the lenses of empiricism, ethics, and engineering.📚🖥️💡
This has got to be one of the most wonderful things I've seen in a long time.
This is the kind of creativity that makes you stop scrolling.
No special effects. No fancy equipment.

Instead, try continuous blending:
✨ stretch and connect the sounds
✨ keep it smooth

Luke Morin describes “lily pads” as the supports that help students move through a complex text.
Too few lily pads and students struggle to stay afloat.
Too many and they never grow stronger.
In this video, Luke shows what that looks like in practice. https://t.co/8T3QQqcEla
