We did it! SB 614 (S. Rubio) was defeated today in Appropriations Committee. Thank you all for your support.

I'm so proud to be part of @DDCalifornia and the coalition we've built! A win today for the children of CA & our ongoing efforts to align instructional practices with the science of reading. Thanks to all who helped #StopSB614 @reading_league @ehanford @SRVUSD_Supt @LorenaAD80
Thank you to all of our Twitter friends who joined us in opposing SB 614!
SB614 should be revised to toss out the bathwater, not the baby, directing @CalCTC to make #RICA humane:
1. Split to before/after lunch
2. Allow computer or paper
3. Let applicants retake failed part only
4. Raise time from 4 to 6 hours
5. Waive/subsidize fees

In California we believe in Climate Science- why don't we believe in the Science of Reading? #StopSB614
@Vimos It's taking way too long to get administrators, teachers, and education professors to drop easy, intuitive methods that work with the luckiest students but fail many. The answer is not to give up on bringing reading science to California! #NoOnSB614 #StopSB614
The Wisconsin Legislature is investing in their knowledge of early literacy w/Symposia Series on Early Literacy Policies. It would be great if the CA State Legislature did the same, especially b4 passing bills about early literacy?

@LouisaMoats CAPCA has been trying to get state legislators to read this as they consider redefining reading instruction and scrapping the Reading Instruction Competence Assessment #RICA #StopSB614
Don’t shoot the messenger! #RICA is “hard” esp on 1st try because: 1) Reading is complex, though good curricula ease teacher burdens. 2) Many teacher preparers prefer “whole language.” 3) RICA requires reading comprehension & ability to write. RICA IS NOT THE PROBLEM. #StopSB614
"California has made substantial progress since the RICA was instituted in 1998.
● In 1998, ... 52% of CA 4th graders could not read. By 2017, this had been reduced to 39%." Between 1992-1998, CA showed no improvement. https://t.co/XIRa2QqwRx #StopSB614 #VetoSB614
@AsmShirleyWeber Teachers need to know both what to teach and how to teach it. We need statewide, consistent oversight to measure the content knowledge needed to effectively teach reading. #StopSB614 It hurts our most vulnerable students.` @GavinNewsom
@LorenaAD80 Performance based assessments don't relieve teacher shortages and they may be more biased against POC.#StopSB614
@dbishop0 Actual classroom educators, none. Teachers unions and Ed organizations pushing a false agenda which lower the standards for teachers and hurt our most vulnerable students.. I am a teacher and I am not happy. #StopSB614
For most students, being clued in to "What the Words Say" is a revelation. For many, it comes too late. SB 614 would make matters far worse. Statute and Reading Instruction Competence Assessment (#RICA) aren't enough, but they are necessary. #StopSB614

,@AsmBillQuirk Let's keep the science in reading instruction. #StopSB614 #ReadingMatters #IBelievetheScience
Teaching reading does require advanced knowledge and skill. That's why we need a competency test for teachers on valid, research based methods. It turns out Teaching Reading is Rocket Science! https://t.co/xmKfK1o2y2
,@AsmBillQuirk @AsmEdChau @LorenaAD80 #StopSB614 because reading matters, science matters, and the science of reading matters.#ReadingMatters
Scrapping Reading Instruction Competence Assessment (#RICA) and diluting the definition of reading instruction to include "whatever" isn't throwing out the bathwater; it's throwing out the baby. #StopSB614 #ReadingMatters #IBelieveTheScience
,@AsmMeganDahle Quality reading education should be something we can all agree on. #StopSB614
CA has led advances in reading instruction for students with all #disabilities, from 1999's CA Reading Initiative and Special Education in CA, through 2017’s Dyslexia Guidelines. Stakeholders came together. Don't reverse progress hastily amid the pandemic isolation! #StopSB614
,@AsmRobertRivas @AsmCottie @AsmEGarciaAD56 @AsmJesseGabriel @AsmSusanEggman @IanAD57 Please listen to the voices opposing SB614. #StopSB614
@LorenaSGonzalez SB614 would eliminate reading credentialing test while we are all distracted by Covid-19. #StopSB614 #WhatsTheRush #StopSB614
Should we “shake up” the California reading instruction by scrapping the Reading Instruction Competence Assessment (#RICA) and the definition of reading instruction because we think things can’t get worse? Think again. #StopSB614
@Scott_Wiener @DavidChiu - all kids in CA deserve well prepared teachers so they can learn to read! SB614 will gut California’s reading laws. Vote no!#STOPSB614 #VETOSB614
