@CBCOntarioToday The regular classroom is where all students can learn to read with Structured Literacy. Universal design - everyone needs to learn to decode words and access them to build meaning, within a Structured Literacy framework. Read the science.

@CBCOntarioToday Teaching with Structured Literacy (phonemic awareness, oral language, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension) can be taught at at Tier 1 level. It is happening successfully in many schools in Ontario now.

Perry Klein from Western would have been a good contributor today. The OHRC’s Right to Read Report was clear, sharing the research on best practices to teach reading. Early screening is very important. Denise was right. Intervening early would prevent reading difficulties.

Quel honneur de voir @Alex_Andree_M se mériter une haute distinction de l'@IDA_Ontario. Tes énergies, ton altruisme, ton désir de voir réussir TOUS les élèves est contagieux. You want THIS warrior on your side if you ever need an advocate. #LitLearn2023 see you next year.

@unamalcolm @PatriciaRevel11 @OntHumanRights This is excellent, Una, a 'must read' for all Ontario (and Canada) teachers...

Let’s keep our operating rooms safe. Say no to replacing our scrub nurses with people with 10 weeks of training! Support the Ontario Nurses’ Association. Hamilton Health Sciences cannot continue this. https://t.co/01NO6ZSRWZ

@thismomloves @ehanford @natwexler @MickiLRay So NOT surprised, Kate! Your Aug 4 webinar about the 5 changes you made in your kindergarten class, resulting in all of your students reading was invaluable! See the recording - free! https://t.co/EUid9PyxNa, events, previous webinars or just the IDA Ontario YouTube Channel!

[Joanne Bertrand @joanneb_1977]

@FionaMattatall Totally agree!

[Joanne Bertrand @joanneb_1977]

@dyslexia_canada @msMargieRid Absolutely!

[Margie Riddell @msMargieRid]

What an amazing day of PD @IDA_Ontario has provided through the #R2RSymposium I think this should be PD for everyone (it takes a team) involved in education in Ontario. #OntarioEd You can still register to receive the recording and resources https://t.co/Ai7tSSWJk0

@eisraeldavis This is important!

[Joanne Bertrand @joanneb_1977]

@ONeducation @AliciaFromTiny @dyslexiaON It should be a collaborative effort based on the science of reading.

[Joanne Bertrand @joanneb_1977]

@Jason_To @lmdpepi The reading resources are based on the 3 cueing system. 30% of students can’t learn to read with this. I do like the concept of Universal Design - systematic, explicit and cumulative phonics, as well as rich literature are essential for some and beneficial for all.

[Joanne Bertrand @joanneb_1977]

@Jason_To Could we add resources that teach children decoding skills in reading?

"Minneapolis superintendent nearly lost his job. Four school board directors voted not to extend his contract. The only named concerns related to literacy. Graff held onto his job by only one vote." https://t.co/ApQ3BIjwFE

@sparkyb1 @BogochIsaac Absolutely, and let’s include hiking.

@moorhead_emily @IDA_Ontario @WinstonPSLDSB @SamasLauren You are amazing Emily! What a great example for all of us who want to teach our students to read and spell with an approach supported by the science of reading.
