What would happen if we poured resources into K-1? Increased training and pay for primary teachers? Could we get all students to proficiency?

@Cabal_Educator Kids are fun! The science of learning is also fascinating to me. Also, quite honestly, having young children myself, the flexibility of summer is such a gift. I still work in the summer, but control how much and when. I will always look back fondly on summers with my kids.

Both ARE true:
1-Decoding instruction must urgently change to match research.
2-Other critical skills are necessary to be a proficient reader.

@NancyEBailey1 @MrsRteaches @mrbgilson Because that’s like saying I could play football if I just played for my favorite team without regard for the skill required to actually play football.

[Joanna Cree @jocree]

@NancyEBailey1 @MrsRteaches @mrbgilson Are you trying to say that kids wouldn’t struggle with stamina if the books were their choice?

Dear letter writers
I’ve read your letter to the editor about “Sold a Story,” and honestly ended up confused. I would be grateful for further explanation. I explain my failures to understand your argument in this thread.

@GenatherealOG @NancyEBailey1 That’s not reading, that’s interpreting, analyzing, inferring. Reading is “the action or skill of reading written or printed matter silently or aloud.”

Can’t believe we’re doing this shit again
