@ehanford @LianaLoewus I think this article raises important points that practitioners are feeling in the classroom. In the name of the science of reading, some curriculums include 30 to 45 minutes of teacher-lead explicit instruction on phonics patterns that leaves little room for reading practice.

No school has been moved forward by a weekly email, nor meetings in which teachers are re-told the contents of emails.

Principals: stop saying things like “we need to see more x y and z” and instead personally model what teachers should do, and unpack/rehearse it together.

@Region10ESC This was one of the best conferences I’ve been to—and we all received books written by the presenters themselves! What a learning experience! Thank you Region10🤗

“It’s unfair to ask teachers to both design and implement materials that employ all of the unsung heroes.”

📚 Curriculum is key to reading comprehension, and it’s time we treat it like the hero it is.

Fantastic article by Linda Kimoton on multi-sensory instruction. I would go so far as to suggest that this may be the biggest myth in the SOR movement.

#HB2 by Buckley has passed the #txlege with a unanimous vote in the Texas Senate. A historical funding of public education but I'd like to shine a light specifically on the landmark #earlynumeracy policy in the bill. #txed

"We are basically technology free in my classroom….and in most of our school. I’d say it’s another reason why the kids are so attentive and engaged."
