Great paper from @amandavande1 & @burnsmk1: “Four Screening Myths that Cause More Harm than Good in Preventing Reading Failure & What You Can Do Instead”

“MYTH 1: More Screening Can Only Improve Correct Identification of Students With Dyslexia”

Looking at you, #OklaEd #OklaLeg.

@amandavande1 @ehanford We need to get the science of math instruction to teachers now. Teachers need the information on the real science and not what they hear from popular “thought leaders.”

[Amanda VanDerHeyden @amandavande1]

Targeting student motivation or ways to help students organize their work & work harder, is not the right solution & will only worsen gaps. Making sure ALL have access to science-backed core instruction in reading, writing, & math (& making sure all students grow) is key.

[Amanda VanDerHeyden @amandavande1]

And math! Average grad rate for 4-year degree (NCES) is 60% in 6 years. Major risk factor for not finishing: taking remedial math. Koon’s (2019) excellent study showing access to rigorous course sequences in HS is not sufficient. Children have to have the skills to benefit.

[Seattle Times Education Lab @educationlab]

How do you teach kids to read? What's worked for you? What do you still have questions about? Join a conversation with reading experts and teachers hosted on The Seattle Times. You can find resources and hear about other people's experiences. https://t.co/oU4zRUKvbw

[Julie Bedell @juliebedell]

I am also honored to be part of this discussion!

[Pam Kastner @liv2learn]

[The Reading League @reading_league]

Is there such a thing as a perfect reading program? The 🔑 is teacher knowledge. “Just handing teachers materials or a program or a curriculum is not going to do the job,” says TRL’s @drheidibc. Read more: https://t.co/GLyMxwRErG

Kilpatrick: All skilled readers can sound out nonsense words. Period. #TRLConf2019

[Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D. @janhasbrouck]

Emily Hanford’s talk @reading_league conference is EXCELLENT (of course). She just said the KEY is understanding reading is understanding orthographic mapping!👍 #TRLConf2019

[Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D. @janhasbrouck]

So PROUD to be part of ReadWA! Continuing the work of @reading_league and @ehanford

@rdaugherty73 @ehanford Actually no they don’t.

@SeaPubSchools Looks beautiful!

@GinaCookeLEX I’m not saying I know, but I think it has to do with the etymology of a word? I would love to know if you don’t mind explaining.
