PSA to ANYONE in the education space: ONE person in the building, trained in OG, is NOT enough to serve all of your struggling readers. YES! This is how I’m waking up!

@ANLiteracy She is so incredibly kind and truly invested in children, teachers, and schools succeeding.

I 💜Jamey. She fell into my lap at my lowest point trying to figure out what was going on with my dtr. I sobbed after talking to her the 1st time b/c she validated that everything I was seeing was true, that my thoughts were correct and I wasn’t crazy. She was a torch in the dark

“More practice isn’t as effective as providing the RIGHT practice.”

Always working towards free, public education for all…hoping one day our children will truly be seen and provided with what they are rightfully due in order to succeed

@Say_Dyslexia I need to know more about this example of fluvoxamine…

[Katie Shelton @KaitShelt]

Favorite part from @KJWinEducation’s keynote: Students need to know they can control something. That’s why the code is so important, they can master the code, they can control that.

It’s not magic, we are teaching the stuff.

Welcome to Indiana, Emily Hanford, #SoldAStory podcast reporter!

What an inspiring Saturday morning spent with a few hundred educators, parents & others focused on Science of Reading.

Thanks @ReadingLeagueIN, DecodingDyslexia, @MarianUniv & others for sponsoring this event!

"Math instruction must be systematic and explicit. Teachers need to give clear and precise instructions and introduce new concepts in small chunks while building on older concepts. Such approaches have been endorsed by dozens of studies..."https://t.co/AejpMoZBMk

@KarinMariaPsyD @ehanford I think back to behavior problems we had in K and 1st grade using UoS ~ we were asking kids to sit and ‘read’ or ‘write’ when they didn’t have the foundation to do either. Is it any wonder students misbehaved during these times? They were telling us, ‘I can’t do this!’ 💔

[Andrea Setmeyer @SetmeyerAndrea]

We’ve got to stay above the noise and the insults. It’s hard and it’s taken me a long time but I’m trying to focus on what matters and moving our kids in a positive direction. “When they go low, we go high.”

"...now you’re getting stories about The Science of Reading. It’s a grassroots movement. Walmart shoppers are suddenly knowledgeable about the scientific research on reading... (cont)

[Kareem J. Weaver @KJWinEducation]

@Ready4rigor For real. Lowering standards in the name of.... "whatever" is not a solution. No matter how you dress it up. Our kids can do it, as long as they get what they need.

They can excel.

[Kareem J. Weaver @KJWinEducation]

If you're the praying type... please pray for teachers returning to schools - their health, families, relationships, and the peace needed to see both the details in their work and the big picture in life.

Pray for consistent, sleep, joy, and patience.

For real.

[Kareem J. Weaver @KJWinEducation]

Should education leaders apologize for supporting a version of balanced literacy that used guessing and other ineffective approaches to reading instruction?
Yes.

That'd help reach people who also took the bait.
