I am an advocate for struggling readers.

There’s a new video - for kids - on learning to read and why it’s hard for many people. It’s from ⁦@Brains_On⁩. Good summer watching! Share with the children in your life. https://t.co/xUTLT8Lbdg

“I became intrigued by the failures in reading after listening to a riveting six-part podcast, ‘Sold a Story,’ that argues passionately that the education establishment ignored empirical evidence and unintentionally harmed children.” https://t.co/6QVpbRLXLc

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

“Reading may be the most important skill we can give children,” writes @NickKristof. Yet “eighth graders today are actually a hair worse at reading than their counterparts were in 1998.” https://t.co/rcE25hnjjn

"The science of reading isn’t a quickly mastered program or off-the-shelf curriculum. It isn’t a fad or some phonics program. It’s a term referring to vast amounts of scientific research that span several disciplines." https://t.co/5R4LoScMen
