Providing accommodations and modifications certainly help, but they are not a replacement for explicit reading instruction. Even for adolescents. https://t.co/CvURA6LydJ

“Our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent. We should not abet them and enable the deaths of thousands more Americans by allowing them to keep their jobs.” https://t.co/lRrglIdVwI

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson declares October Dyslexia Awareness Month. @AsaHutchinson @ArkansasEd #IDAParty

There is no more important job than teaching children to read. Their lives depend on it.

Well, here is a sweet nugget. A FREE phonics app developed by Haskins Lab. Complements any intervention program. Designed for 6-9 yr. olds, but for anyone needing practice with sound/symbol and blending.

You might want to move to Arkansas...@ArkansasEd just received a $38 Mil grant for ongoing LITERACY efforts. Proud of us! @JohnnyKey_AR @AsaHutchinson @audiealumbaugh @patriciajamesAR @eStemCEO @dallasgreen1in5 @mollykhumphries @HugginsLizbeth #ScienceofReading

[Patricia James @patriciajamesAR]

Something so simple, but so brilliant! The Simple View of Reading is supported by decades of empirical research, but discounted by so many. Why???
Decoding x Language Comp = Reading Comprehension #ArkansasRISE ⁦@AmberCJones⁩ ⁦@dallasgreen1in5⁩ https://t.co/MbR1AytApF

@RobinowitzCtr @DeeDrosenberg @SusanMi77955091 Awesome presentation for a side of Dyslexia that doesn’t get as much press! Could you please email me the handout? It isn’t loaded on the Conference app. [email protected] Many thanks!!

Louisa Moats at ##DyslexiaCon19:We need to insert the word ‘Language’ into the phrase: Structured LANGUAGE and literacy.#DyslexiaCon19 #dyslexia

Sharon Vaughn speaking at #DyslexiaCon19. Take away- You can’t teach Reading Comprehension. @dallasgreen1in5 @AmberCJones @eStemCEO

[Patricia James @patriciajamesAR]

@athorsen16 Yes, like @ehanford said at #DyslexiaCon19, AR is doing great things!!

[Patricia James @patriciajamesAR]

@ehanford was on the panel for #DyslexiaCon19. Two really cool things happened. She shouted out AR for doing really great things, along with MS, AND I got to meet her!! She said she might be coming to visit us soon. @AmberCJones @audiealumbaugh @dallasgreen1in5

@ERavNoy @ehanford @DTWillingham @markseidenberg @ReadingShanahan So proud of my State!!! #RISE #scienceofreading @ArkansasEd

[Patricia James @patriciajamesAR]

Don’t be a science denier! 2/3 of struggling readers don’t have physiological problems, such as dyslexia. They have insufficient exposure to lang/reading instruction- a gap any trained teacher could ameliorate. Case closed. #scienceofreading #RISE https://t.co/vqyErroUtl

[Patricia James @patriciajamesAR]

Wow, what a humbling way to end #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth!!

[eStem PCS @eStemPCS]

This week, we'd like to spotlight Mrs. James, our Dyslexia Coordinator district-wide! A parent nominated her, and we are excited to highlight her hard work!

If you have someone you'd like to nominate, please send us a message!

[Patricia James @patriciajamesAR]

@eStemPCS I’m honored and humbled. It’s a privilege to work for a system that is 100% invested in seeing that ALL students learn to read! EStem has taken huge strides to put in place an evidence-based structured literacy program implemented with fidelity. #FlagshipCharter #RISE

[Patricia James @patriciajamesAR]

@KelsieCarter91 SO darn proud of you!!!!
