Teaching reading to older students; critical for students w/ #dyslexia. Often teachers in MS/HS are tasked w/ undoing guessing habits formed over years of using three-cueing & other discredited teaching methods #DAM

[Parents for Reading Justice @Parents4RJ]

We thought administrators knew about the science of reading and were denying our children services. Turns out they didn’t really know about it and once we enlightened them we have become partners in our work to ensure every child learns to read! @ehanford

Facts

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

What is happening in classrooms is not adequately preparing the majority of students to read. An awareness of this reality is growing, the initial push for dyslexia legislation has morphed into efforts to exact changes to address this larger issue. https://t.co/5Tt7zs3vMm

Leadership is not being in charge, it is about taking care of people in your charge. - Simon Sinek

Skilled reading is not a "strategic process" contrary to what many teachers are taught/ pick up in popular curriculum materials. https://t.co/z963CQaHaf

"Word recognition needs to quickly become a low-cognitive-demand skill – stored in long-term memory and accessed automatically. The acquisition of such skills should not be over-complicated by using working memory more than is necessary." https://t.co/z963CQaHaf
