As a grade 1 educator I saw the most student success with this model. Unless a child had a modified IEP, students received scaffolded grade level Tier 1 reading instruction. After, spec Ed & myself both provided in class Tier 2 support to fill foundational reading skill gaps.

[Parents for Reading Justice @Parents4RJ]

🚨 ALL children — including those with dyslexia and English language learners — deserve access to core instruction.
Not alternative programs. Not pullouts. Not a seat at the back of the room.
RIGHTFUL PRESENCE. 👊

✅ Tier 1 instruction must be inclusive
✅ Services pushed IN — not pulled out
✅ Trained teachers delivering core curriculum to EVERY child.

Missing core instruction is not intervention. It’s exclusion. Two educators. Two coasts. One urgent conversation. 🎧: https://t.co/TW8rBfkGOa

The next viral trend should be kindness, empathy & connection

Leveled reading is so intuitive, but so misguided. In his new book, Timothy Shanahan makes the case for on-grade text, and against leveled reading. #education #teachersoftiktok #reading #literacy #principalsoftiktok

@KJWinEducation So often missed in our conversations about improvement. Excuses have become much more accepted, expectations seen by some as cruel because Johnny had a rough childhood. Truth is, one of the most loving thing you can do for someone is to maintain high expectations

On an upcoming episode of Literacy Now:

We visited Allison Taylor, a 2nd grade teacher in @MariettaCitySch, GA, and she documented an  almost 60% drop in bad behavior after implementing Science of Reading based UFLI + Wit & Wisdom.

Teachers could teach. Kids learned to read.

Turns out literacy might be the most powerful behavior intervention we have.

[Zach Groshell @MrZachG]

Thank you @SBAENetwork for the invitation to discuss “belief-based” vs. “evidence-based” education.

The key difference, for me, is simple: if research started supporting minimally guided learning, the evidence-based response would be to adopt it.

[Raquel Champagne @raqluvsliteracy]

@SorforMore We just finished our Acadience Screening. Perfect timing!

[Raquel Champagne @raqluvsliteracy]

Thank you @SorforMore I am going to share this with the teachers that I support in my priority school!

[Justin Browning @SorforMore]

How are you using the ORF to determine instructional needs?

[Raquel Champagne @raqluvsliteracy]

@MelK_Ed Learning is fun!

[Raquel Champagne @raqluvsliteracy]

@MelK_Ed Love this!

[Raquel Champagne @raqluvsliteracy]

@MelK_Ed Can we bring back time on task too? I’m all for spirit days but when they come at the cost of core literacy and numeracy instruction, I have a problem! Can we prioritize instructional time? Our students deserve it!

[Raquel Champagne @raqluvsliteracy]

@MrsPallone @openupresources As a former grade 1 teacher this warms my heart 💜. Wow!

[Raquel Champagne @raqluvsliteracy]

@karenvaites Amazing! When we teach writing explicitly and hold the bar high our young grade 1s rise to the occasion!

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Teachers, it’s okay to have a lesson plan fall apart sometimes. Tacos fall apart and we still love them! 🌮🤣

[Raquel Champagne @raqluvsliteracy]

@MmeLockhartLDS Amazing!

[Raquel Champagne @raqluvsliteracy]

@ESL_fairy I’m grateful that in my role as a consultant that I am attached to a priority school and I get to work with kids!

[Knowledge Matters @KnowledgeMatrs]

If students struggle with writing, the fix isn’t “longer essays.” It’s explicit sentence-level practice that builds clarity and knowledge. Powerful from @natwexler today.
