Right to Read CT

Passed CT's #RightToRead legislation—requiring all districts to use the #ScienceOfReading, building a strong foundation in #EarlyLiteracy + narrowing inequities

[Right to Read CT @read_ct]

"Relatively few states — including @EducateCT, Tennessee and Virginia — have mandated state-approved literacy curricula as the Massachusetts bill would do."
👏👏👏 #SOR #literacy

"The #ScienceofReading Masterclass... builds local capacity... in GrK–3. Based on decades of reading research, this initiative provides professional learning + coaching aligned to the most effective methods of teaching literacy."

"At least in Connecticut, the so-called "reading wars" appear to have been settled in favor of phonics-based instruction."

[Connecticut Post @connpost]

Most CT school districts finally adopting 'Right-to-Read.' Five are still holding out https://t.co/Tdf1kiY3BU

[Right to Read CT @read_ct]

This #Juneteenth, we continue the fight for an equitable, inclusive education system that gives all students foundational #literacy skills and honors their #RightToRead.

▶️ "Kids are excited to bring home their work BC they've worked so hard... [They’re also] able to carry over the knowledge into science + social studies to learn about real world topics... that are really keeping the kids' interests alive."

Bravo @SuperNewtown + @EducateCT! 3/3

[Right to Read CT @read_ct]

Just some of the successes reported by @SuperNewtown's team as they implement Imagine Learning in #EL Gr. K-3:

▶️ "The teachers have begun to shift their mindset from, 'This is too hard,' to 'YES, the students can do the work...'" #scienceofreading 1/3

[Right to Read CT @read_ct]

▶️ "Teachers are working together to really understand the program, learn what is expected of the students, and sit together to... think about what they can do to best meet students' needs..."

Literacy skills seem to fuel literacy enjoyment, rather than vice versa
https://t.co/NuQC4njoq4 "The best-fitting direction-of-causation model showed that skills impacted enjoyment, while the influence in the other direction was zero."
