@BrentHodgson Noting here that most of the comments on this post are from middle class white men…just saying this is simply an analogy to highlight how ridiculous it is to argue that person centred voice is not required when moving forward as a progressive anti racist and anti sexist society

@9NewsMelb @CQU @DougalBeatty Researchers would be best placed to work with education departments who are focused on implementation of the science of reading to track and monitor changes in teacher knowledge and understanding that leads to changes in practice and resulting in improved student outcomes

@9NewsMelb @CQU @DougalBeatty 2 of 2 ..teach the building blocks of orthography to all learners. Changing the age without changing teaching knowledge and practice will not lead to better literacy outcomes for students. We can also decrease vulnerability in language at the same time as teaching all to read.

@9NewsMelb @CQU @DougalBeatty 1 of 2 I think Sue’s research is based on comparison of English orthographic complexity to other non English languages where, as she states, children learn to read in weeks to months and not years. Explicit and systematic instruction of the code is how we simplify English to…

#SPAconf tier 2 - not different, more intensive and targeted with transfer of phoneme practice into decodable readers late in the lesson

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf performance on non word spelling (ie transfer) is key to identifying children who need tier 2 as well as tier 1

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf quality early literacy instruction at universal classroom tier 1 = 40 minutes x 4 times a week for 10 weeks

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf don’t wait to fail - close progress monitoring of early literacy means responses to teaching can be targeted and at the right intensity to support children’s literacy progress.

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf minimum number of tasks for maximum impact

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf monitoring early literacy - partnerships with teachers that celebrate success and identify next steps

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf for the $10million investment the return was $382 million - for every $1 invested, a $38 return - that’s the economic benefit of the better start literacy approach

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf look at that acceleration transfer from decoding to encoding in spelling - awesome!

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf better start literacy approach first benefits all children. Those with communication difficulties need more tier two focused at word decoding and encoding skills and then they accelerate

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPA conf impressive acceleration - those that had quality teaching for 10 weeks maintained the gain at the end of the year

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf using data in strength based ways - focusing on effect of explicit teaching of key literacy skills

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf and BOOM multi tier systems of support response to teaching framework - in Qld, DOE whole school approach to differentiated teaching and learning

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf but was does Better Start Literacy Approach look like?

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf reimagining community engagement - strengths based - what they can do and next steps for learning. Music to my ears! Let’s change the way we view our children as capable of learning - our job is to provide the opportunities for ALL children to flourish

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf braiding western and First Nations knowledges to accelerate early literacy success - looks like person centered, strengths based, culturally informed and effective teaching and learning

[Bron Reguson #WeSpeechies #SpeakUp4CommRights @reguson]

#SPAconf change the narrative for First Nations people - what helps them flourish at school. Strengths based and aspirational teaching practices.
