@GaleMorrisonEd @DePaulU Before folks attend, I do hope they will watch this fascinating 30-minute video from award-winning neuroscientist @StanDehaene on the brain and reading acquisition. https://t.co/fMBGdIrVVv
How does the brain actually learn to read? And can brain science help educators? YES! Watch this fascinating 30-minute video from @StanDehaene on the brain and reading acquisition.

@MiddleReading@KJWinEducation See Tennessee's Reading 360 free program. Implements the LETRS science in less time and with more direct help to teachers.
@CoreyJPeltier Tier 1 state math standards are the problem. States asking kids to solve problems their brains are not yet developed enough to solve is child abuse on a massive scale.
@CoreyJPeltier We need to stop calling kids disabled who are normal. Most state stds ask 1st graders to solve calcs the average age 7 does not have the working memory capacity to hold. 8+9 needs 3 slots. Most 7’s have 2. See last 2 pgs: https://t.co/eaMvXUQGvt
Great resource! Reid Lyon's 10 maxims of reading research and EXTENSIVE list of supporting articles, via @ReadingScience2@sstollar6

Mississippi is in the top 3 on the 2019 NAEP in 4th grade -- both Reading and Math -- adjusted for factors that matter. Good reading instruction works! Play with and ponder the fascinating data displays down the page at https://t.co/xrpHlfTg3U
"Due to stringent limitations in working memory (where the brain solves problems), mathematical problem-solving of any complexity requires applying well-memorized facts and procedures." https://t.co/RpyZR0wLnP
@DebraNeufeld2@P_A_Kirschner@greg_ashman@rcraigen How to learn math facts efficiently? See paper pgs 7 and 11. Similar to orthographic mapping?
Phonetic written languages are based on limited letter-sound correlations. Arithmetic is based on over 240 non-trivial facts for +-x/. For both, recall must be automated.
District implementation is essential to equipping teachers and students with high-quality materials and foundational skills. Our role is to ensure our districts and educators have everything they need to accelerate student achievement. #Reading360#TNReadingforAll
Tiny🧵 on teaching @ college/university setting.
My son is taking organic chemistry this semester.
He was worried but it's going fine. His fact has been powerful for him. It's 'the hard class.' He knows he can handle 'hard.'
The reason: His prof is a really good teacher...
Been delving into spacing effects on retrieval practice recently and really enjoyed @PoojaAgarwal's guide to the topic - highly recommended, characteristically clear, detailed and well evidenced.

The report of the Task Group on Learning Processes, chaired by David C. Geary, summarized the best causal evidence of how children learn math. https://t.co/cWvVXdqGxs
