@tombennett71 This is like an absurd satire of speed-reading courses which teach you to cut out subvocalisation and skim & scan your way through texts. https://t.co/jmPuQevY2l

@tombennett71 Was a great event with lots of fascinating sessions. Hope you will be back before too long.

@DavidDidau This was an interesting read, thanks. I wonder if the consistent impact of reciprocal reading is due to it instilling the habit among students of taking the initiative in making sense of texts? It’s a pretty key element of reading comprehension.

@C_Hendrick This is a really helpful and interesting thread. For invariant 2 though, I wonder if it is sometimes helpful to move forward and circle back, rather than staying stuck on one point and becoming increasingly frustrated about it?

@larissaphillip Brazzaville Beach.

@ThatYuta Yes, this is the exact same analogy that I use.

@benbeechphoto Ito?

@greg_ashman Thanks for the interesting thread. The concepts you mention are also becoming more widespread in East Asia, with an increasing focus on competency and inquiry based learning in recent years. https://t.co/9y29reUd4R

@MaryMyatt Would love to see if this research can be replicated.

@eduleadership I think that it was tough to know what to do during 2020. But by 2021, a clearer picture was emerging. https://t.co/eBU7qjkTyZ

@benbeechphoto But in separate futons - not in parent’s bed. Just same room.

[Robin Skipsey @Skippy_1971]

@benbeechphoto Yes, in Japan. And yes, it seems pretty common. Wife’s cousin’s family were sleeping in same room until even older. But end of Elementary school seems to be a common time for kids to move into own rooms.

[Robin Skipsey @Skippy_1971]

@benbeechphoto Youngest has recently moved into own room.

[Robin Skipsey @Skippy_1971]

@benbeechphoto No, at different times. Now 12 and 15.

@KoalaEnglish180 This time, it’s not a great illustration, to be honest. It’s not a question of degree or percentages. “That must be in play” = the speaker thinks that being in play is important. “That would be in play” = if the rules were different.

@MichaelRosenYes @Lalwendeboggart @clpe1 @charliehacking Is it harder for deaf people to learn how to read?
Research shows it is harder for deaf people to learn how to read than for hearing people. They usually start as slow readers because they are unable to subvocalize. Deciphering by images or signs is significantly harder…

@UnseenJapanSite Think that we should take that EF Education ranking with a reasonably-sized pinch of salt. In 2011 EF had Japan on the same level of proficiency as Hong Kong and Switzerland, and above Spain. https://t.co/0HzEymIifv

@ScholarshipfPhd This pyramid is pseudoscience and has been thoroughly debunked.
