In October, we had 32 2nd grade students (20% of total Ss in the grade) who couldn’t identify 80% of their letter sounds in isolation. After 45 days of structured literacy intervention (35 min per day), all students now show mastery. #datamatters #scienceofreading

Yes!!!!

Important to differentiated leveled reading groups from differentiated instruction! Differentiate by skill; not level!!

@karenvaites @TimRasinski1 @ReadingShanahan @SoniaCabell @CattsHugh @janhasbrouck Anytime Karen! Have always been a fan of Hasbrouck and Tindal (as well as Rasinski--Hi Tim!) when it comes to fluency. A couple of easy-ish starters: https://t.co/geT57oQHDB

@karenvaites @LDH_ed @careads @DDCalifornia @meganbaci Do you have the link to the full text of the article? I’d love to read it all.

[Megan Potente @mgpotente]

A very worthy pursuit.Teachers need to be trained properly and schools need to stop investing in junk approaches and curricula. https://t.co/DS3pc0joU8

This is a must read! It is a necessity to put knowledge at the forefront of our curriculum in elementary. Yes you can teach science and integrate ela standards! Yes you can teach social justice and integrate ela! Let’s give students LOTS of new knowledge opps.

[Nell K. Duke @nellkduke]

Agree! Or to end the day for that matter!

This! This!…AND this again!! Reading multiple texts in the same topic grows vocabulary faster…as much as 4X faster!!!

This is now out - any admin, leaders, parents, who may not want to read the book, may like a 45 min watch of the ideas?

[Megan Potente @mgpotente]

It can be done. Low expectations have no place in our schools.

A Must Read!! The first two generations of curriculum mapping looked at inputs.. it’s time to focus on desired outcomes – what students should be able to do with their learning"

Tier 1 is comprehensive and should bring discrete skills together, so they become inseparable and entwined as the proficiency of reading develops. Reading, writing, speaking, listening, language standards are designed to be woven into an interconnected tapestry. #Tier1IsNotTier3

“A love affair with what has failed”

Perfect title for a piece in which the Chief Academic Officer in SFUSD, a district with horrible literacy performance, doubles down on continued use of lowest-rated ELA curriculum in US.

“We routinely teach “skills and strategies”—including many that have no evidence behind them.. while marginalizing other subjects like social studies and science that could build academic knowledge.” We have to build knwlg especially 4 Ss who live in poverty!

“Tier I prevention instead of a Tier II intervention”…I’d say Tier II intervention is absolutely necessary for some kids, but again goes back to that we can’t intervene out of a Tier I problem. Let’s be proactive & give teachers knowledge & tools (& time!) #CurriculumMattersMA
