Approaching ELA reading, writing, listening and language standards holistically provides students with the fullest understanding of the text #coreadvocates

[Donna Wood @wood3rd]

@achievethecore The Bottom Line: The text itself is where teachers and students should spend their time! #coreadvocates

[Student Achievement Partners @learnwithSAP]

A research study by McKeown, Beck & Blake (https://t.co/mgUPbOWjGB) took three student groups: a control group, a strategies focused group, and a content focused group and found when the questions focused on content, conversations were longer and better #coreadvocates

What does it mean to keep text at the center of instruction? #coreadvocates

[Student Achievement Partners @learnwithSAP]

There are 10 features that make a text complex; a text with more of these features will be more complex. Reading is a complex endeavor!! #coreadvocates

[Student Achievement Partners @learnwithSAP]

We're incredibly lucky to hear from tonight's #CoreAdvocates webinar hosts, Meredith Liben (@MJLiben) and Sue Pimentel as they discuss why and how text should be at the center of instruction!

“Students background knowledge is essential to comprehension...” how is this built? READ! Give students rigorous passages based out of science, social studies, arts, and real life and watch them succeed! #rigorrelevanceANDrelationships #curriculummatters #readreadread

[StandardsWork @Standards_Work]

"Research has documented what works to get kids to read, yet those evidence-based reading practices appear to be missing from most classrooms."

Be sure to read this excellent piece by @edukings @JaredMyracle @robin_mcclellan:

Professional development for teachers should focus on the actual content that students learn, explains @LouisianaSupe.

YES, @robin_mcclellan @JaredMyracle @edukings!

'Eds urgently need a natl movement for #professionallearning about reading. We should declare a No Shame Zone for this work—to make it safe for all eds to say, “I have unfinished learning around literacy.”'

Understanding the science of how the brain learns to read - what every reading teacher should know! #coreadvocates #foundationalskills #explicitsystematicsequenced

[Decoding Dyslexia MA @DDyslexiaMA]

What type of instruction your child receives matters! Is it explicit and systematically based on what brain scientists identify as building neural pathways? Some of the most common programs and methods are not. #BeBetterConsumersOfReading... https://t.co/CANkzbo6y7

[Donna Wood @wood3rd]

Great links to must-read literacy conversations! #coreadvocates #knowledgematters

[Karen Vaites @karenvaites]

Once @ehanford started the convo, literacy leapt to the pages of:
✔️ EdWeek
✔️ @nytimes
✔️ @WSJ
✔️ and many more

As a tsunami of coverage has explored the ways that 20 years of research hasn’t made it to (most) curriculum and many classrooms.
