Is it consistent to say:

1. Reading tests mostly measure knowledge & vocab,
AND
2. We should call them "reading" tests rather than "knowledge" tests?

A bunch of states are now ensuring kids get systematic phonics--which is great. But what about building the knowledge & vocab that enables comprehension?

States need to focus on that too--& some are.

A colleague told me someone referred to #SoR as a cult. Use their words 👉🏻 It’s time to start referring to “the cult of Lucy Caulkins and Fountas and Pinnell”. The dogma promoted by these folks has gone on far too long.

“So many teachers like me have believed that a professor at Teachers College, an Ivy League institution, should be up-to-date on the reading research. The fact that she was disconnected from that research is evidence of the problem.” https://t.co/hVgZHXVFil

How is it going? This November came fast. So strange how we feel time. It’s doesn’t change. It just keeps going the same way, but we always feel it differently. #mondayramblings https://t.co/ndEUKVGbss
