I 💜Jamey. She fell into my lap at my lowest point trying to figure out what was going on with my dtr. I sobbed after talking to her the 1st time b/c she validated that everything I was seeing was true, that my thoughts were correct and I wasn’t crazy. She was a torch in the dark
Always working towards free, public education for all…hoping one day our children will truly be seen and provided with what they are rightfully due in order to succeed

We’ve got to stay above the noise and the insults. It’s hard and it’s taken me a long time but I’m trying to focus on what matters and moving our kids in a positive direction. “When they go low, we go high.”

There's a new book by elementary teacher @LindsayKemeny. It provides many good ideas for HOW to teach reading. Specific things teachers can DO. There's a clear explanation of the WHY. Lots of citations to research. Not about any one program.

Great thread. Listen to patients and believe them. Don’t be ashamed to say you don’t know but will find someone who can help them.
Why you should listen to and believe your patients. A ..
I saw a patient and diagnosed them with a common condition. However, I was wrong. How did I know I was wrong?
Because the treatment wasn’t helping and the patient was feeling worse. 1/

I call them Medicare disadvantage plans
I wasn’t even paying attention when they were calling out the President’s Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement honorees until I heard my dtr’s name. Thank you @NobleCrossing for recognizing that outstanding academic achievement is not measured by grades or scores alone.

“Their expectations for her were not the same as our expectations for her.”
Felt that…
My daughter's journey with dyslexia is incredible. She's All-State in softball, but this is her greatest hit.
Literacy really is the key.

I have tried to do better with my younger daughter who’s 8. She saw how she had previously written her name on the book, erased it, and rewrote her name. <3
My 5th grader asked me how I make a capital R. I showed her and she asked how I did that. I got out HWOT to show the steps, she was BLOWN AWAY by the book. “I don’t mean to be rude but I wish you’d shown me this a long time ago.” I’m sorry my dear, I assumed you knew 🥴

Definitely made me pause
Dyslexia as “unexpected” reading failure is discriminatory. For whom do we expect reading failure?! Certainly not for affluent white kids. Indeed, it’s been their “unexpected” reading failure that has catapulted the #ScienceOfReading The system needs rebuilding. #BlackMindsMatter

Well said
Determined to apply evidence based practices-not getting the support you need? Seek systems ready to benefit from what you can do. “If the people circling you aren’t supporting you, you don’t have a circle you have a cage.” #scienceofreading @NeuhausEdCtr

This Indianapolis school is making some amazing progress by truly transforming their educational approach to follow the science of reading.
We’re 🔥 LIT 🔥 talking about the science of reading this morning with @ReadingLeagueIN. The amount of educators who woke up on a chilly Saturday morning for the first Foundational Literacy Practice Clinic is inspiring!
Attended @ReadingLeagueIN’s Foundational Skills Practice Clinic today. I wasn’t sure if I was parking in the right place until I saw this license plate 🤣

I never dreamed I’d be spending the same amount as my college tuition to supplement my children’s elementary education
