"Scientific research evidence doesn’t say DON'T teach comprehension skills and strategies explicitly; it says don’t ONLY teach comprehension skills and strategies explicitly." New blog post from @buckingham_j about the evidence.

After hearing @FarmerPhonics recommend a letter/sound song on @measuredmom’s podcast I reached out and asked for the details (it’s from @NessyLearning). I’ve been using it as a review for a couple of weeks now - just 2 min a day - and the kids love it!
