Today @NEPCtweet released a statement on the ‘Science of Reading.’ The email said: “It’s time for the media and political distortions to end, and for the literacy community and policymakers to fully support the literacy needs of all children.” nepc.colorado.edu/publicatio… 1/x

"The information has been with us for a long time, but this is the first time all of us are in a room, seriously considering using it."
Powerful statement about momentum for evidence-based reading, from @LouisaMoats to state Ed agency chiefs from 13 states. #ccssoliteracy

“If the pendulum swings back in the direction of phonics w/out a simultaneous change in the way we approach comprehension... (many may) inevitably say, as they have before, ‘You see? Phonics doesn’t work.’” Great piece from @natwexler
Recent coverage of reading has done a great job uncovering problems w/phonics instruction. But if we're going to help all kids read, it needs to mention that std comprehension instruction conflicts w/science. @ehanford @Stephen_Sawchuk @LianaLoewus 1/4

I highly recommend @markseidenberg's book if you're trying to understand what the "science of reading" is all about. It certainly isn't just phonics. seidenbergreading.net/

So we are doing a thing in my #PPCD classroom and we have torn 👏🏻 down 👏🏻 our 👏🏻 #wordwall and have replaced it with a #soundwall which is much more appropriate for my #earlychildhood #SpecialEducation students. More to come on this! @tools4reading @ELCSouth_KISD @KellerSped

Second grade teachers from every district in Oswego County have come together to learn from the amazing Dr. Maria Murray as she teaches about the importance of sound walls in reading and spelling instruction. “When we know better, we do better!” @OCLI_TRL @reading_league

Teachers literally spelling out their demands on the Capitol lawn. “Capitol gains!” Referring to the bill that would’ve closed a loophole in Capitol gains taxes to the tune of $100M-$120M for education

“Everyone’s brains learns differently.” Nice to believe. But is there any evidence that this is true?
