My district assigned this podcast to all K-5 reading teachers for a PD activity today. Fascinating stuff, and so glad our district is moving away from the fallacies of Marie Clay & Lucy Calkins.

This request from the “58 literacy experts” never set well with me. Why? @FountasPinnell, @rrcna_org and @TCRWP have controlled the narrative for decades & now it’s time for them to listen to the voices they have failed & repeatedly ignored. Our kids are the rest of the story.

Many curricula, and especially @TeachersCollege Reading Workshop, put a premium on students writing about their own experiences, or topics they haven’t studied.
@natwexler explains how this is inconsistent with cognitive science.

Those kids who flew under the radar bombed my phonological processing testing by the time we actually found them - if we did.

Parents & Teachers, it’s time to let those levels go!! #KnowBetterDoBetter

“We cannot use special education as a solution to the number of students who are struggling to read. Embrace a model of prevention. Tier 1 instruction is key.” - Jack Fletcher, #dyslexiacon22

#SoR. This is why structured literacy is important. Not just for the 20% that may be dyslexic but for the 60% of students who don’t learn to read easily.
Clearly, Lucy doesn’t truly understand what #SOR is. It’s never been JUST about phonics. The “much too narrowly focused” issue is that her program ignored that component of reading acquisition, and instead of fluent readers, produced a bunch of guessers. #KnowBetterDoBetter

These are not just statistics, these are our students and children. We know what the implications are for these students. We need to work together to make changes and adopt effective tier 1 instruction and intervention.
(1/2) Listening to @ehanford #SoldaStory in pieces bc I get too fired up hearing what I’ve known for a while now beautifully laid out for the world. Started my #SOR journey shortly after becoming an LDT-C when I started learning about how reading acquisition actually occurs…
(2/2) That learning should have happened in college. I still think about the kids I could have done better for when I was in the classroom, but I’ve resolved ever since to #KnowBetterDoBetter
Join me - my soapbox has plenty of room on it 😉

Our children are not broken, the way we have been teaching them to read is.
Structured literacy, when rolled out properly in a district, will ensure 95% of our children read well and CAN THRIVE. Tier two ensures the remaining 5% THRIVE.
THRIVE.❤️
