Something I am grateful for? I learned to read easily. I'm a fast reader. It's helped a LOT on this project. I have read hundreds of articles/books about the science of reading over the past 5 years. I recommend 10 things here (was SUPER hard to choose).

What skills has a child mastered when they are reading at a level D , G or J? What skills are they missing? Leveled reading DOES NOT tell me where their weaknesses are. #AssessBetter #StructuredLiteracy #SoR #EvidenceBasedPractices
David Liben just described leveled reading groups as "@FountasPinnell Apartheid."
Whew.
It's true, tho.

Many people procrastinate because they're waiting for their motivation to rise.
They forget that getting started is what leads their motivation to rise.
Passion is not a prerequisite for progress. It's often the result of progress.

In this @EdWeekTeacher article it discusses taking leveled text & repurposing them as "knowledge bins", the exact way Lisa Flute so expertly did in transforming the book room @ North Side Elem.! Watch how she did it here: youtube.com/watch?v=ZuY72sF7…

"Knowing the syllable type, the reader can better determine the sound of the vowel in the syllable. Syllable division rules heighten the reader's awareness of where a long, unfamiliar word may be divided for great accuracy in reading the word." @ReadingRockets

"Using decodable text in the earlier stages of literacy instruction ensures that a student has the skills to read without guessing." @IDA_Ontario
