📖 What a conversation.
@nelliet11 led a powerhouse panel diving into the new update of Reid Lyon’s 10 Maxims — the guiding principles that have shaped and will shape how we understand reading instruction for years.
Joining her: Noel Gunther, @DrElsa_CHagan, Kelly Butler, @StacyHurst15, and Nickie Nelson. 🔥
When voices like these come together to unpack what’s changed and why it matters, everyone in the room was locked in.

I have just completed a series of four professional development videos on the subject of teaching effective whole-class reading lessons.
These videos contain high-quality footage of me teaching each part of the reading lesson structures from Primary Reading Simplified.

“Is it Science of Reading aligned?” gets asked all the time.
But as @HollyLanePhD reminded us at Right to Read Ireland, the better question is this:
“Is there strong evidence—and how strong is it?”

"Programs are bloated with useless activities that do nothing to promote learning, and few programs these days have children actually reading real books or tackling content of substance."
"I have heard it said that most programs nowadays are designed to be successful in curriculum adoption processes, not in the classroom. I concur with that statement."
"We need safeguards in place" on the quality of materials.
