Students don’t need a flux capacitor to strengthen their learning; they just need time. This month, we’re tapping into the power of retrieval and spaced practice, two powerful tools for turning short-term learning into long-term understanding. @BASDLiteracy4Me @BASD_Reads

Today is #NationalSchwaDay! 🎉 Founded by Yvette Manns, it celebrates the most common vowel sound in English—the schwa /ə/! Her book "The Not-So-Lazy Schwa" brings the sound to life, helping to make phonology & morphology accessible to young learners. 📙: bit.ly/43GUUQQ

Tell me why… students struggle with deeper thinking? This month, we’re rephrasing questions to make “why” the key to unlocking critical thinking. With the right strategies, students won’t just answer—they’ll analyze, connect, and want it that way! @BASD_Reads @BASDLiteracy4Me

You might not see your impact, teachers – but it's definitely there.
"I got an unexpected email from a middle school student I had twenty years ago. Out of nowhere, she reached out to thank me and said I was the teacher who made a difference. We don't always see the impact we have. But just because we don't see it doesn't mean it isn't powerful." —Educator Alison Collins

I’m so grateful to @ehanford for shining a light on what works! Also thrilled to know it’s what we’ve known for 30 years, back when we implemented Reading First - evidence-based instruction targeted at current skill levels with relentless pursuit of outcomes by the end of grade 1

New episode of Sold a Story available now. Episode 11: The Outlier There's a school district in eastern Ohio where virtually all students become good readers by the time they finish third grade. How did they do it? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
