“Spoken language is “hard-wired” inside the human brain.”
But reading is not.
“Only 13 percent [of US adults] are classified as ‘proficient’ [readers].”
Read the article on the necessary oral language development during the journey to skilled reading.

Check out these research highlights on blending from Wiley Blevins' books Differentiating Phonics Instruction for Maximum Impact.

This has been an incredible week—incredibly fulfilling and exhausting!
I got to interact with so many middle and high school teachers who are hungry for support, who began transforming their learning during my sessions into something they can own and implement next year.

"Students' ability to read nonfiction texts depends on their prior knowledge, and the act of reading nonfiction adds to their knowledge base and helps them learn more from subsequent reading. We need to find ways to weave prior knowledge into our students' reading." -Doug Lemov
Dickinson is the height of American poetry, but Donne’s sonnet weaponizes the Gospel against Death with a clever intellect. I have to go with “Death Be Not Proud”!
