Check out the UFLI Foundations game generator app! Select one or more lessons and generate new games using words from those lesson. Games can be a fun way for kids to get the extra practice they need!

My statement below w/@bradhoylman on @GovKathyHochul misguided & cynical veto of the Dyslexia Task Force Act.
The Governor’s veto means NY will continue to rank among the worst states in the country for addressing dyslexia and implementing an evidence based literacy curriculum.

We can't wait to promote #LiteracyforAll with the @WNYEdAlliance! @weedentracy will join the impressive lineup of speakers for a day of learning more about the #ScienceofReading and how to change reading outcomes for the students of Western New York. bit.ly/3MHwo7A

Words, words, words. It's not all there is to reading. But knowing how to read words is essential. And teaching kids how to do it has been an afterthought in schools for too long.
We get to the bottom of why, in our new podcast. This is the video trailer. youtube.com/watch?v=QaG3dgZI…

iReady does not have a nationally normed ORF measure.
NWEA MAP does not have a nationally normed ORF measure.
STAR does not have a nationally normed ORF measure.
It’s a *really good idea* to have a nationally normed ORF measure Gr 1-5 e.g. DIBELS, Aimsweb, Acadience, Fastbridge

Here's why it matters that Heinemann is not releasing Lucy's revised curricula this fall:
1. It shows that market demands influence the content of published materials.
Heinemann heard from focal groups that the materials would not sell well.

With the 'literacy gap' widening, educators turn to the science of reading buffalonews.com/news/local/w…

It's time to ensure we screen and help students struggling with dyslexia and dysgraphia. The task forces' expert and parent recommendations would help us to achieve that goal. Thank you to @bradhoylman for sponsoring this bill. Finally we have a path forward.
#NYSenate Bill S441C, sponsored by Senator @bradhoylman, passed (61-0, unofficial). Establishes a dyslexia and dysgraphia task force and implementing the findings of such task force:

There are districts in WNY that are using Reading Recovery. It’s important for schools to re-examine this, & consider other ways to help struggling readers. @NiagaraErie @Erie1BOCES @E2CCB @BOCESofNYS @NYSEDNews #literacy #curriculummatters 1/

When we talk about the “Science of Reading,” what does that mean? More importantly, what impact can it make on WNY schools? A great FREE webinar this Sat with @janhasbrouck to learn more. #literacy #SoR #ELAchat eventbrite.com/e/the-science…

Ohio joins the growing list of states providing support for teaching #Reading effectively. @NYSEDNews - our students are being left behind! Reading is an #equity issue. 📚 coh.dyslexiaida.org/wp-conte…
