We have a problem and ā€œkicking the can down the roadā€ with another task force does nothing to solve it. Funding already exists for screening, the bill only asked that screeners meet specific criteria.
.@GovEvers vetoes Senate Bill 454, which would overhaul how schools respond to "at-risk" readers by increasing testing for young students and require educators to create a personalized reading plans. Democrats opposed the bill, in part, because it did not provide new funding.

An important study. Most of my older tutoring students come to me with teachers' concerns about "comprehension." But 99% of the time further testing reveals poor phonemic decoding. No one has ever mentioned that to the child or parent. That's where we start remediation.
So many reasons to check out this new article on children's reading trajectories. A few: 1. Very good overview of the reading research with lots of citations at the beginning. 2. Fascinating study relevant to the current "debate" 3. Not behind a paywall. rdcu.be/b10YR

#Reading is a social justice issue. If you’re committed to #equity then why wouldn’t you do what’s been shown to close #achievementgaps in other states? @TheFCRR did it, so can @WisDPILit tinyurl.com/qqvquzh

Landon and Isaac grew up just blocks apart in New York City. Isaac’s family put thousands of dollars toward getting him help. While Landon’s mom waited for pro bono aid, his school spot was taken by someone else. bit.ly/2HakQsp

Everyone Reading Conference power moment: Dr. Linnea Ehri listening to David Kilpatrick talk about her model for *remembering* (not just decoding) words & clarifying the importance of PA (not just blending) for word reading as the NRP stated. #scienceofreading @GC_CUNY

Whoa! @WisconsinDPI Superintendent Stanford Taylor says DPI will put more focus on explicit systematic phonics instruction to improve Wisconsin students’ reading abilities. This is the first time I’ve heard this from DPI amid a national debate about reading instruction. @DDWI13
