I shared this video with my LETRS participants because the message is powerful!
We’ve listened to Sold a Story more times than I can count. But watching @ehanford’s new video experiment with the actual kids and families? It hits different.
Audio made us understand. Video made us feel it.
More, Emily. We're here for it.

The SLP at my school is amazing and I’m always in awe of her and the information that she provides and explains when we have child study, eligibility, and IEP meetings. She also does a beautiful job of connecting curriculum & interventionSLPs are heroes that deserve recognition!

“If you wait until 3rd grade to focus on reading comprehension, it is already too late.” — @SoniaCabell
The Science of Reading isn’t just about decoding. Language comprehension begins long before children can read independently. Vocabulary, oral language, syntax, and background knowledge can’t wait until later. Build both strands of the Reading Rope from day one. #ScienceOfReading #Literacy
