"By defining reading as mastery of arbitrary skill sequences, pupils who read widely and with good comprehension may be undervalued, while pupils who perform well on isolated skill tests but who can't or don't care to read are lulled into complacency."

"As researchers in literacy education, we are particularly concerned when research is appropriated selectively, or misrepresented, to argue for a scientific certainty about how to teach every child to read..." (Reinking, Hruby, & Risko, 2023) @GovMikeDeWine @OHEducation

In Maggie Tokuda-Hall's words, her grandparents' "improbable joy does not excuse virulent racism, nor does it minimize the pain, the trauma, and the deaths that resulted from it. But it is to situate it into the deeply American tradition of racism." @emteehall

"The science of reading that is the focus of legislation, in-service teacher training, and other educational reform is a simplified version of reading research." (Seidenberg, Borkenhagen & Kearns, 2020, p.123). @OHEducation @GovMikeDeWine

All students deserve teachers who demonstrate fidelity to responsive teaching that meets their students’ individual strengths and needs, not to particular programs and products with flashy new labels and misleading, one size fits all promises.
@OHEducation @GovMikeDeWine Let’s look at what works, for whom, under what conditions? Schools need to be able to adjust curriculum based on student needs and strengths. We should also look to third-party, government based agencies: Evidence for ESSA & What Works Clearinghouse.
