An example of what can happen when explicit, systematic instruction is paired with data-focused differentiation. The data shows a 3rd grader who started 2nd grade in 21-22 reading 2 WPM on DIBELS. Throughout the course of the year his accuracy improved, and his WPM increased.
I so enjoyed volunteering at lunchtime today at Bollinger Canyon Elementary ! It's so wonderful to watch children play! as well as to be reminded of the magic of some ice and band aid! @BCEBulldogs
October is #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth month. Here is a well-done new video produced by the CA Dyslexia Initiative. Wouldn’t it be great if literacy leaders in every school district would watch!

Can’t wait for this special workshop on Thursday 9/22! Nystrom Elementary in W. Contra Costa USD is one of the 75 schools to receive an ELSB grant as an outcome of the Ella T settlement and is embracing #SOR and #StructuredLiteracy. @DDCalifornia @DebraPetish
California #literacy educators, don't miss this special workshop from @careads & LACOE: Join coach Margaret Goldberg and Principal Jamie Allardice of Richmond, CA's Nystrom Elementary to hear how they moved their school to a structured literacy approach. bit.ly/3qkP82s
With the amazing Margaret Goldberg @right2readproj as a reading coach, they are creating a model for shifting school-wide practice to #SOR to improve elementary reading. Can’t wait to hear more about what they are doing and results so far.
This is an interesting thread! @DebraPetish @malloy_john an interesting addition to our work in Deep Learning & Innovation
