As kids grow up, illiteracy becomes more of a problem.
Pernicious: having a harmful effect, especially in a gradual or subtle way.

This is how the literacy community is going to discuss the Act 20 curriculum list for the rest of time:
- The ones picked by experts
- The ones picked by lobbyists
@repborn @SenMarklein & JFC can still cut the Lobbyist Section out of there.

In Massachusetts’ richest towns, many top-ranked schools cling to outdated methods of teaching reading bostonglobe.com/2024/01/10/m… From @BostonGlobe @mandy_mclaren @NaomiMartin

Kids with dyslexia are no less intelligent than other children. They simply need tailored teaching, sometimes lots of it. But Parker’s school wasn’t giving him enough of the help he needed. 🧵bostonglobe.com/2024/01/11/m…

The state is failing to protect “something vital” when it declines to step in — a failing that he said would not be tolerated in other fields.
“If our doctors and nurses were not accountable,” he said, “people would be raising a pretty big ruckus.” 🧵bostonglobe.com/2024/01/11/m…

“No matter the curriculum used, too often, teachers are being asked to stick to a script and execute equal teaching, not equitable teaching. And equal teaching is illegal.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you, @EdSource, for publishing this op ed about the importance of differentiating instruction for multilingual learners and students with learning differences (with @Rodrigu3zMojica)

We continue to suffer from this travesty every single day. Think of all of the students whose lives would be different if we had gotten the adults out of the way of what works for children.
Project Follow Through was the most extensive educational experiment ever conducted. Despite Direct Instruction clearly outperforming other methods, it "was not endorsed or supported because the theory and methods espoused by Engelmann were inconsistent with the dominant thinking of American educators." psych.athabascau.ca/open/eng…

Have you ever listened to a podcast episode and found yourself screaming:
"Yes, that is exactly what I thought or exactly what I would have said/asked... and doing so out loud in an empty room?
Well, that is exactly how I felt listening to Faith and Judy...

When decoding skills are simply not enough for learning to read. A FANTASTIC new article by @markseidenberg in @educationweek:
“Print instruction isn’t sufficient if the child’s knowledge of spoken language is limited….Pre-K is a great time to ensure that children know their letters but an even better time to provide opportunities to hear, learn, and use the kinds of language that will be needed in school.”
Stay tuned for an upcoming video on how one school found a balance between teaching “the code” AND developing students’ content knowledge & vocabulary across ALL subject areas to improve achievement outcomes for all! @EdWeekTeacher @mme_frappier
