See page 25 for a summary of the news from Thorp Schools, “well ahead of the curve” using the #ScienceOfReading to improve outcome for all students AND close #AchievementGaps at the same time.
The March issue of Wisconsin School News is now online. It's a close look at the 99th State Education Convention, with stories on its sessions, themes and keynote addresses.

Had a great time sharing the news about how #Wisconsin can become a leader in elementary #reading once again AND close #achievementgaps achieve #equiy using #scienceofreading
Listen to @humphries4kids @Wisconsin_CARE discussing #reading and #literacy instruction based on #ScienceOfReading in WI including #dyslexia and the call to audit @WisDPILit. #elachat @WISCTV_News3 @WBAY @emilyrfiles wclo.com/episode/2-21-2020-o…

#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
Our quest continues. Latest news: @WisconsinDPI working on standards and statewide support—declines meeting with representatives of our group. Too bad—we’ve got experience, research, and great ideas.
Wisconsin has its first #dyslexia law. But that’s not the end of the road for advocates who want Wisconsin to do a better job helping struggling readers. I joined @wuwmlakeeffect to talk about other recent developments. @DDWI13 @Wisconsin_CARE wuwm.com/post/push-rethink-r…
Check out this new article —including quotes by WI-CARE founding member @markseidenberg! Our group is not alone—there are people advocating for the Science of Reading all across the nation.

1: The problem. Wisconsin isn’t successful in teaching reading. Yes we have terrible #achievementgaps. We also have low proficiency even in our best schools. Parents see school data. Instructions here: wisconsin-care.org/s/How-to-… #wicare @WIReading @Thiesfeldt @markseidenberg
