I’m excited to share the news! @NancyYoung_ and I co-edited a book about Nancy’s wonderful infographic. Numerous chapter authors provide evidence-based guidance to support ALL learners in reading and writing. Dr. Reid Lyon called it “a masterpiece”! benchmarkeducation.com/y5736… – at Seattle, WA

Ok @NDIS I'm going to reverse engineer your responses to families. You keep telling people that Developmental Language Disorder is NOT lifelong. I've provided 100s of references - can you provide 1 peer reviewed article to support the comments from your assessors? #DevLangDis

What are your best sources for books that provide a gentle introduction to 'normal' texts (i.e. non-decodable) for older readers still at the early stages of reading proficiency? (If you can't help, but are interested in the answers, please retweet.)

I am loving working on this new, very young strand of books with Macmillan. Cat Nap, Bird Bath, Hippo Potty and Chick Pea are an absolute joy to draw, and I’ve just received the green light to start on the final illustration for Cat Nap, which will be the first in this series.

Hello #slpeeps. Can you help? I am looking for research reports or journal articles on what attracts SLPs (or Allied Health Prof) to work in school settings and/or non-metro locations. Bonus if research is Australian. #SLP2b #SchoolSLP #RuralRemote
