I've spent the better part of the past 3.5 yrs reporting on how children are taught to read and what scientists have figured out about how children learn -- and the shocking disconnect.
In this presentation, I tell the story of what I've learned. youtube.com/watch?v=GO4_S26g…

FYI if you’re isolating/distancing @PamelaSnow2 & I will be posting vocabulary instruction videos this week that’ll fill 2 hours for you. If you follow up with the readings you could fill days. I’ll publish a blogpost on teaching vocabulary for reading comprehension Thursday too.
