1/2 I commend to you a superb new book (available online for free) by literacy experts Rob Tierney & David Pearson: "Fact-Checking the Science of Reading." It provides a meticulously detailed, scrupulously fair-minded review of SoR claims: literacyresearchcommons.org

Most frequent qs I get these days is how is dad & what he’s up to. This great piece by @kkirkup in @globeandmail answers these & more :) ❤️ theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

I'm so grateful that so many brilliant educational minds are refuting the story that media and gullible followers spread using opinion as shallow justification. It makes me feel hopeful for brighter days ahead. readingrecovery.org/marie-clay-a-p…

Tonight! At @mcnallyrobinson Grant Park!

Discredit others to make a name for yourself? Consider renowned & respected literacy expert Dr. P. David Pearson’s take on Marie Clay’s legacy. Don’t be sold a story.

"the strategies for 1st grade vs those strategies that you need for success in 3rd and 4th gr, they could look quite different. I do think that it behooves all of us, anybody that's involved in education to try to continuously improve." stoked to be part of that w/ @RRNA_HUB

"Beliefs about literacy learning in general influence how the term “phonics” is conceptualized and used." (Harmey & Bodman, 2020) @GovMikeDeWine @OHEducation

“Literacy acquisition is a complex process for which there is no single key to success. Teaching phonemic awareness does not ensure that children will read and write. Many other competencies must be taught for this to happen.” (NRP, 2000, p.2-7) @OHEducation @MikeDeWine

@susanoha @washingtonpost Disappointing- nothing fresh or nuanced here. Inaccuracies & simple takes again, sigh. If phonics was the answer all children would be able to read and we wouldn’t be talking about this anymore. Phonics is necessary but not sufficient & this has been known for a very long time.

This is an exciting opportunity for our pre-service teachers and partner schools. @OSULitCollab @OHEducation
