via@ReadingForum_Ed This week, we are excited to share "Helping your child become a reader" by Donna Scanlon and her colleagues. The link is below, and, as always, we appreciate your sharing our posts thereadingforum.com/helping-your-c…

Education leaders- are you familiar with the Instructional Hierarchy? Understanding it is key to making informed decisions for our schools. #instructionalleadership #scienceoflearning ⁦@amandavande1⁩

T @lamb_heart_tea's Ss get two opportunities to reflect on their study strategies: one before the exam and one after! docs.google.com/file/d/17UH7Xp… #BiteSizedPD

Some news: Alongside my (amazing) co-authors @EricaWoolway & @ColleenDriggs I've just finished a new book, "The TLAC Guide to the Science of Reading." Here's a bit more about it:

I created this padlet that is full of 63 free adolescent literacy resources from PaTTAN. I offered it freely, no barriers, as I do ALL of my padlets and wakelets weeks ago. You can access it in full here: padlet.com/pkastner/secon…

@LauraMcGowen3 @eduleadership I appreciate the references to 95% but always understood them to be mainly aspirational (and drawing from small studies) instead of evidenced with replication or scaling in actual classrooms... is there actually any robust evidence for 95% across classrooms?

@eduleadership Is it though? If direct, systematic, explicit instruction has an over 95% success rate for children to learn to read efficiently, then why wouldn’t it be lack of Tier 1? The difference in demographics often is kids in higher socioeconomic areas can afford the tutoring.

If virtually all students can be taught to read, why do so many slip through the cracks? It comes down to the availability of intensive intervention.

Many of you might be aware that I've been posting annual "Best" lists since 2010 covering many different education-related topics. I'll start sharing 2024's lists soon, but in the meantime you might or might not want to peruse all the past lists here larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2019/10/05/all…

Are you having trouble meeting the needs of ALL of your readers? 💙 8th grade teacher, Emily Jaskowski, developed a fluency small group protocol that helped ALL of her students improve! 💯 Listen to Emily talk about this in our latest podcast episode 🎧ow.ly/TSxf50U7LQ6

@Parents4RJ @reading_league I trust that folks retweeting this know that stages of grief work cited here was based on case-studies from the 60s that haven't held up to replication and may be better understood as a bit of a myth. Lots of citations and discussion available via a quick google search.

This graphic is spot on because it equates the loss of a teacher’s ‘ philosophy’ or deepest understanding of how children learn to read with loss of a loved one. If nothing else Lucy and F&P were masters at indoctrination. Our teachers need grace to heal. @reading_league

@FaithBorkowsky @BoksnerJudy @devin_kearns IMO this goes well with Ep 61. Re comments about how research extrapolations can be mistakenly interpreted as evidenced reminded me of how researchers can do this too. (e.g.: current push for sound walls). A good reminder to read/consume critically. Thx for pulling together!

@burnsmk1 @amandavande1 I'm not questioning this but do have a tough time making sense of the different assertions I hear about the value of thinking about instructional level this way (I'm assuming something like 90% accuracy) and assertions to use grade level text with scaffolds instead...

@amandavande1 David Parker and I compared difficulty to interest in reading. Difficulty had an effect but interest did not.

When you give students the "right" task difficulty in instruction, engagement & completion goes up. When math ed trainers act like an interesting task is what accounts for engagement, they are missing a really important ingredient which is child proficiency.

Partner reading and paragraph shrinking led to large effects with 86 8th graders randomly assigned to treatment or control group. Effects were + regardless of student variables (EL, SPED, FRPL). @McDuesenberg @Romeromonica28 @ILAToday @CECMembership @reading_league @NCILiteracy

Academic jargon is suffocating your understanding of concepts. Your writing lacks depth because you don't understand these terms. I've got your solution: Repost & reply 🎓 I'll DM you this handy guide in Google Sheets to explain scientific terminology (must be following).
