What is the science of reading for ELL students? In this article, I review 15 meta-analyses on the topic of ELL literacy instruction. teachingbyscience.com/esl  Note* Effect sizes are color coded in this graph based on quality. Green being the highest and orange being the lowest.

Phonemic awareness is a hot topic in the reading world (one of many. Picture books anyone!?). Take a listen to Dr. Brady share the most current research. Eg. We want to zero right in on PA and connect it to letter knowledge (not best done in the dark). podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/tri…

I don’t pay a lot of attention to right-wing USA politics. But I really mind that Marjorie Taylor Green is comparing Donald Trump to Nelson Mandela, because of both men being arrested. I really mind that.

People are testing large language models (LLMs) on their "cognitive" abilities - theory of mind, causality, syllogistic reasoning, etc. Many (most?) of these evaluations are deeply flawed. To evaluate LLMs effectively, we need some principles from experimental psychology.🧵

Dates will be had with 29 year olds. Maybe Dutch men are less problematic than South African men.

I have stopped using the phrase "Science of Reading" entirely. It's hackneyed, overused, and invalidly claimed by individuals whose programs are NOT research-based. In this light, I invite you to read @markseidenberg's new piece, excerpted below. The full article can be found here. markseidenberg.wordpress.com/2023/03/31/abo… My own blog on David Kilpatrick can be found here: parkerphonics.com/post/the-kilpa… @reading_league

Education is improving but the message is hard to convey. This is a really important, beautifully written article. Changes are small. Progress is slow but steady. econ3x3.org/article/educat…

A moment of deep pride as I walked into the UJ Theatre to be met by this stage-lighting and production of this play by my dearest daughter. Dante & Mashudu flew to Durban this morning & goes on stage at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre tomorrow. Then it's off to Capetown next week

These bank failures were entirely avoidable if Congress & the Fed had done their jobs and kept strong banking regulations in place since 2018. SVB & Signature are gone, and now Washington must act quickly to prevent the next crisis. My @nytopinion op-ed: nytimes.com/2023/03/13/opi…

Teaching a child to read: - There's no mystery to it. - It's not "rocket science." - It does NOT require memorization of "sight words." - It has nothing to do with guessing from pictures or context. I outline the proper methodology, start to finish, in these FREE books.
