🤔What if a 3-minute task could flag students with DLD?
Ward et al.'s (2024) meta-analysis of 46 studies established that children with DLD score 2 standard deviations below typically developing peers on sentence repetition.
Ou new study extended that work. We found that fourth graders with dyslexia who qualified for speech-language services scored significantly lower on sentence repetition than dyslexia-only peers (Hedges' g = −1.61), suggesting the task may help identify broader language vulnerability within dyslexia-identified populations.

“It just means everything”: Congratulations to the National Teacher of the Year, Leon Smith, a social studies educator at Haverford High School in Havertown, Pennsylvania! Mr. Smith, who also coaches the school’s freshman basketball team, gets a surprise from a very special basketball legend, whom he’s long looked up to.

🎥 Symposium recordings are now available on Nexus, giving you access to powerful sessions from researchers and educators working to transform literacy instruction.
With a free basic Nexus membership, you can explore the full Symposium video library and learn at your own pace.

We’re always excited to see Symposium conversations continue beyond the event.
After presenting at AIM’s 2026 Research to Practice Symposium, @markseidenberg shared a new piece exploring how early language development shapes reading outcomes.
It’s a timely reminder: how children learn to read is deeply connected to how they develop language.

Every student deserves access to high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction.
We’re excited to partner with @ouboces in New York following a competitive RFP selection, expanding access to professional learning and coaching grounded in the science of reading.
Together, we’re supporting educators across districts with the tools and knowledge to transform literacy outcomes.
This work is how change happens: research to practice, at scale.

Leonardo da Vinci had dyslexia.
Albert Einstein had dyslexia.
Richard Branson has dyslexia.
Steve Jobs had dyslexia.
Mr. President — with respect — dyslexia has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence.

If you’re at #PlainTalkNOLA and are interested in this new text by @speechwoman, @pipbrandon and me, drop by the AIM stand in the Exhibition Hall. I’m also doing a signing in the Steering Suite from 3:15-4:15 on Thursday.

What a phenomenal contribution Dr #HollisScarborough has made via her theory-driven yet highly classroom-relevant #ReadingRope. I can't argue with the premium she attaches to #OralLanguage.
Parents for Reading Justice@Parents4RJ
The author of the Reading Rope, Dr. Hollis Scarborough, reminds us: oral language is foundational to reading success. If we identify language struggles earlier, we can intervene earlier. Earlier support = fewer children experiencing the devastating effects of reading failure. This is how we protect our kids. This is how we change trajectories. 📚🧠 #AIMSymposium2026 @AIMtoLearn

Thank you @liv2learn for being such an important part of @AIMtoLearn @AIMSchool 20th anniversary Research to Practice Symposium! It was an honor to have you share your expertise!
Pam Kastner@liv2learn
What an honor to not only attend AIM’s 14th Annual Research to Practice Symposium but to also join a practitioner panel focusing on orthographic mapping with Dr. Katie Pace Miles and Dr. Renata Archie. Even to be in the room with such dedicated educators who attended live, and the over 6,000 educators who joined from across the world made it a day to remember. But, to learn with and from Nancy Hennessy, Ken Pugh, Laurie Cutting, Devin Kearns, Ramona Pittman, Aviva Coyne-Green, Mark Seidenberg, Hollis Scarbrough, Linnea Ehri, Katie Pace Miles, Renata Archie, Don Compton, Kate Cain, Elsa Cárdenas-Hagan, MeQuel Bolden, and Kristen Wynn is truly a literacy lover’s dream come true. To top it off, to be there when Reid Lyon was awarded the Hollis Scarborough Award with such grace and humility, was truly a gift. Then how lucky for me to join the dedicated team from the Lower Dauphin School District to view the ORIGINAL Reading Rope drawn by the one and only Dr. Hollis Scarborough and on display at AIM Institute for Learning & Research! How kind of the AIM team to make this possible and to be joined by my dear friend, Amy Sprout Sell , who is also a The Reading League PA Board Member!!! Many thanks to Pat Roberts and Nancy Blair, and the entire AIM team who made such an important contribution to our field with this amazing day!

Dr. Reid Lyon is a true national hero in the fight for literacy. 🇺🇸📚
We need bold, cross-sector collaboration to help every child learn to read — and leaders like him who can bring science, policy, and practice together.
Our kids can’t wait.

Dr. Reid Lyon received the 2026 @AIMtoLearn Hollis Scarborough Award — and it couldn’t be more deserved.
His decades of leadership in the science of reading have changed the trajectory for countless children.
Honoring the work that helps kids learn to read is always worth celebrating. 👏📚
