@flpsrti @dr_danalyn @Lisa_Yount @EducationFL Great to see everyone there! Thanks for all the good work you do 😀

@PeskyDyslexia @maria_f_vazquez @ucfalum Misinterpretation of ESSA reports strikes again! While RAZ Kids has a strong ESSA rating, that rating is based on the quality of the (single) study of it, not the the literacy outcomes. The results were a very small effect size of 0.14.

We always appreciate the opportunity to work with our state DOE. Check out Just Read Florida’s 2 most recent webinars! Topics include text types, leveled assessments, 3 cueing, and more: fldoe.org/academics/stan…

The points about the value of programs by @ehanford seems to have started a firestorm… the musician analogy is tricky … I propose an alternative… teachers who use programs are like astronauts. The images below show why I like this analogy… #teachersareastronauts 📚🚀

@haemesmer Thank you very much for this response. It’s very welcome by those who value an instructional approach informed by evidence.

I responded to the opening vignette in a November RT article. ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/tr…

@missypurcell1 @DealCenterGC @SuptWoods And there are two super high quality pathways for coaches to become certified! One is through the Florida Center for Reading Research and the other is through the University of Florida’s Lastinger Center for Learning.

“Giving someone the label of coach doesn’t make them a coach.” Holly Roberts from the @DealCenterGC is dropping some truth bombs that I hope @SuptWoods will act on as we work to implement a coaching by model in GA. #GaPOL #FundLiteracyLikeYouMeanIt #untilEVERYkidcanread #LiteracyCoachingMatters

New Blog: "Decisions about what will be taught and for how many minutes determine the daily experience of students and how much they learn in school. I see change unfolding across the country, and this makes me feel excited but also deeply worried." righttoreadproject.com/2024/01/29/wha…

We should always be listening to our students read aloud and attune our ears to the types of errors they're making. This should guide our instruction. Check out some of the ways we can listen to our students as aligned to the Science of Reading. #literacy #scienceofreading

Do you have a class with a challenging mix of rdg skill lvls? Harness the power of dyad reading! digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewconten… “…with the support of more proficient peers, 3rd graders can successfully read materials determined to be 2-4 grade lvls above their identified rdg lvls”

What kind of instruction allows young children to retain words in memory more effectively: reading words in context or reading words in isolation? The answer might surprise you! Read the study here: sites.pitt.edu/~perfetti/PDF/…

Thankfully Florida no longer uses the IQ-Achievement discrepancy model for SLD evaluation, but much work is left to be done to improve our RtI model! Here is an excellent discussion of best practices in SLD identification: files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED606…

"SENTENCE COMBINING is the most effective way to teach grammar (Graham & Perin, 2007; Shanahan, 2009). Students should have plenty of practice combining short, declarative sentences using pronouns, commas, and conjunctions as needed." #literacy #writing
