Unfortunately this is commonplace. Universities must do better! On that note however, I’m excited about the @IADeptofEd ‘s work to support teacher prep programs in Iowa. Good things are happening here!

"We must **resist the urge** to choose reading accommodations over reading interventions. It is NEVER too late to teach kids HOW to read." - Kristin Sayeski

“…the biggest implication for educators around generative learning is that we, the educators, are responsible for creating the conditions for learning. We need to explicitly teach students how to be learners.” ~Megan Kruse megankruse.edublogs.org/2025/04/20/cre…

“…if the same funds were invested in four-and five-year-olds, that are spent on interventions for the 2/3 of third graders who have not learned to read proficiently, a lot of anguish, sadness, and later costs could be avoided.” TRUTH from Dr. Jeannine Herron Neuropsychologist

"As Pamela Snow so compellingly reminds us:  we cannot afford to waste another 20 years.  Children’s instructional time is not ours to waste." @bmkruse3 This quote also reminds me of the Anita Archerism "Teach the stuff, cut the fluff!" megankruse.edublogs.org/2025/03/23/lea…

The Evidence Advocacy Center has a new menu for linguistically diverse learners! The team, chaired by @DrElsa_CHagan, provided research-based resources about education for students who are linguistically diverse. @ILAToday @CECMembership @reading_league evidenceadvocacycenter.org/linguistic-div…

Heartbreaking stories. I do like the trend of parents holding districts accountable. We simply cannot accept this happening to our kids.

Episode 12 of Sold a Story is out! If you've not listened to this informative podcast on reading I HIGHLY recommend you do. features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/

I sure wish tweets could be edited. The word Expands is incorrect. It should say Spans. Ugh!

The conclusion of the article Scientific Research & Classroom Application: How Structured Literacy Expands the Divide by G. Reid Lyon and Margaret Goldberg in flipsnack.com/.../perspectiv… is POWERFUL!!

@Suchmo83 Thank you for clarifying.

@StephanieEdgren While reading rate alone shouldn't be targeted in isolation from accuracy and prosody, it's worth noting that the author of that quote has changed their mind significantly since saying the quotation in question: x.com/Suchmo83/statu…

It's NOT about reading fast!
