If, like me, you are fascinated by the history of theory and research on reading, this brilliant journal article is for you. If you just want the moral of the story, it’s please stop using running records for assessing reading. They are based on disproven theory and flawed research. There are many better options.

This podcast w @ReadingShanahan is by the far the easiest way to get up to speed on the research on levelled readers. HIGHLY recommend! (If you want to skip intro, dig in at about 7:30). amplify.com/episode/scienc…

We are excited to announce the release of the Term 3 units for Years 3 - 6 English. Units are aligned to the Australian Curriculum version 9, new NSW Syllabus and the Victorian Curriculum 2.0. This work is made possible by the support of Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools.

Once again, matching teaching to learning styles has near-zero impact on student achievement. I've noticed a resurgence of the learning styles myth recently so this new study is timely. 🧵 ⬇️

Have you seen this vocabulary word list resource? It tells common words students need to know for college and life! ☑️ 🗒️ textproject.org/wp-content/upl… Lookout for a can't-miss episode tomorrow with a 5th grade teacher talking alllll about vocabulary! 🎙️

New article out today! If you want to read more about math read-alouds in preschool, I have access to 50 free downloads of the article: tandfonline.com/eprint/ZMI7JMS…
