@liv2learn I have always used pencil and paper. It's about wiring your brain. I only use tech for oral recordings for data .

I’m honored to be part of AIM’s 2026 Research to Practice Symposium, a special 20th anniversary event celebrating two decades of turning literacy research into real classroom impact. Join educators from around the world for a free day of learning featuring leading literacy researchers and practitioner panels focused on evidence, implementation, and partnership. �� Monday, March 2, 2026 �� Live stream available (in-person registration is full) �� Register bit.ly/AIMSymposium-26 #AIMSymposium2026

@thismomloves Using our tools, I know students who are all at EOY projections already!

When they started Year 1 (PreK) last year: 47% met benchmark for phonological awareness 29% met benchmark for alphabet knowledge Assessment, instruction, intervention. With the right tools and training, teachers can change reading trajectories…and lives.

Which is why we do what we do en français. Teach the code. watermelon-works.com

@RplusDyslexia @PamelaSnow2 Yes we do!

@PamelaSnow2 As all podcasters laboriously deliver on excellent episodes, some of us are out there doing it. We train teachers and we remediate failed children and we soothe their parents.

@MrARobbins @cogscisci @tes Hey mine aren’t on tes but TpT for profit.

Someone is selling mine and other @cogscisci resources on @tes resources page what a suprise! Anyway they are free on the cogscisci website tes.com/teaching-resou…

@ImtaBrendan It's why we need to teach academic vocabulary to little ones not just word/sound walls.

Nice little resource to help students understand command words in exam questions.

This is what we have been doing since '97 and publicly since 2009. En français. #patentedmethodology

@PamelaSnow2 100% agree.

@PamelaSnow2 That I understand. But could you lead me to some research, please? There has been some brain research completed that defines areas of the brain that perform different functions hence the entire left/right brain theories due to tendencies in people.

@PamelaSnow2 Could you please tell me more about left brain right brain research? Is there merit to it? Links to research?

@Orchidoptera @thismomloves @UFLiteracy I created the French version. watermelon-works.com While this is great news, Ts need to remember this is for determining the starting point for those identified for intervention. This is not a screener. I just would like others not to miss that point. 😊

@thismomloves @UFLiteracy Why is time wasted on not real words? What is the point of that? What if a student has those words in another language? ("bete" is French for beast (bête).

Hot off the press! @UFLiteracy now has an Intervention Placement Test to help you figure out where to begin interventions for specific students. Scoring patterns tell you which UFLI lesson you should start with. This is going to be really helpful! ufli.education.ufl.edu/wp-content/upl…

@robertbenzie @krushowy @TorontoStar @MoiraWelsh Congratulations!

Congratulations to @krushowy on her new role as senior writer at the @TorontoStar with a focus on education. As part of the Star’s expanded #onted coverage, Kris will still be a familiar face at Queen’s Park. And welcome @MoiraWelsh to the Star’s Queen’s Park bureau. #onpoli

@literacypodcast Sets please.

📚 Tired of the “Strategy of the Week”? So are we! Let's re-center comprehension instruction. 👉 Comprehension isn’t about teaching a strategy in isolation — it’s about helping students think deeply with the text! Listen 🎙️ shorturl.at/qPfJm

@janhasbrouck I took my readers from the min requirement in the beginning of the year to double in most cases at the end of the year. Team foundational skills built upon and my methodology worked like a charm. #lifeafterdecoding #fluency

Worth a read! One teacher’s experience successfully implementing an evidence -based program. open.substack.com/pub/specialedu…

@MrZachG I have been teaching explicit learning forever. Give them the tools and they will thrive no matter where you meet them on their learning journey. #enfrançais

Thank you, AI. Now, how can we convince the critics?

@thismomloves Mine were off the charts. So proud of my kiddos.

I used a First Sound Fluency progress monitoring form to see where our Year 1 K students are in relation to the Beginning of Year benchmark for when they return in the fall. 🌟 100% of the students are already at or above benchmark 🔵 89% above 🟢 11% at #StructuredLiteracy

@NateJoseph19 @rastokke I had a professor tell me that I shouldn't take French. "These classes are reserved for francophones".

@rastokke I had a professor threaten to fail me for criticizing learning styles. The dean backed him. Doesn’t mean it’s acceptable behaviour though.

If this is true there should be significant consequences for the professor. Failing a student over minor academic differences is petty and pathetic.

@literacypodcast I an have been preaching phonics forever en français.

🧠 This month on the Melissa & Lori Love Literacy Podcast... it’s all about PHONICS + DECODING! 🎉 📥 Grab the June Roadmap + Listening Guide to see what’s coming and reflect as you listen: 🔗 ow.ly/3BS650VU0gK

@NateJoseph19 I know by research in action that if you take away the fear of math, students develop a love of math. #25yearsofresearchinaction
