@VinceBoley Look into thinkSRSD Releasing Writers!

The majority of teachers have no clue how to explicitly teach students to write. Why is nobody talking about this?

@smorrisey Good evening! I have been reading about your Word Mapping Project and am very interested in it for our school. Can you share where I can learn more about it?

@MrsPallone @MrZachG Will this recording be available at a later date?

THIS!!!! It was so good. EVERY administrator needs to watch this webinar. Schools need DI. He clearly related behaviors to academic performance, to task analysis, etc! Thank you @MrZachG

@SorforMore @thejuneauhome Would you happen to have a PDF of this you could share?

@thejuneauhome At their own speed ;) and, you’re welcome! Happy to share!

I often get asked to support schools with the implementation of decodable texts. Here’s a protocol that I would use with a printed decodable passage when students are learning a new sound-spelling correspondence. Simple steps, big impact! Enjoy!

@MrZachG @MrMac_Math Do you have any recommendations of free videos for those of us who do not have Steplab? :(

@MrMac_Math I use Steplab's and TLAC's that are on Steplab

I estimate I watched about 5-10 videos total of teaching during the first five years of my career. Most of these I'd now consider non-examples. I now show teachers more videos than this in a single PD session. Rather than death by PPT, show them what you're talking about!

@LearnLead_ May I ask, is this from a webinar?

Anita Archer’s law of explicit instruction: “Teach first, then ask.”

@thismomloves @thinkSRSD You will be so glad you did!!!

Here we go - today we launched @thinkSRSD with our school staff, bringing research- and evidence-based writing instruction to our educators and students! 💪✍🏽🩷🌟

@BenisonMrs Was this a webinar?

Dr. Stephanie Stollar-

@KamalaHQ @BDeMayo Trump hates when people laugh at him. The world is laughing at you DonOld.

@TheFCRR @ReadSimplified What were the differences?

Study finds a bidirectional link between word and nonword reading, impacting each other over time. Interestingly, this pattern holds regardless of economic status. However, significant differences emerge between those at risk for #dyslexia and those not.bit.ly/45VEukT

@Biol_DrOg Not a book about evidence informed teaching but instead a book about how to help teachers find their joy. Look at “Teach Happy” by Kim Strobel.

Congrats to Noah Terry for winning the NFL high school play of the week!!! Go Marksmen

Boop! So taken by how this little one steps in to comfort her crying sister. Watch carefully and you’ll see that she models behaviors that have almost certainly been used to comfort and distract her during times of sadness. She comes in close to make eye contact. She offers a playful boop on the nose to elicit a laugh. And then closes the deal with a much-needed hug. In all things, babies learn from the examples set by others. It’s clear that this little one has some outstanding - and emotionally intelligent - role models. I’m betting that big sister is one of them. Video via aguilaralba10 on X.

@LindsayKemeny @burnsmk1 What decodable passages are you using?

@burnsmk1's Partner Reading Paragraph Shrinking is for grades 2-8, but I tried it out in 1st this year...I waited until February to start. Half the class is using decodable passages. My 1st graders' class median was 37 wcpm and now, two weeks later, it's 60 wcpm. 🙌

@leeannjung @bethmaicanada @j_hurlbut Would you mind to share the name of the article?

@bethmaicanada @j_hurlbut Shadowing is, indeed, a problem. Giangreco’s work over decades reveals the harm of excessive proximity of and over reliance on paraprofessionals. The table included in his article summarizes the harm. He gives excellent guidance on alternatives in his many articles.

🚫 Assigning a paraprofessional as a shadow to a student disrupts relationships with peers and teachers, makes it less likely their teacher will help them, and promotes dependence. uvm.edu/sites/default/… #LeadInclusion #spedchat #edchat

Desantis weighs in on Apple possibly pulling Twitter from the App Store because of safety concerns. He says if Apple does that, it should “merit a response from the US Congress.”

@FaithBorkowsky If IQ discrepancy and patterns of cognitive strengths and weaknesses lack validity, what would be considered valid ?

#dyslexiacon22 Jack Fletcher researched #dyslexia for 40 YEARS‼️What do we know? ➡️ Dyslexia cannot be identified independent of instruction‼️ THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! That’s not the message that parents are told!! ➡️ We don’t need extensive testing to know how to help kids! 1/3

@EvidentlyR @natwexler @PamSpringer3 @MiriamFein @FaithBorkowsky @Forbes @ehanford @BoksnerJudy @BerrysBunch I think this is a fantastic idea, but teachers are already overworked and creating units like these takes a lot of time and resources. How can we help teachers access knowledge building curriculum and not have to build their own?

@natwexler @PamSpringer3 @MiriamFein @FaithBorkowsky @Forbes @ehanford @BoksnerJudy @BerrysBunch I am an intervtionist and teach 3-5. Some groups working primarily on comp. I create "mini-studies" of linked texts for knowledge-building.

“Important as ‘Sold a Story’ and Hanford’s other podcasts on reading are, though, they leave crucial parts of the current mess unexplored.” - @natwexler The Literacy View discusses this recent Forbes article‼️ @Forbes @ehanford @BoksnerJudy @BerrysBunch @FaithBorkowsky 1/2
