This is such a wonderful question! A few thoughts: 1. @christinakcover @kato_NV @focusonliteracy (others too!) are doing wonderful and careful work with the The Project for Adolescent Literacy. I love how they're leveraging and curating existing teacher knowledge and practice seekcommonground.org/pal

CROWDSOURCING: I’m getting this question a lot, and I may pull together a quick reading list blog, because there is actually a LOT of good content coming out right now to talk about upper grades. For now, let’s start with a thread here. Please help with replies? @S_Oberle @SoRclassroom @kato_NV @KJWinEducation @ReadSimplified @reading_league @smorrisey @literacypodcast

@karenvaites Hey hey!! Adding on to drop a page with my current work. Includes a link to grab time to chat. Use what might be helpful! ed45.info/m/Education-45…

For starters: Upper grades literacy is @kato_NV’s superpower. She does TONS of writing and webinars. But she is mostly active in other platforms (true of most of the Artists Formerly Active in Literacy Twitter), I hope she will share her best stuff here, but if not, I’ll get her recs. @SoRclassroom is a must-follow effort to show what the Science of Reading looks like in practice. I think it might be the fastest-growing literacy S*sta*k out there. They just published a 3-part series on SOR in high school, as one example of many from their treasure trove of reading: open.substack.com/pub/scienceofr… @KataSolow, I hope you can add a few good middle school pieces in the replies here when you have time.

To make your curriculum dinner party a success, there are three key steps schools can take: define success, invest in professional learning, and protect common planning time. Want to learn more? Check out the full post: education4500.com/post/curriculu…

@KJWinEducation VERY cool and needed.

In a couple weeks, we'll publish an interview of Mississippi's Dept of Ed officials. Long form, breaking down how they moved from 50th to 9th in reading. They address structure, Coaching, Leadership, Challenges, materials and the "Miracle" narrative. DM for email when released.

A beautifully set table with no food = curriculum adoption without implementation.

@CurriculumIP @karenvaites @HKorbey @KJWinEducation @laurapatranella @alexanderrusso @gtoppo @jillbarshay @AbbyTeachesDSM @kyairb @tgrierhisd @SlentzKen No full books but 🟢🟢🟢 does a publisher’s bottom line good 🙄

How are publishers successfully selling curricula with virtually no books… zero novels… and excerpts / passages as the reading list? This summer, our Text Insight Project will explore this issue. @karenvaites discusses with @HKorbey in her latest podcast. Link ⬇️

What portion of students are regularly completing assigned reading at home? (Hey teacher friends - @DavidLiben, @MeredithLiben, and I curious about how folks are handling reading homework....if you want to share more, leave it in the comments or send me a direct message)

Calkins Redux. The Atlantic piece is too generous to Calkins and too critical of Hanford. seidenbergreading.net/2024/11/13/cal…

We could retitle this piece "How to Tell You Missed the Point". Let's forget Lucy. Are Ss reading and writing at grade level? Do Ss feel empowered to be agents of their own literacy? What materials and methods get us there? Not UoS. Let's move on! theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
