New research comparing 68 studies shows Structured Literacy outperforms Balanced Literacy—by a lot.
SL = clearer, stronger reading gains.
BL = a rebrand of Whole Language.
It’s time to teach reading based on evidence, not vibes. 📚✨

Thank you @NateJoseph19 and @NathanielRSwain for this fantastic conversation about RTI and MTSS. Something every educator should listen to. It's about knowing better so that you can do better!

So happy to see this finally happening—after decades of advocacy, change is coming! I’ve been pushing for years, & the changes for kids at risk of reading failure. Excited for the symposium and what’s ahead for public education. #RightToRead #LiteracyMatters

Happy #TBT! Found this old calendar where I was Miss July 2010 💁♀️
Back then, I was told I was too #dyslexic to become a certified #specialed teacher.
Didn’t get that title—but I’ve still changed lives, and I’m proud of the path I’ve taken. 💙

As a dyslexic child I was put into a few reading interventions that didn't work for me before I found one that did. This was very hard on my self esteem. Please don't just assume the interventions that are offered to your child are going to work.

Thank you to @NateJoseph19 for including me in this project. Let's make every minute of intervention time count for students at risk of reading failure! #RightToRead link.springer.com/epdf/10.10…

So this popped up on my feed today… we need to demand better for our children, teens and adults who face the consequences of reading failure either personally or through someone they love. apple.news/AzR_O-UwaRDqD6_4K… #RightToRead

OMG! This is the worst. I hate it when dyslexic kids/adults are told they aren't trying or that they are just lazy. I remember being told this, I've been told this about my children. It simply isn' true. @janhasbrouck & I debunked this myth youtu.be/VNe78Lqh_7E

Have you ever been told your child will out grow their #Dyslexia? This doesn't happen, but hopefully they will learn strategies to support it. Watch @janhasbrouck and I discuss this myth: youtube.com/watch?v=wEK44SDs… #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth

Sometimes it feels like those with those with #ADHD can't ever focus, but in reality they can. Learn more about this myth by watching this youtu.be/5VR8cH3i4Do #ADHDAwarenessMonth
