🧵 @KyDeptofEd began a dyslexia study in 19-20. The 3-yr study evaluated the impact of Tier 1 structured literacy on children with characteristics of dyslexia. TLDR: Teachers said it made their instruction more effective — for all kids.

The best teaching strategy is to show grace. The best classroom management tip is showing your kids grace. One of the best ways to build relationships is to show grace. The best teachers show grace. Showing grace is always the right decision to make.
