Independent reading during school time (e.g., DEAR) has not had strong research support. New meta-analysis of 47 quasi-exp studies shows modest effects for reading motivation and word recognition, and no effect for comprehension. Article is open-access. journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

So today I learned the hard way why you always wear safety goggles when doing experiments. Salt water and potato? I’ll be fiiine. Nope. Turns out I’m allergic to raw potato when it’s rubbed in my eye by accident. ;( even after many antihistamines it’s still swollen.

I feel like poop with a cold. But the thought of setting 5hrs of cover that is all uploaded, with instructions, is meaningful, easy for a non specialist to deliver and will actually be done is beyond my brain power right now and it’s easier to just go in and teach. :(
