An example of what can happen when explicit, systematic instruction is paired with data-focused differentiation. The data shows a 3rd grader who started 2nd grade in 21-22 reading 2 WPM on DIBELS. Throughout the course of the year his accuracy improved, and his WPM increased.

October is #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth month. Here is a well-done new video produced by the CA Dyslexia Initiative. Wouldn’t it be great if literacy leaders in every school district would watch!

With the amazing Margaret Goldberg @right2readproj as a reading coach, they are creating a model for shifting school-wide practice to #SOR to improve elementary reading. Can’t wait to hear more about what they are doing and results so far.
