1/2 Kay Stahl and I have a piece coming out in RRQ on reconsidering what should be focused on when. Until we realize we need to think in terms of what is needed across the board and what is needed at various points in varying amounts, we will keep having these swings.

This week's must-read: In EdWeek, @Elizheubeck covers important studies on the limits of phonics instruction and the relative importance of oral language and vocabulary development. 'Students performed better on standardized assessments when teachers routinely taught new vocabulary and encouraged more than one-word responses during comprehension lessons. “Certainly, there are teachers who are letting the other pieces of the literacy block crowd out the comprehension instruction,” Troyer said. That doesn’t bode well for students, according to the researchers. More time spent on phonics was associated with lower DIBELS scores, whereas more time spent on comprehension was linked with higher scores on the standardized tests designed to evaluate literacy skills in K-8 students.'
