.@mandymholl is much more than a teacher… she’s a coach, and was a catalyst for change in her school, alongside @ewolfson86.
Their story, sparked by @ehanford, is one of my faves from the #KnowledgeMatters School Tour. @ClassroomWonder
Happy reading:

I was asked to reconsider the term 'Science of Reading' because it's divisive makes some people uncomfortable?
Well, centering what's comfortable for adults is partly how we got here in the first place. So no.

Twitter needs a "blue check" for people who've actually taught children to read - consistently and across demographics.
That'd help people understand if they're listening to a theorist, successful practitioner, or somebody who's full of it.

School Administrators must learn to teach kids how to read. If you don't know it, and won't learn it, how on Earth can you lead it. Yes, that also means central office staff.

We are grateful to all teachers who #KnowBetterDoBetter when it comes to teaching reading.
We also have the deepest gratitude to the educators we meet on the #KnowledgeMatters School Tour.
Happy Thanksgiving!

In all too many of our schools, "Kids are being taught two different ways to read. And one of those ways isn’t really reading."

“… if someone had handed me research that showed me what the science of reading was, instead of a Guided Reading book by Fountas and Pinnell, I would have been a different teacher. Had I known I was doing the wrong thing, I would have fixed it. In a heartbeat.” @missypurcell1 🧵

A teacher in @ehanford’s Sold a Story: “If I had known it was wrong, I would have fixed it.”
This is true of most teachers. And why people like Lucy Calkins, publishing companies like Heinemann, and schools of education should be held accountable.

This is a MUST listen for all parents and teachers of young children! Emily Hanford does it again with an excellent podcast explaining what's wrong with how so many American schools have been teaching reading, and how this happened.

I can't wait for everyone to hear @ehanford's newest. It goes deep into the story teachers have been sold about reading.
She explains the appeal, pervasiveness, and cost of the misunderstandings passed on to us from people we've held up as reading experts.
