PSA to ANYONE in the education space: ONE person in the building, trained in OG, is NOT enough to serve all of your struggling readers. YES! This is how I’m waking up!

I 💜Jamey. She fell into my lap at my lowest point trying to figure out what was going on with my dtr. I sobbed after talking to her the 1st time b/c she validated that everything I was seeing was true, that my thoughts were correct and I wasn’t crazy. She was a torch in the dark

Favorite part from @KJWinEducation’s keynote: Students need to know they can control something. That’s why the code is so important, they can master the code, they can control that.
It’s not magic, we are teaching the stuff.

I think back to behavior problems we had in K and 1st grade using UoS ~ we were asking kids to sit and ‘read’ or ‘write’ when they didn’t have the foundation to do either. Is it any wonder students misbehaved during these times? They were telling us, ‘I can’t do this!’ 💔

Excellent event @ReadingLeagueIN, bringing together teachers, parents & advocates.
“The Right to Read” documentary is powerful! A must see.
It will take ALL of us to hit our state goal = 95% of 3rd grade students reading by 2027.
Thanks for being a champion, Reading League!

We’ve got to stay above the noise and the insults. It’s hard and it’s taken me a long time but I’m trying to focus on what matters and moving our kids in a positive direction. “When they go low, we go high.”

For real. Lowering standards in the name of.... "whatever" is not a solution. No matter how you dress it up. Our kids can do it, as long as they get what they need.
They can excel.

If you're the praying type... please pray for teachers returning to schools - their health, families, relationships, and the peace needed to see both the details in their work and the big picture in life.
Pray for consistent, sleep, joy, and patience.
For real.

Should education leaders apologize for supporting a version of balanced literacy that used guessing and other ineffective approaches to reading instruction?
Yes.
That'd help reach people who also took the bait.
I hope 'Potential for Impact' ≥ 'Fear of lost credibility'

There's a new book by elementary teacher @LindsayKemeny. It provides many good ideas for HOW to teach reading. Specific things teachers can DO. There's a clear explanation of the WHY. Lots of citations to research. Not about any one program.

Remove the pressure of teaching kids to love to read. 🧡
