Study of decodable vs predictable texts: “increase in reading fluency for both groups, but the research & data collected clearly shows that the use of decodable readers allowed for a quicker and more substantial increase in words per minute for students.”

Tips for parents! Many words that students read in middle school have two or more syllables. These are called multisyllabic words. This resource describes a simple strategy you and your child can use to help decode long words.

In SBISD, Running Records are a BIG component of measurement. Here is our Assoc. Superintendent of Academics talking about this “long-standing, best practice.” We have a lot of experts following us- we would love your thoughts! Is this GOOD data? @DrMPaff

The eminent Dr. Louisa Moats' name is at the top of the list for the contributing work group members for the Idaho Dyslexia Handbook.
That makes the recently released, Idaho Dyslexia Handbook, a must read! sde.idaho.gov/academic/ela-l…

Early intervention is key! The wait to fail model is disastrous for our students. This is why we need to screen our students early on.

We have been working on blending and this is a simple 1 2 3 Flip It activity for cvc words, real and nonsense words. The cards are numbered to help with the placement. Students worked with a partner.

Episode 3 reminded me of a meeting in DC I was asked to attend by Reid Lyon way back in 2002. Gay Sue Pinnell had requested a meeting with Reid Lyon to discuss their concerns about Reading First. Reid had asked my mentor David Francis to attend but he couldn't. So he sent me.

Many teachers, post-Sold a Story, are telling me they're shocked that the F&P leveling assessments are not especially accurate... but they kind of doubt that they're so bad or don't know what else they would do to level students. What say you @burnsmk1 @ehanford?

When asked to name one thing that teachers can do to improve learning outcomes for our Ss, Dr Archer suggested increasing the # of opportunities to respond. Move away from raising hands; everybody does everything (says it, writes it, does it), or as we say in FSL ‘tout le monde’.

Think about this—all data is a celebration. If it tells the story we aspired to, we keep doing what we’ve been doing.
If it doesn’t tell the story we aspired to, we celebrate because we now know better what NOT to do and to find, learn about, and try new things…together.
