How does one become a reader?
Teaching skills/strategies is clearly important.
But it's not the only factor in a reader's story.
(Adapted from "Teaching Readers, Not Reading: Beyond Skills and Strategies to Reader-Focused Instruction" by @PETERAFFLERBAC1, @guilfordpress)

Children's brain activity looks different whether they are reading narrative or informational text--no surprise that classroom research suggests our instruction for these genres should be different too (e.g., purposes established for reading, text structures taught, ?s asked...)

Then let’s push for PD. Without it, nothing works. We ran a scale up last year with 80 schools and found no differences in ELA outcomes according to curriculum used (Wonders, EL etc) but the amount of PD provided mattered. PD in effective practices is the bigger lever
