Please take the time to listen to this and share with others.
I've spent the better part of the past 3.5 yrs reporting on how children are taught to read and what scientists have figured out about how children learn -- and the shocking disconnect. In this presentation, I tell the story of what I've learned. youtube.com/watch?v=GO4_S26g…

As we pass dyslexia laws we need to carefully consider this statement.
“When schools produce kids who can’t read and spell, then you can’t find the five percent who are dyslexic." - @OdegardTim in oakfnd.org/wp-content/upload…

This sounds like a great way to spend a day learning! Thx
FYI if you’re isolating/distancing @PamelaSnow2 & I will be posting vocabulary instruction videos this week that’ll fill 2 hours for you. If you follow up with the readings you could fill days. I’ll publish a blogpost on teaching vocabulary for reading comprehension Thursday too.
