Wowza news in early literacy: Study shows major gains in K-1 reading outcomes from use of the viral, and virtually free, UFLI foundational skills program. In fact, I’ve never seen effect sizes this high from a study of a literacy program. Congrats @HollyLanePhD @burnsmk1…
When you're leading reading interventions, should you: A. Teach a comprehensive approach? B. Teach to the students assessed weaknesses? Many argue that (A) is the better option, but: A 2018 meta-analysis by Mathew Hall and Mathew Burns, of 26 experimental or quasi-experimental…

"I am really upset by their bad decision. We will make national news with this one," said one angry parent.
Can we just full stop on this debate now? I’m begging you. Teach it with letters/graphemes.
A thread on phonemic awareness. Routinely, we see a debate as to whether it should be taught with or without letters. There is strong scientific consensus that it should be taught with letters. The NRP meta analysis showed double the reading and spelling outcomes for with letters
“You cannot use poverty as an excuse. That’s the most important lesson. It’s so important, I want to shout it from the mountaintop. [What Mississippi teaches is that] we shouldn’t be giving up on children.” @ProfDavidDeming via @NickKristof @nytopinion nytimes.com/2023/05/31/opi…

"What I'm haunted by is that when it wasn't working, I blamed it on children." Our new podcast is about why so many schools use materials to teach reading that are based on a debunked idea. Trailer dropped today. features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/
PSA: A text is not inherently "decodable." Decodability is a property of the text ⭐️in relation to the reader⭐️. So, e.g., for a child who has learned the alphabet, sh, and "for," the page below is 100% decodable, but for a child who has only learned the alphabet, it's only 40%.

I'm sending my kindergarten parents links to FREE, online decodable books for practice over the summer. I'm sharing in the thread below; please feel free to add any I've missed. Must be completely free, and preferably no registration, etc., required. Thanks!
