there is really a blogpost to be written entitled "if you have a hammer everything is a nail" the hammer is UFLI #SoR #SoRSky (*i love UFLI. so useful, so great. but. i stand by my words. esp for Ts 4th grade & up, & all Ts who have small group time & are confused about life post-F&P)

It has been a joy to help create the kind of professional development I wish I had when I was in the classroom: instructionally-focused, teacher-led, video-based. I wrote a piece for the @shankerinst.bsky.social about how it works and how you can DIY this PD in your own school or district.

Rant incoming. Just spoke to a high school literacy specialist who in 3 years has built a successful literacy intervention program at her small, rural school (msg me to learn more). What's next for this teacher, you may wonder?

And now Faith Howard is joining our next cohort of Goyen Literacy Fellows. Couldn't be more excited to work with and learn from this brilliant educator!

Coming Friday: Educators and experts say students are reading fewer books in English class—that the entire priority of English class has changed. What’s behind the shift? Subscribe to The Bell Ringer and find out which ELA curricula make reading whole books a priority.

Wow. Elana Gordon does intervention with students well-below their peers in reading skills. “At this point in the year, I have exited 26 students from intervention, meaning that these students not only made progress but caught up to their peers.” open.substack.com/pub/scienceo...

TL;DR After adopting EBLI, reading interventionist Elana Gordon has exited 26 students (!) from her intervention groups this year. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Skeptical? She's got data to prove it. Read about her data and work here. open.substack.com/pub/scienceo...

Calling all the folks who care about kids and/or science. Yes, that's you! A zoom call with Matt Burns, professor and researcher from University of Florida this Wednesday, April 9th. It's part of a week of action in defense of the science of reading. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Tomorrow! Wed 4/9 at 7:30 Join us to write letters to local papers to amplify this message: our federal edu research infrastructure matters, it has been decimated, it must be restored! We have 20 signups - can we get to 50? All hands on deck. #StandUpForReadingResearch #SaveIES

@standup4research.bsky.social saw lots of support for science and education at today’s Hands Off event in Pasadena. It’s the start of a full week of action. Learn more here: linktr.ee/standupforre...

Mark your calendars. Gather your people. We're showing up for reading research and we need you there too. linktr.ee/standupforre...

This is such a great Tools for Practice—educator Elana Gordon shares her practice of helping students use learned content for sentence writing. Don't miss it!

Are your students struggling to parse and compose complex sentences? Read all about Elana Gordon's work in @hollykorbey.bsky.social's Tools for Practice...and how she combines content learning with sentence construction in an intervention setting.

The IES Practice Guides and resources inform every single literacy course & training for pre-service & in-service teachers. Any literacy intervention that has evidence behind it has evidence because the studies were funded by IES, OSEP, or by NIH. Every $ spent on IES research saves tax payer $.

The IES is an invaluable resource for educators. We need to know what is effective for teaching and learning to serve students. #EduSky #Literacy #RighttoRead #Literacyforall

#edusky #educationalresearch If you can read this, thank a teacher. And also a researcher. Education improves through research and excellent research requires funding.

A few years ago I went to a conference sponsored by the Dept. of Ed. The employees of the agency blew me away with their smarts, commitment, and care. They were amazing ambassadors of the US government… and I bet they all knew what IDEA stands for. #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary

We are already seeing some pretty eye-opening results… 👀 Please help us capture your school’s approach, as part of a broader conversation about how school schedules do and don’t line up with the goals of science of reading efforts. @katasolow.bsky.social @abbyteachesdsm.bsky.social

There is no Science of Reading without the science--federally funded grants that result in well-designed studies yielding high quality data. Stand up for kids! Stand up for SoR! Stand up for Literacy!

SoR Fam, the Science of Reading is under attack. We are meeting on Tuesday night with @aftunion.bsky.social to plan next steps and build toward a longer week of action at the end of the month. RSVP here: www.mobilize.us/aft/event/75...

#EduSky, #EduSkyPrimary -- did you know the ongoing research that contributes to the science of reading is under threat? We can speak out against dismantling science.

We will see you there!

Want to see what fluency instruction can look like in early elementary? Join us on 2/25! We'll step inside @ginquinnmoon.bsky.social and Laura Stam's classrooms, watch them teach, and get all of our questions answered! Register: bit.ly/42Pjtuc

We are thrilled to share that we are now accepting applications for the FOURTH cohort of Goyen Literacy Fellows. Read on for the relevant links 🧵

This is the best piece about the SoR movement that I've read in a long time. Really appreciate how @evidentlyreading.bsky.social examines the movement through the eyes, needs, and experiences of teachers i.e. the people who are actually doing the work on the ground.

Teachers, have you ever had to teach a literacy unit or module where you didn't know very much about the content yourself? 🚨🚨🚨Knowledge-Building isn't just for Students 🚨🚨🚨 Check out our latest ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.goyen.io/blog/knowled...

Trying to bring multiple languages into our morphology instruction! Any feedback from my fellow reading teachers?

It's fitting that our first post on HERE is resharing yet another incredible clip from Mrs. Pallone's K classroom. Check out the YouTube link for the entire lesson!
