Executive skills enable readers to coordinate processes that cut across word recog & language comp & to forge the essential connections among phonology, orthography, and meaning necessary for the mature orthographic mapping observed in skilled readers (Duke & Cartwright 2021)

Links between phonology, orthography, and words' meanings are at the heart of orthographic mapping (Ehri, 2014). Vocabulary knowledge is part of what enables us to know which pronunciation is correct and also to monitor whether the text with that word in it makes sense.

Did you know knowledge predicts reading ability even in models in which the original SVR components of decoding and listening comprehension are controlled?(Hwang, 2020; Nusca, 1999; Talwar, Tighe & Greenberg, 2018).

It is essential to unpack a reader's profile of strengths and weaknesses... Unpacking the contributors to R is especially important when it draws attn to a construct that may otherwise be missed in identifying causes of rdg difficulty. Duke, Cartwright (2021)

How about letting your students thrive on @CanvaEdu to start the school year instead of a typical “ice breaker”? Nothing wrong with a good “getting to know you” activity… but how about you set the stage for an expectation of each student’s unique creativity! #canva #edu

There are 2 keys to intrinsic motivation: 1- what I'm being asked to learn is achievable 2- I find what I'm learning meaningful I had the pleasure of speaking with @bryangoodwin on ep 67 of Coaching Conversations. Please leave a rating & review: https://t.co/aF6PD4EjJX

I LOVE THIS! I popped into planning with 1st grade and overheard them celebrating one of their student’s accomplishments in writing… one of THEIR students. They look at all students as THEIRS and it’s beautiful. #fisdelevate @ci_elem @smithelem_Noel
