There wasn’t Slavery in Australia. Blackfullas worked for free, for the love of it. Bit of sun, bit of air, bit of a chain around your neck, bit of a stolen wage.

Straight from the *Let’s Making Reading as Difficult as we can for Novices* canon. It’s time to call out these silly diversions (they are not strategies). Thanks for your persistence in doing so @ParkerPhonics.
All you reading teachers who are Jennifer Serravallo fans: exactly NONE of the strategies listed below constitute "decoding," no matter how many times Serravallo says that they do. For my critique of her most popular book, see here: https://t.co/3X6D5b6NeI

There are some cracking free vocabulary websites that can be useful as part of a home routine, or offer nice one-offs. (I’ve collated six of the best in a blog: https://t.co/fRKwiPuJEH) 1. Describing words - lots of lovely synonyms to liven up writing: https://t.co/Nyi2U4hGOt

I'm an online-only teacher. I thought it might be useful to tweet a wee thread of things that help me and my students to learn in this environment, as more and more will enter online learning for the first time.

I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331. I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY. I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.

Premier’s Reading Challenge no fun for kids who can’t read. “Imagine if driving instructors decided to abandon teaching learner drivers about the operation of gears, brakes and indicators, and just taught them to imitate skilled drivers” 🏆@Spelfabet

Most struggling readers aren’t dyslexic, they just need more systematic and explicit teaching about how to sound out words. They’re set up by our system to fail.
