This point really needs to be emphasised. Strong oral language skills are an enormous asset for reading but do not in themselves turn a good talker into a good reader. High quality instruction does that. Oral language = biologically primary. Reading = biologically secondary.

Work on language comprehension at their thinking level.Ultimately,dyslexics will be able to read text on their own-but until then,make comprehension a “print-less” activity.Keep them intellectually engaged,learning vocab. & not guessing at words they can’t decode. #ogwinter2021.

@e_conn @PineGrove_BCPS @BCPS_ELA Oh @e_conn ! That is such an adorable idea! And what kid doesn’t love bubbles???.

"One of the most exciting outcomes of dyslexia research is the firm conclusion that with early identification and appropriate instruction it is possible to 'overcome' dyslexia (Shaywitz, 2003) or even 'prevent' it (Fletcher, et al., 2019; Gaab, 2019)." Hasbrouck, in press.

@MsReidinfourth I can’t think of a better thing to do on your birthday! Of course, I am “syllable-obsessed”! #bcps16og2020.

#juneogplus2021 Liberman, Shankweiler&Liberman: “Awareness of phonological structures is lacking in preliterate kids & adults;the degree to which it does exist is the best single predictor of success in learning to read. ”#startingwithwholewordsdoesntmakesense #startwithsounds.

Hi @GeneseNeal My version of this syllable games is on a poster board that is falling apart because it has been used so many times! I hope your kids enjoy it! #bcps16og2020.

@MsFeldsteinLMES Suction ball is, without a doubt, my students’ favorite syllable game! Hope your students like it too! #bcps16og2020.

#juneogplus2021 Make sure that the child’s program is coordinated. For those of you in my course, you can’t be on Route 70 and Route 66 at the same time. @StephPratt3 @SarahAnnHawkey.

Requires BUSD to universally screen for risk of dyslexia, supplement its core curriculum to include phonics & PA instruction, adopt reading intervention programs aligned with the Science Of Reading🧵.#dyslexia #CAdyslexialawsuit #UniversalScreening #SB237.

This may be my new favorite title. (Found in this new book on Dyslexia edited by @jwashingtonPhD & colleagues:

Yes!They love picking the correct spelling when they can throw a beanbag into a coffee filter w/the right orthographic match.If only the English language didn’t have so many choices @BetsyPupparo!#bcps17og2020 #bcps16og2020 #letsallmovetoItalywherethereareveryfewspellingchoices.

#jeffersoncountyog2021 Love this story. #appreciatestrengths #strengthsmattermorethanweaknesses.

@JoAnneGross1 A literate person can read & write.Teaching kids how the sounds of their oral language work,leading to a reading is “breathing in”/writing is “breathing out” model is important for ALL & a lifeline in early literacy instruction 4 #Dyslexia #ELL & #StrugglingReaders #talkreadwrite.
