But when we look back and see that Calkins (and others) actively discouraged us from teaching phonemic awareness, to minimize the teaching of "low-level skills," and to believe that magic would unfold for our students if we simply inspired them to *want* to read and write...

Letter sound skills are essential for orthographic mapping! This is a fun way to practice💜 #scienceofreading #orthographicmapping #phonemicawareness #teachertwitter #edtech #education #literacy

When I saw @missypurcell1 share that letter, I decided to write this!
It would appear that we do indeed teach our kids to guess in @GwinnettSchools 🙄⬇️!! News Flash: Guessing is NOT reading!!!

When I read things like this I wonder how in the world I ever bought into balanced literacy. #edutwitter #scienceofreading @markseidenberg

I wish I could say I’ve always taught high frequency words this way but when you know better, you do better! #education #scienceofreading #orthographicmapping

If you want to align your practices with the science and research on how we learn to read, it starts with training, not curriculum! #scienceofreading #literacyandjusticeforall

@reading_league @ehanford @JoeBiden I respectfully request that our new Secretary of Education is vetted for an understanding of apprenticing teachers and leaders in the #scienceofreading. The war on Covid is science driven. So is the war against illiteracy. #neuhaus #Dyslexia

“If you're a parent concerned about literacy, you should be asking your superintendent, your principal, your board members, ‘Why are we using a program that got the lowest possible rating?’” said Todd Collins, who serves on the school board in Palo Alto.

The education professors double down on a flawed approach that encourages pictures and context to read words. Heinemann — their publisher — faces harsh criticism.

Incorporating the "science of reading" is a great marketing opportunity for Calkins, F&P. Where's the refund for the $$millions spent on defective materials?

Lucy Calkins and Jennifer Serravallo are among those releasing updates that move away from unproven techniques like three-cueing.

Memorizing words isn’t effective or efficient. We have to give kids the tools they need to be successful readers. Phonemic awareness & letter sound skills are KEY! #scienceofreading

"Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a federal dyslexia class action lawsuit to change things..." Among other things, prohibits the use of Fountas & Pinnell or Reading Recovery.

@mandercorn There is no equity when principal & district knowledge is absent of effective early literacy instruction. At best it's islands of excellence where kids need to win the teacher lottery and there is no sustainability.
