Glad to FINALLY hear this in the news. Concerned that the focus spoken about is ONLY phonics though. Teaching reading is MORE than just phonics. But this report is a start. The science of reading is FAR MORE than what I heard here. Dig deeper please. Share more.
.@JayOBTV reports on the challenge some students face learning to read in America’s schools, speaking with the parents, teachers and students working to improve how reading is taught.

Maybe we should have potato chip companies determine class sizes in classrooms. 🤔😏

Now here’s something special. As young children gradually internalize their inner dialogue, preschoolers often say the quiet parts out loud - offering us direct windows on their thinking. This video is a great example. As little Bella works to overcome her fear of jumping, we’re able to listen in on both her feelings (“I’m afraid”) and efforts at self-coaching (“Okay… I’ll just try this… I GOT THIS!”). Educational psychologist Lev Vygotsky called this “private speech.” Bella’s private speech happens out loud, but isn’t really intended for anyone else’s ears. She’s working through her own emotions/anxiety. And in time, what we’re hearing in this video will mostly be taking place inside her head. Pretty cool, huh? 🎥 joy.inbeing IG

"Evaluating 693 undergraduate and graduate teacher training programs, the council found that 40% of programs instruct aspiring educators to use debunked teaching practices." C'mon, educator prep programs, it's time to do better. @The74 the74million.org/article/new…

One of the most moving and significant elements in the reaction we got to Sold a Story was people who struggled to learn to read and assumed they had a learning disability. But now they are wondering - was it just that I wasn't taught HOW to read? apmreports.org/story/2023/05…
