A single session of retrieval practice can generate memory improvements that persist for 9 months. Over multiple sessions, the positive effects of retrieval can last for 8 years. 🤯

ALT Did You Know? A single session of retrieval practice can generate memory improvements that persist for 9 months, and the positive effects of retrieval over multiple sessions can last for 8 years. In an authoritative study, researchers emphasized that retrieval practice is not the same as reviewing or rereading. Students must actively draw information from memory into “conscious awareness” to reap the full benefits. Source: Carpenter, Pan, & Butler, 2022

89% of dyslexics have challenges with spelling
But 71% of us are above average at communicating
AND 84% of us are above average at imagining
If you're a teacher, take our new training to support our challenges and champion our strengths.

People with dyslexia don't have trouble with seeing language, but with manipulating and processing it. #dyslexia

We agree with @MarkRuffalo: when you're #MadeByDyslexia, there's no limits to where your #DyslexicThinking can take you – as everyone from NFL superstar @RashanAGary to space scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock demonstrated at #WDANYC.

Such a common misunderstanding when it comes to learning to read. We do not learn through osmosis, and students need to be explicitly taught.

You can read aloud anywhere! The car 🚘 , the outdoors 🧺, kitchen ⏲️, even the bathroom 🚽 🤪. On February 1, stop, drop, and join us for #WorldReadAloudDay, no matter where you are. @litworldsays | @storyvoicelive scholastic.com/worldreadalou…

We are brain 🧠 changers "with our instructional choices" as Judi Dodson said. Orthographic mapping is the process "the formation of letter-sound connections to bond the spellings, pronunciations & meanings of specific words in memory." @ReadingRockets This is a great activity!
