What Direct Instruction is and what it isn't.
Here is another great article with some practical tips on how handwriting impacts writing AND how to teach it by Steve Graham aft.org/sites/default/…
“Instruction in handwriting is not about making handwriting pretty or perfect but instead about automatizing letter and word formations to free up working memory for the significant idea management necessary for good writing.” @williamvancleave I LOVE this article because it…
When are we going to start talking about the difference btwn assessing comprehension by asking a few Qs & TEACHING students to use text structures to articulate the main idea and summarize a text? One is effective in improving outcomes. The other highlights achievement gaps.

Terrific new article on the reading comprehension and strategy intervention for struggling readers. Strategy instruction alone is ineffective; rather; background knowledge is the active ingredient for reading comprehension journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.31…
“I think I was wrong about phonemic awareness” @mandercorn reflects on why he moved away from oral-only phonemic awareness instruction like Heggerty. It’s so well-written: nomanis.com.au/blog/single-po…

Learning to read by 3rd grade has just been named as a priority in the SOTU. My critique? The path towards said goal was identified as "high-quality tutoring and summer school." Why not high-quality, core Tier 1 instruction during the regular school year??

This sweet video illustrates several important lessons for parents and caregivers when it comes to reading with infants and toddlers. What can we learn from it? Take a moment to watch (sound on) and then let’s unpack it a bit in the thread below. 🧵
If you find more & more students... with lower achievement, in need of Tier 2 & 3 services, caught in an ever-increasing achievement gap, not engaged in learning, displaying misbehaviors, or anything else getting in the way of learning: STOP EVERYTHING & LOOK AT TIER 1
Improving Tier 1 is a bit like the movie, Field of Dreams. "If you build it, they will come." If we stop everything, listen to that advice, & act on it, we can design a Tier 1 that makes miracles happen in learning. Just requires our complete commitment to the cause.
Tough but fair words here from @KJWinEducation. Schools and systems can’t lay genuine claim to student wellbeing if they’re not teaching reading, writing & spelling with maximal rigour. Academic failure and mental health problems are (almost inseparable) soulmates.
To districts with Socio-emotional programs, but also do Balanced Literacy with 3 cueing, leveled libraries, and all the rest... You're the monster you've been trying to slay.
