I believe in being clear about what I stand at a time when it's fashionable to DEBUNK people & ideas w/no research basis I stand beside: • Reading Recovery • Marie Clay • Lucy Calkins • Fountas & Pinnell • Balanced literacy And much more Attack away but I ignore bullies
@DrMaryHoward I agree with you, Mary. These programs have been proven over many years to work because they are based on reading, comprehending, and enjoying reading books. To become proficient readers, students must read. They also learn the foundations of phonics and phonemic awareness.
@beberealtor Yes Betty, complexity has always been at the center. Literacy has never been and will never be simple or settled!
@beberealtor @DrMaryHoward How do you enjoy books when you can’t read the words? How do you understand what you read if you’re not accurately reading the words?
@beberealtor @DrMaryHoward Except they have exactly *not* be proven. That's the entire point. It's like saying "the sun moves around the earth. It's proven by what we see every day."
