How to destroy the confidence of a young pupil in the UK. Give her a national test and tell her everything she did is wrong. And now, in the UK, with phonics dominating everything, no one really knows how to teach spelling!
Just had a lovely meal in Canary Wharf East London. It turns out that the waitress is also a teaching assistant who's trying to teach synthetic phonics. She says that the kids aren't interested, and don't have any concentration for phonics. It makes you think!
It's so important to have experts like yourself challenging the insanity in early literacy trends, especially in the UK, where pupils' reading ability is assessed by their ability in sounding out a list of nonsense words!

Whatever you do, make sure you listen to at least some of what Dr Andy Johnson says. It's fabulous
rss.com/podcasts/drand… Why is it that journalists so often think of themselves as experts in reading instruction?
@ReadingLab10 @PamelaSnow2 AND Ss strategic actions in the processing of continuous text- rereading, repeating, self-monitoring, self-correcting etc. Allows Ts to reflect on the impact of their instruction thus far & to determine what needs to be taught next.2/2
Saw this at London Stansted Airport. I like people playing with words but happy is the real word where y represents 'ee' as much as ee, as is shown by worry. Why do the Phonatixs insist on only allowing pupils to to learn ee first when they all see Happy Birthday regularly?
I read an article today praising J K Rowling for standing up to trans extremism. Yes, we understand people who sincerely feel they identify as a different gender but we can't abolish 'men and women'. In early literacy in the UK, phonics extremists want to abolish letter names.
This 'no answer to a Fundamental question' is a typical response from SSP advocates and strengthens my whole language convictions even more! FYI, we do memorize many thousands of words over time enabling fluent effortless reading as both their image and meaning are well known.

Everyone in the UK and people in the US like @TimRasinski1 and @ReadingShanahan should watch this video about the Phonics Screening Check (test) which 5 and 6 year olds have to sit in England.

Really interesting with enormous implications. Many Thanks

It's great to help someone who's behind with their reading (I'm also working with a 7 year old who's enjoying reading for the first time in his life). But I think the child would benefit more from seeing word families of one gpc: rain, train, pain rather than all GPCs together.

Well worth listening to. Millions of adults can't read properly in the UK. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
As I've said before, one day we'll look back at the Phonics Screening Check and ask: 1 'Why on earth did we try to assess 5 year olds' reading ability by giving them a test that involves telling them some words are 'pseudo words'? 2. And why did we have aliens next to them?

jollylearning.co.uk/the-future-of-… Looks like the Synthetic Phonics companies are keen to cash in on the possible demise of Letters and Sounds.
They also have direct and indirect effect on children's reading development as they enter school. It's tragic that the current obsession with synthetic phonics has eroded the supreme importance of these skills. One day we'll look back and wonder how this was ever allowed.
The very core of what I believe: both spoken and written language is primarily about words, not individual sounds in isolation. As usual, you've put it better than I can!
That's really wrong. Children should always be allowed to see the word because that's what we do in reading! But please don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. At the level of the book shown, we should be aiming for supporting fluent reading. Here's my grandson reading.

@londonjohn9 Completely agree but all readable invented spelling!! How appalling to mark it all wrong. What are they doing to children.
@Carolin73927687 @londonjohn9 Fine but why give this test to a child who hasn’t?
@clivetaylor915 @londonjohn9 I loved number 9. And I can wiggle my ears… 🤣
Also 1. There is not just one way to implement the science, and there is no particular package / curriculum that is perfect for doing that
I make an effort to explain the #scienceofreading #sor (but really, it’s just science!) … but Sharon Vaughn clarifies many misconceptions about the science probably better than anyone: misconception number 1: we understand and implement” evidence-based reading instruction.
When have you ever seen any publisher of reading programs say their program is not evidence or science based? They all do, and have for decades It. Is. Marketing. [Big tobacco had research showing cigarettes didn't cause cancer, remember]
Such an important repost! "Note that lies and attacks show they have no real rebuttals, just lies and attacks" (and this has become an all too common SoR knee jerk reaction)
Since a co-authored article of mine has triggered the SOR trolls and their only response is personal attacks and LIES, let me offer some clarifications on social media. Note that lies and attacks show they have no real rebuttals, just lies and attacks a thread 1/
“A multilingual perspective on reading instruction cannot proceed monolingually without attention to language resources, meaning, & meta language for Emergent Bilinguals.” 🤩🙏🏼theoretical grounding with practical implications that I will be using in my work going forward!

Today’s blog has Part Two of the three-part interview with Dr. George Hruby. In it he talks about comprehension and comprehension models. Lots of unpack- please have a look! doctorsam7.blog/2024/04/13/dr-…
@londonjohn9 Here in the US there’s a dazzling array of reading approaches. Great teachers ignore most of it and foster a love of story with real books.
So now the podcast seems to acknowledge that learning to read is more complex than the current SOR movement’s version. Now the podcast brings in implicit learning and the role of wide reading. Now the podcast uses terms like “complex task.”
Now the podcast acknowledges that strict top-down policies (aka legislation by states) don’t really work. Now the podcast mentions the need to course correct in case things don’t work out. Because it’s “messy.”
Perhaps if those who had the largest voices in pushing SOR policies that don’t reflect all the available research had listened to all the voices who asked them to consider the complexity of literacy acquisition, we wouldn’t be in the position to have to course correct already.
Living through the most drastic pendulum swing of my 30+ years in early literacy is disheartening, to say the least. So upsetting. Maybe we need to be more careful about who we choose to follow.
