I’ve added a list of books to Teaching by Science that have helped me to improve my knowledge of evidence based teaching. I am sure that they are many other amazing books out there, but I didn’t want to endorse anything I hadn’t personally read.

I’ll be making a lot of additions to this over the next month. If you see something you feel is missing, please let me know.

I'm very proud to share a new, first-of-its-kind analysis and data tool from my team at @educationwork.newamerica.org.
Redrawing the Lines is a first-ever look at how, if states draw school district borders with equity as the goal, they can HUGELY reduce funding inequality and segregation. #edusky
Redistricting School Systems Can Increase Funding Fairness and Decrease Segregation
A new report and interactive data tool show how specific redistricting choices can create fairer school systems for our children.

I just dropped these 5 free early-phonics workbooks. They cover basic consonant sounds and soft vowel sounds. They also include 25 decodable texts.

And how does that prove whole language works?

Her wrong interpretation of NAEP scores as a journalist, does not disprove the research done for decades showing Whole Language does not work.

That’s incredibly kind of you to say! I’m not sure I meet that standard though. But I’m honoured that you think so highly of me.

I have been a public opponent to charter schools and private schools for almost a decade.

So you admit that there is a mountain of research against you. But you slander my paper without reading it. What an open minded and nuanced position.
September 15, 2025 at 8:57 PM
Straw man. You have no nuance that you have suggested.
September 15, 2025 at 8:53 PM
You cited a blog and a newspaper article. The England study is not an RCT or a meta. It’s correlational, not causative data. Scientific studies have consistently shown the same thing for decades. (NRP, 2000); (Camilli, 2003); (Steubings, 2008); (Torgerson; 2019). All found SP outperformed WL.

I’m a libertarian socialist. Next straw man please.
September 15, 2025 at 8:46 PM
Great. Where’s your academic citation.
September 15, 2025 at 8:45 PM
The reading wars debate is not over whether we have a reading crisis, it’s on WL or SP. If you say there is no science of reading, the logical conclusion is that you believe WL is superior to SP.

Please show me your peer reviewed citation to suggest Whole Language is better than Systematic Phonics.
