- reading a word then not recognizing the same word when they see it on the next page or next sentence even simple words

- instead of reading a word correctly they say a word that is pictured on the page. For example they might read bath time as bed time if the book has a picture of bed on the page

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history!

Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

Although 15 - 20% of students are dyslexic, dyslexia accommodation isn’t a standard part of most classrooms. It could be -- without causing extra work for teachers. Leverage technology!

Cool new natural playground in Salt Lake City along the Jordan River. I remember seeing some of those playgrounds in Northern Europe, and they were super popular.
This new playground, open space marks a milestone for Salt Lake City
A new open space marks the first completed project tied to an $85 million bond that Salt Lake residents approved three years ago. It could also help in a transformation of the Jordan River.

Students can memorize phonics rules,

with no comprehension.

Start with phonics; don't stop there!

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:

“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”
