My last district used Lucy Caukins-based curriculum for reading and LLI for intervention. They never made any growth. That's when I started my #SOR journey and found West Virginia Phonics. Shortly after UFLI came along. So much growth in a short period of time!

We need to be teaching this stuff to kids in school. It is as important as general reading comprehension and basic financial literacy; maybe more so.

📢 NEW infographic: False context, misrepresentation, stolen satire & selective edits - these are 4 common tricks of context bad actors use to make #disinformation go viral on social media.

Get tips for debunking such tricks: bit.ly/TricksOfCont...

#NewsLiteracy
Text-heavy infographic on DETECTING TRICKS OF CONTEXT. People who create misinformation designed to go viral on social media have an array of tools and tactics at their disposal. Simple tricks of context are one of the most common, mostly because they are effective and relatively easy to produce. For example, removing an authentic visual from its original context and presenting it with a false claim is a low-effort, effective tactic to mislead people. Visuals paired with text can feel like compelling evidence – even when they’re not. Watch out for these four common tricks of context and use these tips to avoid being fooled. ● False context: Presenting genuine media in an entirely new, false context. ○ Example: A years-old photo being presented as if it were taken during a recent event. ● Misrepresentation: Presenting accurate facts or genuine visuals in a misleading fashion. ○ Example: An accurate statistic presented without important information, such as the time frame of the data. ● Stolen satire: Presenting satirical content as if it were accurate information from a reliable source. ○ Example: A satirical article or meme shared without a disclaimer labeling it as satire. ● Selective edits: Removing essential context from a piece of media to create a false understanding of an issue or event. ○ Example: A misleading shortened clip that creates an inaccurate perception of something a person said. DEBUNKING TRICKS OF CONTEXT 1. Pause to gauge emotions. 2. Use a reverse image search to find the original source of a visual. 3. Stay skeptical if you don't recognize the source – or if its credibility is questionable. 4. Check to see if the claim in question has been covered by a high-quality source, such as a standards-based news organization.
