Wait …. This is a real post?

I’ll look into it! Thanks.

The website DysgraphiaLife is a rich resource pare both parents and teachers.

Sounds amazing - and as someone who works with dyslexic kids, love to see that quote!

I’m always fascinated by kids who remember learning to read! I have vague kindergarten memories of something like Dick and Jane. And then yeah, exposing kids to ALL kinds of books to open their world is so important.

Looking forward to them! I work with reading teachers and more and more come to me with a more rounded view of reading than even two years ago so I’m hopeful. Hope we can get sweeping change in training programs some how.

May I be added please?

My first wondering are about what brain imaging shows in the minds of deaf readers when they see a word compared to hearing readers.

How do you suggest we avoid getting burned by oversimplification of the issues now that politicians and parents are paying attention? I don’t think laws against 3 cueing, while well-intentioned, will do the trick. How do we get the real work of training new teachers done?

Looking through @timrasinski.bsky.social ’s book on fluency (not a “reseaerch book” but solidly based on it and so useful).

I agree. I’m struggling with how to help teachers understand their errors when they truly thought they saw progress. It wasn’t uncommon for kids to appear to be beginning readers at the end of 1st, only to fail a few years later. And when it’s part of your identity, it’s a bitter pill indeed.

As someone who talks about reading instruction on social media, it’s distressing to see that the simplification there has translated into a belief that some simple practices will fix everything. It must start in teacher training but where are the leaders and how do we accomplish that?

Sure would make things easier. Glad it worked out!

I’d love an add please! OG tutor, virtual reading teacher, retired from decades in the classroom.

Hi! I’m a reading teacher and have coached homeschool families for about a decade after work in classrooms. I’d love an add!

That’s exciting! Congratulations!

Super grateful no one has asked me to break that one down before!

Thanks. What a beautiful thing.

It’s a shame, because it simply creates a rush to sell a new product. As we know, the science is always growing and shifting, and leaving it to politicians to determine what makes a good reading program is unwise.
