The #ScienceOfReading is not something you can go out &purchase. It does not come in a neat little box in the mail. It cannot be learned overnight by reading 1 book. It is a passionate journey that you embark on, sometimes alone or sometimes, if you’re lucky, with a friend.🧵

One thing I’ve learned in my 20+ years of teaching is that no resource, no matter how amazing it is, can teach a child to read. The magic is in the instruction. These decodable books from @scholasticCDA are fantastic but what makes the books decodable is the instruction BEFORE

Our High school Ts often feel left out in #ScienceOfReading PD. But our students in Gr9-12 who have fallen through the cracks need explicit, systematic literacy instruction too! If we didn’t catch them (and help them) in the early grades, they need it now.

What’s the #BackwardDesignOfReading The Backward design of reading is the understanding that reading a book and understanding the book is the GOAL of reading instruction, not our starting point. Oral language skills (articulation, spoken discourse, pragmatics) are the starting

“He has written cat on the board and we talk about the sounds. I can hear only one sound- cat- but he says that the word has three separate sounds. It feels like he’s telling me the sky is yellow.” Best book I’ve read in a long time and I implore every classroom teacher to read

We know the Simple View of Reading. We know Ss need decoding AND Language comp’n skills. But what are the instructional strategies to teach them?! Thank you @marthakovack for helping develop this SVR quadrant with strategies for every S. This is research to classroom practice.

I used a Backward Design for my M.Ed &am using it again to explain the importance of oral language skills, speech & articulation to educators. The Backwards Design of Reading simplifies what Ss need BEFORE we hand them a book. Oral language= foundation for reading. @LimestoneDSB

@DanWuori I appreciate this so much as an elementary classroom teacher!!Students have become so accustomed to an adult jumping in to help them/rescue them- put on their coat, take the cap off their yogurt, tie their shoes, etc- that it’s become learned helplessness. Children who persist
