iReady does not have a nationally normed ORF measure. NWEA MAP does not have a nationally normed ORF measure. STAR does not have a nationally normed ORF measure. It’s a *really good idea* to have a nationally normed ORF measure Gr 1-5 e.g. DIBELS, Aimsweb, Acadience, Fastbridge

Words, words, words. It's not all there is to reading. But knowing how to read words is essential. And teaching kids how to do it has been an afterthought in schools for too long. We get to the bottom of why, in our new podcast. This is the video trailer. youtube.com/watch?v=QaG3dg…

At last night’s meeting, I recommended some #free and inexpensive resources for #parents: 1) John Walker, Sounds-Write free parent course on #udemy! 2) @teachmykidtorea free BRI #decodablebooks 3) Word Wasp manuals that work on #reading and #spelling w/ coaching pages and record keeping.

If you know me, you know how much I love Medina. So proud of the teachers @MedinaCSD who are on this journey! ❤️💙 Thank you The Reading League #TRLConf2022 #scienceofreading

My statement below w/Brad Hoylman-Sigal 🌈🥯 on Governor Kathy Hochul misguided & cynical veto of the Dyslexia Task Force Act. The Governor’s veto means NY will continue to rank among the worst states in the country for addressing dyslexia and implementing an evidence based literacy curriculum.

Join the conversation with me on 9/20. We can’t wait to answer your questions about decodable texts 📖
