Here are some of my 1st graders BEFORE and AFTER writing assessments...before my writing instruction began and after 10 weeks of explicit writing instruction using Science of Writing Instruction ! First grade! 1/9 Student A Before:

If you listened to Emily Hanford's podcast Sold a Story and would like to know what's going on in math, please check out my podcast! A good episode to start with is this one, which explores parallels between reading and math with Matt Burns Matthew Burns. open.spotify.com/episode/277F6u…

Meta-analysis by Matthew Burns of repeated reading studies confirmed effectiveness for increasing fluency (especially for students with disabilities), whether done in pairs, sm group or 1:1, & found using text chosen based on accuracy got best results. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15…

Scientific Studies of Reading Matthew Burns has researched this for years. It's called a skill-by-treatment interaction. (Great summary- link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…)

"Comparing similar Ss, math instruction makes a meaningful difference in S learning, they conclude. Lower achievers were helped the most by teacher-directed instruction, but high achievers also did better." When is public ed going to get the message? tinyurl.com/3x252vf2

Thanks for this, Kate! This is a timely share as the subscription price will increase at the end of December, so lock in the lower rate now!

I’m looking forward to partnering with Learning Ally to present on MTSS as the framework for implementing the science of reading!

#1 most downloaded podcast of the year! Everyone is thinking about MTSS and SoR. Let’s get it right for kids!
