Adding to my list!

Dove into some science of reading resources during planning time this afternoon. So happy to see the push for explicit and systematic approach to phonics, stopping the cueing approach and the importance of decodable texts in our schools.

Retweet if you know the science of reading and you agree! Slide is from Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D. overview of SOR on YouTube! #scienceofreading #SOR

Teachers must be empowered to teach phonics and decoding skills. How are schools helping teachers with this and providing the resources our kids need? #SOR #Scienceofreading
