What a week in St. John’s! Alicia Smith and I were blown away by the warm welcome from wonderful educators in NFLD. An incredible time talking about structured literacy, plus some screeching in fun 😊

We've heard lots of great questions about screening recently! Ever wondered if there is still a place for running records like the DRA or BAS? Do they give us additional information on top of screening data? Catch this quick video from Marlene Perry to learn more!

Curious about MTSS? I just registered for 2 webinars through the MSJ Centre for Reading Science - one on MTSS implementation with Amy Murdoch and Larissa Phillips, and another on MTSS and School Leadership with the always fabulous Renata Archie, Ed.D.! readingscience.org/events-1

It's a time of big changes to literacy in Ontario & the benchmarks *can* seem challenging. The wonderful Nellie Caruso explains how it is so important to screen with fidelity, following the standardized instructions so we have reliable data on every young reader in Ontario.

Teachers and school leaders are being urged to change how they spot struggling readers and intervene sooner. The Manitoba Universal Screening Symposium made the case for mandating standardized check-ins w/ K-2s to detect early signs of struggle #mbed #wfp winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2…

Maggie Macintosh Thank you for your coverage on such an important topic! #DyslexiaAwareness #RightToRead #UniversalScreening
