My Orton-Gillingham training changed the way I approach reading instruction. I adapted many OG strategies for my #MLL students including Code packs. Code packs are an essential strategy for students who cannot guess or predict words they don’t know. The only way to read a word is by sounding... it out. But to sound it out, they MUST know the individual letter/sound associations. This is the focus of Emily Hanford’s Sold A Story podcast. Note: This is ONE of many important instructional strategies within a #StructuredLiteracy approach that helps with word reading skills for struggling #FSL readers. There is a LOT more to SL than this. Reading is complex. And hard work is hard. But our students are worth it❤️❤️❤️ Institute for Multi-Sensory Educationshow more

@TLMarkides Really enjoyed the @IDA_Ontario spelling and decoding course. All of our MLL teachers made code packs in the Fall to use with our students as a result of this training. :)

> "if kids aren't being taught to sound out words, then how are they being taught to read?" Teachers tell students to just guess at the words. When I say this, people think I mean it metaphorically, but no, I mean students are being told to literally guess at words. Here's a teacher training video where a teacher demonstrates how she teaches a class of kindergarteners to "read" a word that THEY CAN'T SEE The teacher refers to this as "reading and analyzing text". She was taught that guessing at pictures IS reading, and now parrots that nonsense to any other students, parents, and teachers who will listen.

I literally can’t believe what I just watched Michigan is ranked 44th in 4th grade reading nationally and only 38% of 3rd graders are proficient in reading So lawmakers passed a new law. Now in schools students will be taught to sound out words…. This had been moved away from and instead students were being told to just use a different word if they didn’t know how to pronounce the word they were trying to read I can’t believe this is how low we’ve sunk as a country…… Teacher in Michigan explains how they have been teaching. “So if the sentence was, "We are meeting after school," and a student got to the word ‘meeting’ and they didn't know how to read the word ‘meeting,’ I might have said, "Use the words that you do know.” Whoever has done this to our education system needs to be locked up. This is clearly intentionally destroying our kids education

I rise for students, teachers, families, and everyone out there frightened about what’s happening to education. We won’t stand by while they dismantle education, gut civil rights, and attack programs that serve all students, including students with disabilities. In New Mexico, we know that our children are our future and education is the key. Which is why I’m in this fight all the way!

I raised my concerns today regarding free speech on our university campuses. 🏛️ Whether it's Zionist views, gender-critical perspectives or climate scepticism, there is a demonstrable two-tier approach to free speech playing out across our higher education institutions and it is students who are bearing the brunt of it. The Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act was passed precisely to give students the right to bring complaints to the Office for Students. I posed this to the Minister today and I do not believe his response was correct. It is, after all, called the Office for Students, not the Office for Everyone on Campus Except Students. The Free Speech Union

Our education system is failing miserably Black American is asked to read this simple sentence The only words she can read is the word ‘funding’ and a couple more but can’t read or even pronounce most of the other words Here are the English proficiency score percentages according to national data Elementary School - White students: ~35–40% proficient - Black students: ~15–20% proficient Middle School - White students: ~30–35% proficient - Black students: ~12–18% proficient High School - White students: ~35–40% proficient - Black students: ~15–20% proficient Now obviously there is a gap here where white students are twice as likely to be proficient at reading compared to black students but that’s not the point The point is nobody passes on average. Even at 40% that’s less than half our kids finishing high school proficient at English This is horrible

Vivian, Student: Many university students are struggling with the high cost of living. They skip meals, calling it ‘kuinama’, and they share accommodation to cater for rent. It’s like we are paying more and living worse. There is uncertainty after graduation due to limited job opportunities. We invest in education, but the outcome is unclear, and this raises the question: Is education worth it economically? While policies and budgets may exist on paper, the daily reality for students suggests a gap between government expenditure and daily outcomes. Money is being spent, but we don’t see the outcome #CitizenMondayReport

"Hmm, a word I've never seen written before. I will sound it out based on the letters that compose it. Cah-ah-tuh. Cat! I've heard that word before, and now I know how to spell it! How intuitive!" That's how we used to teach reading. It had a proven track record of success. Now they literally tell kids to just guess what the word is and actively discourage them from sounding them out, and are surprised less than a third of American eighth graders can read at grade level.

Daniel Dennett on "deepities" the profound-sounding claims that are secretly empty Philosopher Daniel Dennett has a name for a type of statement that sounds wise but actually says nothing: a deepity. He explains it this way: "A deepity is an apparently profound observation that is ambiguous. It has two readings. On one reading it's obviously false, but if it were true it would be very important. And on the other it's trivially true." The trick is in the ambiguity. When you hear a deepity, part of your brain registers the trivially true reading and thinks yes, that's correct. But another part is reaching for the dramatic, important-sounding reading and that's where the illusion of profundity comes from. Dennett's favourite example, which he uses when teaching the concept to students: "Love is just a word." It sounds deep. Think about it for a moment and it feels like it's gesturing at something real. That love is intangible, constructed, perhaps even illusory. But Dennett dismantles it immediately: "Whatever love is, it isn't a word. You can't find love in the dictionary." That's the "use-mention error" confusing the word love with the thing love refers to. Once you put quotation marks around it properly, the statement collapses into something utterly banal: "love" is just a word. Well, yes. So is "cheeseburger." So is "word." The deepity survives only because we don't slow down enough to ask which reading we're actually accepting. Once you have the word "deepity," you start seeing them everywhere: in self-help, in politics, in philosophy.

Zoe Saldana is a hero and champion for dyslexia. To put herself out there, and expose something so personal, took a lot of guts. Thank you for that. Dyslexia is a neurobiological disorder that affects phonological processing and word retrieval. I know that’s a mouthful but there is power in knowledge. While dyslexics struggle with reading, and word retrieval, the way their brain is wired, they actually have an advantage in creativity and thinking “outside the box.” At my daughter’s school, they refer to dyslexia as their “super power.” Not unlike Zoe Saldana in The Avengers. The problem is, the majority of cases are not diagnosed, the children do not get the proper treatment, and that super power is never realized. 20% of school aged children have dyslexia, but only 4% are diagnosed. That’s a LOT of untapped potential out there. It’s possible many people reading this post are dyslexic and don’t realize it. Notable dyslexics include: Albert Einstein Michael Faraday Steven Spielberg Loenoardo da Vinci F. Scott Fitzgerald George Washington Nelson Rockefeller King Carl XVI Gustaf Imagine what the world would be like without their contributions. Please spread the word.

How do we help learners find a pathway to success that is meaningful to them? Too often, “success” is determined by others for our students, but everyone reading this right now could consider themselves successful, but have very different measures on what that means to them. If I don’t have a say on what success looks like to me, why would I care about getting to someone else’s destination? This is something I have been thinking about a lot since I was the opening keynote at #NAGC23 this past week, and how I emphasized the importance of focusing on bringing out the gifts in EVERY learner we serve, including our adults. We can’t bring out the best in our students if we only focus on the deficits of what we do as adults in education. It is imperative that we don’t just “value” people but that people feel valued. There is a difference in those two ideas. Here is a question I have really been focused on over the last few years; Do our students walk out of school all good at the same thing, or do they all walk out knowing they are good at something? Not everything that is important to bring out the gifts in our students can be easily measured, but not all things that matter can fit into nice and neat metrics. Helping learners find their own gifts within education ensures that they are more likely to find that pathway to success that matters most to them. NAGC

This is extremely serious “The literacy crisis is worse than you think it is. I'm an ex-high school history and government teacher” She explains most students cent read past a 4 letter word and students fail consistently at spelling their own name correctly, in high school…. “It's not just that the kids can't read. I mean, they can't. If it's longer than a 4 letter word, then go ahead and count that as a loss. They don't know how to capitalize. They don't know how to punctuate. They can't write more than a paragraph. Honestly, a paragraph is generous, but it's more than that. They have no reading comprehension. They have no critical thinking skills. They can't read an article or a paragraph and pull out critical information in order to help answer a question. And I know a lot of you are thinking like, "Well, you're the teacher. That's your job is to teach them how to do those things." And it's like, well, actually, I'm a high school history teacher. They are past the point of me teaching them how to read higher than an elementary school reading level. My job isn't to teach them how to read. That was the teachers before them. And I'm not blaming them either — it's a much bigger problem than me just not teaching them how to read. I had a student in high school who could not consistently spell their name correctly on the paper. Literally, I would get it, and it'd be spelled different every time and obviously not right every single time. And when I mentioned that I think that they should be in the special ed classroom rather than my high school world history classroom, I was told that I don't know about inclusivity” “No Child Left Behind has really, really hurt the education system — There is going to be a noticeably huge gap in generations when it comes to literacy, in advancements in our society because there's no reason that the majority of the students I taught cannot read or write above elementary school level, honestly”

WOW 🚨 Middle school teacher in California says they were instructed to no longer teach students how to sound out words Students are now being taught lists of words to memorize instead of sounding out new words. “Sounding it out” is now treated as bad practice Spelling and understanding words is no longer a priority. “I should not mark them down for spelling — we stopped doing spelling tests. We didn't wanna mark kids down if we understood the entire paper but they had some words misspelled. We didn't want to lower their grades.” “We don't teach phonics because there are exceptions to the rule — I felt something deep within my soul that said this is wrong — So we started this thing, particularly in California, where we have what's called sight words. They're not words that you actually need to decode. They are words that you just have to simply memorize. I want you guys to remember, back in the day, they had those commercials for My Baby Can Read. My baby could not read because my baby could not decode, my baby was simply memorizing what the letters look like together and then memorizing the word” “We used to fail kids — But to avoid looking like racists or looking like they were discriminatory, schools stopped holding kids back because they were noticing that some of the kids who were held back were minority students, namely black and brown students.” “We stopped really doing like honors, advanced. They're trying to avoid that thing because they don't want people to feel bad. They don't want to seem like they're discriminatory” She says students that are way below their grade level are just put in normal classes “This is what's happening. Yes, students cannot read” I looked into it and one of the main reasons to keep using this method of abandoning phonics and just memorizing words was driven by foreign born students who don’t speak English

This might be the best "AI Engineer" I've tried so far. I'm an old school developer who started 30 years ago. I feel very uncomfortable letting AI take control of my code, but for the sake of science, I spent two hours building an application that took me weeks to build a couple of years ago. I used Pythagora, a brand new tool backed by Y Combinator. They just released to the public. Keep in mind that I use AI every day to write code, but Pythagora is something different: it's a tool that leads, and uses you—the human—as the copilot. I go into more details in the video, but here is the TLDR; 1. Holy molly! We've made a ton of progress on this front! This is way better than Devin when I tested it a few months back. 2. Love the approach of generating a plan with sub-tasks before writing any code. 3. The tools never tries to do too much: it tackles every small task one at a time, and gives you instructions so you test everything. 4. It does exactly what you'd do when it gets stuck: writes a bunch of logs and uses those to correct itself. Pretty neat! 5. It's fast. It runs locally. It's an extension to Visual Studio Code. I'm impressed, but I don't think this tool is for me. I'm not the type of developer who's ready to relinquish control. I felt I had no connection with the code because I didn't write it. It was not my code. I know many people who don't care about this. I know many people who will get tremendous value out of Pythagora. I hope they keep pushing the limits, providing feedback, and helping this get to a point where old folks like me feel more comfortable using it. Don't take my word for it. The best thing you can do is to give it a try and see how you feel using it. Thanks to the team who built this, for all of the explanations and support, and especially, for sitting and listening to my dumb questions for 2 hours while I tested this.

The Atlantic just ran a piece called "The Age of Reading Is Over." We are literally losing the ability to read anything longer than an Instagram post. This is not good. Think about history for a second. During the slave trade, what was the one thing punishable by death? Teaching a slave to read. Why? Because tyrants have always known that literacy is the ultimate key to human freedom. Less than half of American adults read a single book in 2022. It’s so bad that a staffer at Harvard actually complained that assigning books to students is "arbitrarily withholding information" because it forces them to use a "difficult medium." Let that sink in. IVY LEAGUE STUDENTS have a hard time reading something and then paraphrasing it. If we stop reading, we go straight back to the dark ages. We'll be sitting around waiting for a government agency or an AI script to tell us what the Constitution means through a paraphrased post on X.
