If I were a teacher concerned about more programs being added to the literacy block in the name of SoR, here are two questions I would be asking: 1. When we bring in more foundational reading skill practice/resources, what are we pushing out? Possibilities: (1/2)
"...compare and contrast the media version of the Science of Reading (SOR) Movement with the comprehensive, researched Sciences of Reading to which Reading Recovery ascribes." Terrific open-access article from the Spring Journal of Reading Recovery! readingrecovery.org/wp-content/upl…
If you would like to learn more about engagement, motivation, and reading identity, please join us for this free webinar on May 7th.
Classroom experience and a plethora of research tells us that engagement in everything. Compliance is not engagement. @ILAToday @SarahNorsworth3 @DrMaryHoward @CarolJago @K8LitCon @TeresaCremin @OpenUni_RfP
Steven Strauss's informative webinar, "Debunking the Science of Reading Neuroscience Claims" is now available for viewing: gocabe.org/no_on_ab2222/. Thanks, CABE, for hosting. And thanks, Dr. Strauss, for sharing your extensive and relevant knowledge and experience.
Given the questionable neuroscience source citings from SoR Advocates, I encourage you to listen to this brilliant discussion by a legitimate expert in the field of neuroscience. Dr. Steven L. Strauss MD & PhD. Debunking SoR Neuroscience Claims gocabe.org/no_on_ab2222/
What a brave child. But children should not have to do this. America's public schools should be funded so that ALL children can access school libraries and have university-prepared librarians.

“…the term Structured Literacy, which became cojoined with the SOR Movement, was coined as a marketing ploy to unify various phonics programs under an umbrella term, as described on the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) website under the heading, Structured Literacy: A…

"So many letters and words on the wall could affect children with (or without) reading disabilities, neurodiverse learners, or children who need more development..." @NancyEBailey1 nancyebailey.com/2024/04/24/the…
Pro Tip Do not cite the National Read Panel report The NRP is greatly misunderstood, misrepresented, but also a 20+ yr old flawed political report Should not be driving claims about reading or informing policy
"Unfortunately, the dialogue about best practices for literacy has been preempted by folks interested in profit, not kids." #WhateverItTakes doctorsam7.blog/2024/04/20/dr-…
LOL at the desperate random SOR loyalists that argue people don't actually understand what SOR is. Like world-renowned researchers don't get it because they don't agree with "person who listened to a podcast"

Important message from Tom Ultican “SoR is about economic gain for its purveyors and not science based. When politicians and corporations control education, children and America lose.” dianeravitch.net/2024/04/20/tom…
Such an important repost! "Note that lies and attacks show they have no real rebuttals, just lies and attacks" (and this has become an all too common SoR knee jerk reaction)

What is right is not always popular "It seems that we’ve struck a nerve! The profiteers behind the Science of Reading (SOR) grift seem to be getting a little antsy that the education community wants proof of their over-hyped claims of silver bullets." readingrecovery.org/whatisright/
Also, as George Hruby points out recently, we would have to ban dictionaries since they organized round the 3 cueing systems: spelling/pronunciation (graphophonic), part of speech (syntax) and definition (semantic).
