Only 14% of 8th graders read on their own almost every day, according to the NAEP--a new low.
One reason? A focus on teaching comprehension "skills" has drained the joy from reading.
And it hasn't boosted comprehension.

This piece by @natwexler is a tour de force on a major issue:
The “learning sciences” – ie, research on how children learn – are undervalued-to-missing in K–12 Ed, including the preparation of US teachers.
This affects literacy and much more.

It takes curiosity to learn. It takes courage to unlearn.
Learning requires the humility to admit what you don't know today.
Unlearning requires the integrity to admit that you were wrong yesterday.
Learning is how you evolve. Unlearning is how you keep up as the world evolves.

If you liked @ParkerPhonics link to Ehri's co-authored article on reading in Portuguese, check out her Aug 2020 reflections on her phonics-related research. The insights are more nuanced, worth a read & focus largely on phonics instruction in English. ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…

Here is Linnea Ehri’s most recent study. It bears directly on the question: Are beginners best served with phoneme-grapheme instruction or with instruction which focuses on larger units such as onset-rime or syllables? ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…

I was blown away by how much I didn’t know about how to teach reading when I heard these. That was after a MA in teaching English and an ELL cert, as well as 7 yrs in the field-with all the PD those years entailed. This info needs to be much more widely known.

What is happening in classrooms is not adequately preparing the majority of students to read. An awareness of this reality is growing, the initial push for dyslexia legislation has morphed into efforts to exact changes to address this larger issue. mtsu.edu/dyslexia/blog/post/…

What research do you have that shows that? You’re making stuff up.
It is important learners hear different pronunciations; it means they focus intently to sound before repeating the sound using their dialect That’s what happens in @LexonikST sessions Lots of listening & sounding out with different pronunciations @ReadingShanahan @Sharon_Davis_
