I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to join 2 of my @ReadCLT teammates to talk with the amazing @FSP_Charlotte Student Leader Interns today about their opportunity to build Freedom School Scholars' listening comprehension skills this summer. What a great way to start my day.

Great summary of a range of evidence-based strategies & advice to improve early #literacy outcomes. At @ReadCLT we work to support many of these strategies & approaches through our work. @readingby3rd
During the pandemic, students’ reading performance declined, especially in younger grades. A new #EdResearch4Recovery brief by @hgse’s James Kim & Zhongyu Wei highlights evidence-based strategies to help improve reading outcomes. @Results4America bit.ly/3A6VHM9

Replying to @SVPCLT @ReadCLT
Thanks for having me. And to be clear: the goal is to ensure that ALL children have a life full of opportunity. A key early milestone is ensuring that they are able to read well by the end of third grade.

Since 2015, I've been obsessed with using data and evidence to understand the “real-world physics of literacy instruction” to solve the #readingcrisis. Here’s what we uncovered at @ReadCLT that you should know about. A thread. 1/22
