We agree: providing *all* students with high-quality, evidence-based instruction —including (but not limited to) explicit, systematic phonics in the early grades—is social justice work. Glad to see this critical issue getting attention in today’s @nytimes! nytimes.com/2020/02/15/us/re…

PISA 2018 results verdict: We can and must do better, Australia.
If we had maintained our mean reading score from PISA 2000, we would be ranked in the top 3 in PISA 2018.
Evidence-based Systematic Synthetic Phonics instruction for all new, graduate teachers would be a practical answer to the Reading component of this problem. apple.news/AWYwGcl4BSiqznWhe…

"It's not phonics only. It's phonics early, and it's phonics really, really well. That makes the decoding word take up very little cognitive energy and frees up a lot of space for comprehension and critical thinking." - @drheidibc

How anyone can watch the kids at The Pavilion School learning to decode and spell and not be moved to do something about improving early reading instruction is beyond me. #4corners
