Just published meta-analysis (open access): Morphology instruction is effective for improving reading and spelling outcomes, and spelling effects can transfer to untrained words – but we still need to learn more about why it works and how best to teach it doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-0…

All my reading peeps: what is a classic, conceptual paper on word reading that stands the test of time, that you think everyone learning about reading development should read? Not a data paper but a nice, juicy conceptual paper.

For the Winter Solstice today, an ancient Celtic melody now known as The Breton Carol. I learned this tune from the late great Paddy Maloney of The Chieftains and I've always thought it captured the magic of the darkest day of the year. Happy Solstice from the west of Ireland

"Still, if we could get kids to perform as well as or better than the RR kids using parent volunteer tutors who had a week of training, my estimation of the value of RR was shattered." -Holly Lane shanahanonliteracy.com/blog/…

Excited about this new preprint with the World Bank in which we argue that the science of reading is key to raising outcomes for pupils in low- and middle-income countries. #phonics #reading #LMICs #literacy psyarxiv.com/2qxm9

‘I do, we do, you do’ is something all teachers should follow. But it is misleading… It’s more like; I do, I do, we do, we do, we do, we do, we do, we do, we do, then most of you do, while we do, we do, then all of you do. Did I mention ‘we do’ enough?

Happy Friday everyone. I had AI generate selfies from important moments in Canadian history. I use AI to raise interest in Canadian history by presenting it in a fun way. 1. Vikings arriving in Newfoundland in 1000 CE. 🧵1/13

It was very cool to hear journalist @ehanford, classroom educator @moorhead_emily and researcher @JamieMetsala come together in this CBC episode with @mattgallowaycbc. Common theme: we need to teach our students to read and it doesn’t happen the way we originally thought: cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-6… We have a new Ontario Curriculum, we have the research. It’s now time to put it into classroom practice. @TheCurrentCBC

Acts of kindness that feel small to us have a big impact on others. Research: kids and adults underestimate how tiny acts of generosity lift others' moods. There's no easier way to make someone's day than to offer a compliment, give a little gift, or send a handwritten note.
