Programs that qualify working for AL students are linked here by age group. If they aren't here, they are not approved. It's that simple. When someone presents you with false info about reading programs for AL students, PUSH BACK with the FACTS. bit.ly/ALAfacts

In a series of high-profile moves, educators, policymakers and parents have begun turning away from Lucy Calkins' materials. Now, Calkins' group at Columbia is signaling a shift in thinking about how their work aligns with scientific research on reading. apmreports.org/story/2020/10…

An internal document from the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project says aspects of the balanced literacy approach it uses to train teachers need “rebalancing.” apmreports.org/story/2020/10…

And there’s a new podcast episode. apmreports.org/amp/episode/2…
A staggering 37% of Georgia 4th-graders CAN’T READ at a basic level. 68% can’t read proficiently.
Why? Because some of the most popular reading programs JUST DON'T WORK for many students.

In my years of reporting on reading, I haven’t met a teacher who didn’t want her/his students to be good readers. But I’ve met a lot of who didn’t know what cognitive scientists have figured out abt how reading comprehension works. Listen @EducatePodcast apmreports.org/episode/2020/…

I've spent the better part of the past 3.5 yrs reporting on how children are taught to read and what scientists have figured out about how children learn -- and the shocking disconnect.
In this presentation, I tell the story of what I've learned. youtube.com/watch?v=GO4_S26g…
