I have to put this out there - executive functioning interventions do not improve reading skills. Multiple meta-analyses have shown a lack of effect.

Hello Friends,
There was a request to create the infographic I created of MTSU's, 5 Common Reading Errors and How You Can Help, with a white background.

Teachers are expected to use evidence-based approaches and strategies- yet no one has ever trained us how to read and interpret research!
Huge thanks to @rastokke who, this past weekend at the @researchEDCan conference, shared this 1-page “red flags for education research” for teachers and, just as importantly, the literacy coaches and consultants who are telling us what to do! Find it here: annastokke.com/_files/ugd/59…

New study in @CanadianJSP found that instructional level (93% to 97% known words) and interest predicted time on task with kids in middle school. @jonie__welland @reading_league @nasponline @CECMembership @ILAToday @leadforliteracy researchgate.net/publication…

My longest and possibly most important 🧵 to date.
Educators and educational leaders need to hear @amandavande1 discussing the science of learning on the latest episode @IDA_Ontario's Reading Road Trip.
Here are some highlights - which quote resonates with you most?
🚗 Season 3 wraps up with a jam-packed episode featuring @amandavande1. Kate and Amanda have a wide-ranging conversation about the science of learning and human behaviour - how do children learn new things? From the instructional hierarchy to incremental rehearsal, don't miss this fabulous episode! #ReadingRoadTrip

It really is all the science of learning. Shout-outs to @burnsmk1 @rastokke @rscodding & Ben Solomon at SUNY
Don’t miss our season finale, a must-listen for anyone in education.
The science of learning, including research- and evidence-based instructional practices, applies beyond literacy.
I learned so much from @amandavande1 & loved our entire conversation - I think you will too!

All four sessions of @DyslexiaCanada Empowering Literacy series for BC educators are now available on YouTube! Collectively, they have been viewed over 1000 times so far! Please share and let the learning continue, far and wide across #bced.
Thanks to all involved in helping to make this series happen, and to the dedicated teachers, administrators and others who attended live and who have watched the recordings. Thanks again to Minister @RachnaSinghNDP and Premier @Dave_Eby for attending Sessions 1 and 3, respectively. You support is so greatly appreciated!

Words to live by, spoken by one of, if not the best, scholars in academic assessment & intervention.
Fluency "gives children an advantage as they progress through the math curriculum” said Lynn Fuchs. “In all walks of life the strongest musicians, the most skillful athletes, they do drills and practice”

It can be hard to describe the full scope and comprehensive role of a school psychologist. This resource can aid you in communicating the importance of all that school psychologists do. #SchoolPsychWeek bit.ly/3DF7UHW

Some takeaways: Accommodations for anxiety should gradually be removed b/c they tend to make symptoms worse long-term. Gradual exposure to fear situation helps anxious students learn they can cope so fear decreases over time. @rscodding @musingsofadr open.spotify.com/episode/4aM…
