Education has been under attack

This is the research driven proof you need to know as a teacher or parent to understand why kids cannot read. The corporate manipulation of data and theory is a fact. This is the rabbit hole they never wanted you to know about. Thank you to the strong and honest authors and creators of this podcast.

Wow

What are we doing as educators and why are we ignoring the research? Shocking and eye-opening. It reminds me of the pharmaceutical companies getting rich off keeping people sick. Now we have publishing companies getting rich off keeping kids from reading shameful. We have to do better. All of our kids are depending on us.

You need a toolbox to be a teacher.

Reading and making meaning about what you read are two ideas that can work together if taught right. Students need structured reading and writing that include understanding sound letter relationships, word patterns, sight words and sentence structure. That combined with cues can help students make meaning with new information. You need to teach all the tools to your students.
