Charlotte Peverett (she/her) 💉💉🦠 💉💉🦠💉 does incredible work to ensure children with disabilities have a life of choice, and don't have potentially limiting and misguided decisions made on their behalf. We need the expertise of people like Charlotte leading the way!

The DLD diagnostics toolbox by Lisa Archibald is such a fantastic resource. If you assess children's language, you should read it.

It's so practical, recognises the nuances & complexities & discusses wording you can out in reports that recognises that.

Thanks ⁦Melissa & Lori Love Literacy podcast⁩ for another informative conversation - this time with ⁦Pam Kastner⁩ on some nuances around the relationship between reading & spelling. Skills in each support the other but they are not just two sides of the same coin. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/mel…

Fantastic thread on the characteristics between explicit instruction as a cohesive, coherent pedagogical approach (not just explaining the LI and success criteria), or giving some instructions. Misconceptions abound in the space!!

A 🧵 on explicit instruction, in light of the NSW announcement.
1: I would have not only told you I was teaching explicitly in my first years of teaching, but been highly offended if you had suggested I wasn’t. Spoiler alert: I was giving one explicit instruction 1/

Benefit to teaching *phonological awareness ALONE*?

Paper by Melissa Stalega with me and others about whether there is a benefit to teaching PA alone...

Basically:
Teaching PA: better PA
Teaching PA WITH letters: better PA AND better word reading.

Oral reading fluency (ORF), in many studies, has a 0.7 - 0.9 coefficient correlation with reading comprehension.

That’s one of the most mind blowing statistics I’ve come across in education. Thanks Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D.
