“We have to get reading instruction right.” Yes. Yes we do. @HP3potential #trlconf2025
Onward and upward!
The Alabama Literacy Act is proving it is working! On #LiteracyDay, we are reminded that a strong start matters, and we’re making sure every child can read by the third grade. Reading scores are on the rise among every demographic of Alabama students. #alpolitics

Scoop from @Trish_Crain: Alabama schools held back 452 third graders at the end of the 2023-24 school year because of the accountability requirements of the Alabama Literacy Act. That's a lot less than critics of the law feared. aldailynews.com/alabama-retain… #alpolitics

This!
“The question becomes how will those students [in between sufficient and on grade level] be flagged to receive the additional supports that we know they need,” literacy expert @kymyona_burk said. @ExcelinEd al.com/educationlab/2… #aledchat
Hard to communicate with parents?
"We'll work on that," Mackey said, "it's hard to communicate with parents." #ALBOE
"We'll work on that," Mackey said, "it's hard to communicate with parents." #ALBOE
It's worth noting that Dr. Mackey's slide still stated that 91% of students are reading "on grade level" - which isn't what the 91% figure represents. It represents "sufficiency," which is a lower bar than on grade level which is a lower bar than proficiency. #ALBOE
🧵We are committed to fostering ongoing collegial dialogues with experts and researchers that are firmly rooted in truth and evidence. 🔗: thereadingleague.org/media/the-read… 4/4
“Just because everyone gets Tier 1 doesn't mean they all get the same Tier 1.” AMEN @sstollar6 A blog for every literary teacher/leader to read. So many misconceptions about this. readingscienceacademy.com/blog/Tier%201
