@LanguageWhole I will be your “fren” - Sound Walls are a speech-to-print instructional tool that anchors speech sounds and their articulatory gestures to graphemes- advancing student reading, spelling, and writing. Bye, bye word walls and visually memorizing words!
Hey @LanguageWhole, guess what?? ✔️POOR READERS, not skilled readers, read based on the three-cueing system approach. ✔️CONTEXT is required for MEANING, but NOT for recognising familiar words. #LDAKilpatrick
"It's a misconception that children learn to read in different ways. This confuses teaching and learning. We teach reading in different ways; they learn to read proficiently in only one way." Dr David Kilpatrick #LDAKilpatrick @LD_Australia @FIVEfromFIVE @CodeReadNetwork
There is soooo much more to the science of reading than phonics and phonemic awareness. We won’t help your school apply a “phonics patch” to a core program that isn’t aligned with the research. As @SfinnFinn says, “that makes scrambled eggs.” Transformation is where we’re at.
We've been keeping something special under our 🎩. We're now delighted to reveal the first books in a major new series with @researchED1. Four out in September, two to follow in November, and more to come. Game changers. johncattbookshop.com/books/the-rese…
.@john_hattie continues to review and update his research. View the new chart with the most up-to-date research here! ow.ly/9ZG250uwInA
Announcing our newest, fiercest character: The Decoding Dragon! She chases the Guessing Monster away (can you spot all the balanced literacy animals that make up the Guessing Monster?). Feel free to download and share any way you see fit! The Decoding Dragon will be back soon!
I asked 300 enthusiastic SA teachers attending a conference on the importance of SSP whether they felt prepared to teach reading in their first year of teaching and no one raised their hand. It’s starting to feel a lot like Groundhog Day…that I watched on tele again last night.
South Australia is doing amazing work to improve literacy outcomes for students! So many educators becoming increasingly aware of the need for urgent change. #DontLeaveReadingToChance
Great evening spent with ✨#CodeREaD📕 Ambassador✨ @DrLSHammond who presented to 250 SA Educators on behalf of Dept Education’s Literacy Guarantee. Here we are with @ReadingDoctor, a SA legend. Events like this give us such hope! Well done SA‼️ #DontLeaveReadingToChance🇦🇺
Register for the Tailem Bend Literacy Guarantee Conference 2019 eventbrite.com.au/e/a-whole-scho… | Join @drlshammond to unpack and explore how the brain learns to read and the importance of phonological awareness and decoding to the reading process.
Two convention centres in two days. Delighted to be presenting at the Literacy Summit in Adelaide later today. SA is showing the way in implementing evidence-based reading instruction. Now listening to @JohnGardnerMP. #litsummit19
“We need to leave ideology and political leanings at the door and examine the evidence. The science of reading is well established. Children of low socio economic status need good literacy because it may very well be the only chance they have of escaping the cycle of poverty.” 👏

Reading Teachers - Despite the constuctivist philosophy that likely influenced your training, your role CAN'T be "guide on the side" when it involves teaching children to read. A "sage on the stage" is required. To learn the alphabetic code children need direct instruction.
A great example of why we need to be critical otherwise we could be mislead by supposed evidence.
Reading Recovery: Evidence from studies involving thousands of children shows a short term positive effect but no medium/long term benefit. cis.org.au/publications/p… @FIVEfromFIVE
Great interview. It's not rocket science to use the best evidence and pedagogy to teach Reading!! Why are 95% of NZ Teachers unaware of explicit synthetic phonics and decodable texts?? Come on NZ @TraceyMartinMP @lizkaneliteracy
Experts are calling for a back to basics approach when it comes to teaching children how to read. Leading literacy expert @lifelonglit joins us LIVE. #9News
*New Year Giveaway* I’m giving away 2 free signed copies of ‘Closing the Vocabulary Gap’ on January 1st for those teachers who want to start the new year with some fresh ideas. Simply RETWEET this tweet to be in with a chance to win 1 of the 2 books on offer. #giveaway
@AnneBoysHope @njstokreef @SMCDSB @mylakehead Inexcusable. Not only is current instruction failing so many children but those who learn to read more easily are missing out on learning features of language that would enhance learning across academic areas. @CCMEC & @CdnPrincipals my Ladder of Reading shows what's needed.
Kilpatrick’s 1 minute drills are in hallway folder pockets of an Oswego school. We’re using hallway wait times as teachable moments. All educators are learning about Phonological Awareness not just the students...has focusing power too- students love it. @OCLI_TRL @reading_league
This is exactly what needs to happen. My daughter is still trying to guess the word from context. Even if it is 1 teacher at a time! Decoding Before Context: The Four Processing vs. Three Cueing Systems t.e2ma.net/webview/959dgb…
