Massachusetts is poised to shake up literacy instruction — and some educators don’t like it hechingerreport.org/massachusetts-…
"The #ScienceofReading Masterclass... builds local capacity... in GrK–3. Based on decades of reading research, this initiative provides professional learning + coaching aligned to the most effective methods of teaching literacy." - @EducateCT @CharleneRTedu @hartfordcourant

Most CT school districts finally adopting 'Right-to-Read.' Five are still holding out trib.al/6paq0Ps
