Time for a cover reveal! I am so in love the cover of my upcoming book, Reading Beyond the Basics, coming this fall from @solutiontree.bsky.social (Pre-order links below). The design team really captured something that I love about teaching reading - the magic. #ScienceOfReading #SOR

I read this several years ago, but it still has a lot of power to explain Trump and Trumpism. Highly recommend.

Pretty sad to miss Spokane's combo #NoKings + Pride event, but for a good reason- nephew is graduating from college. Anyway, here is a song he made - for all you outlaws and rebels out there in the streets today. youtu.be/RZJzZpIM0to?...

Just met this man at the No Kings protest in Philly: Dan O’Neill. Dan is an evangelical Christian, but says recently left a church bc its members were so uncritically supportive of Trump. He says: “I have read the Bible recently, and everything I read in there, (Trump) is doing the opposite of.”

Last year I wrote about how you can teach students how to find the "main idea" using the gist/paragraph shrinking routine. Research says it's tough for kids to do, that reading programs don't offer enough practice, and that standardized tests ♥️ to ask about it.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

When undercover trafficking investigators, FBI agents, State Dept. officials, and IRS agents are taken from their real work to juice arrests of undocumented people at work and school, all of us are less safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

Reporters need to ask PressSec: if ICE does not ID, how do people know they are not being kidnapped? We know CITIZENS have been detained; how do Americans trust they won't be next? How do we know that ICE is focusing on the most dangerous, rather than easiest to find (people in legal processes)?

One of our students was planning to start Job Corps soon; he's been excitedly talking about it for months. This was a terrific option for this young man. Now...more American dreams crushed.

Been thinking about the difference between the science of reading and "pop SOR," so going to re-up this January post about some worrying trends in literacy instruction, and some thoughts on how to adjust course. tinyurl.com/54j479d3

So important that those of us who advocate for the “science of reading” make clear that we mean so much more than phonics!

Saw these old "friends" in a classroom today. Y'all, Eagle Eye and Skippy Frog need to retire and let their grandkid Blending Bluebird inherit the family business.

A high school freshman takes transphobic Maine politicians to task for bullying the trans girl who beat her in a race. Kudos to you, Anelise Feldman.
