It’s no easy fix when big kids struggle to read, and prevention is key. But it’s never too late to provide solid instruction. What are some obstacles and how might they be overcome? I hope to see you at #PlainTalkNOLA, brought to you by the great folks at The Center for Literacy & Learning!

Does your middle or high school have general education students who struggle with word reading and spelling? What percent of them need this kind of help? How are they serviced? Is it working?

I’ve been collecting examples of how increased awareness of SOR has led to surface/incomplete understandings that get translated into sub-optimal (though well-intended) instructional practice. Do you have any examples to share?

Teachers who are afforded the opportunity to build their knowledge and skills in a supportive environment see student reading achievement climb and they feel better about their teaching.

It’s a good start if you recognize the Scarborough Rope when you see it. But can you sketch it from memory on a scrap of paper? Do you regularly use it to help you make decisions about instruction, materials, assessment, and data analysis?

Now that “the science of reading” and evidence-aligned instruction are (finally) a big part of the conversation in schools, how are decision-makers choosing professional learning providers to make sure educators receive correct and thorough information?

Now that your beginning of year universal screening data (preferably a CBM suite w/ a normed ORF measure) is collected, you can tell what % of students are at/above benchmark. If it is less than 80%, what’s the plan for tightening up core instruction so fewer kids need intervention services?

Reminder: RTI is not a service. Kids don’t “test into RTI” & then “get RTI” from an “RTI teacher.” If we are using the term this way, we missed the boat. RTI is an overarching approach to instruction & the most important “RTI tchr” is the gen ed tchr delivering core instruction.
