Here is a transcript of the podcast by Anna Stokke.
She asks many relevant questions and since she is not an ‘expert’ in reading and not selling a reading programme I believe she will read my comments with an open mind.
This podcast is with Dr. Matthew Burns whom she claims is a renowned researcher in the science of reading world.
Here are some extracts and my comments/ questions:
Here is a response from Jani Wright. As expected there is no reply from Emily Hanford, the so-called literacy expert.
Jani Wright @thewrightjungle
Poor Tier I curriculum, poor MTSS, F&P fans at the DO, lack of training for teachers, laws that allow each district to operate with local control, and a state DOE that hasn't prioritized reading using evidence-based practices. No accountability.
These are all too general.
i. What exactly is poor tier 1 curriculum?
ii. Why has nothing been done since 1972 (the year since when data is available)?
iii. Why has the reading proficiency level remained the same since 1972?
