It's very hard for me to overstate how important this information is to reimagine our reading instruction for students in grades that take federally mandated standardized tests- and how disruptive it is to our current systems. Be sure to read the comments. #SOR
Should we grade students on the individual reading standards?

2/2 From Ep. 1: "Another reason Ts focus so much on comprehension skills is that they feel a need to teach those reading standards directly. And that doesn't work." Content-generic planning and observation procedures can potentially reinforce this ineffective teaching practice.

In. 2. years. Thank you @MSSD_Director for providing more evidence that it can be done.
The @Aimsweb data is from a cohort in 2nd grade and now the 4th grade. Two years of Sounds First foundational literacy in combination with @WitWisdomELA is making a difference. More students are advanced and fewer students are at risk. #MilanAwesome
