@ehanford Maybe very little new research in reading research has come out since 80s that has fundementally shifted our understanding. Marketing documents from Amplify are not research. When you dig into citations, recycled, often just NRP. #ncte19 (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/2gKDNO)
Look how you frame the narraritive "teachers don't know this science" "" "teacher prep is bad" this is an agenda and not research and also not based in reality. Frankly I find it insulting #ncte19 (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/WkE1H)
@ehanford Folks love quantitative theoretical models. Looking at variance explained by different variables helps us understand reading. But to suggest Gough & Tunmer's model is superior leaves many question. So many better models with < error #ncte19 (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/A4S6D)
also think concept of "fight" & "wars" itself toxic. Reflects and reinforces a long history of exclusion, mysoginy, and racism in literacy research. Plus real war is real bad. Let's not equate people yelling at the Goodmans during Town Hall as war… quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/11/22/als…
Thx for Kilpatrick recommendation, I respect his work. I think you should also read folks like @davidekirkland and "Search Past Silence, you frame this as a "fight" between phonics and phonology...it isnt It's about people, other narratives #ncte18 (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/tQnUA)
Big issue is NRP, on which "science of reading" has as 1 leg of 2 leg stool (other brain scan research) specifically and explicitly omitted research we know also imporves reading. Motivation, writing, and much more. #ncte19 quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/11/22/thx… (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/TocRz)
And most teachers who won't fold under political pressure of "science of reading" aren't against explicit phonics instruction. Heck #CCSS has a foundational skills sections and many teacher prep programs take Foundations of Reading #ncte19 (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/1M06Qx)
implore anyone interested to go track down ttechnical reports of the NRP and read the foot notes. Decide for yourself if the inclusion and exclusion criteria need revisiting. But most importantly STOP treating it like an efficacy study #ncte19 Bad… quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/11/22/imp…
The NRP is not some random design study that put explicit phonics instruction up against miscue analysis, or compared different diagnostic assessments of fake word recognition up against MSV...franky I care for neither. but had nothign to do with NRP… quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/11/22/the…
I teach running records, listening to kids read great way to identify phonics then spelling help (though I am faster at recongizing phonics level by reading their writing)...the MSV stuff...might as well throw darts at wall. I skip it. #ncte19 (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/1brXvQ)
but I hold that true for most diagnostic assessments, by time they get to classroom level ecological factors have stripped almost all validity and reliability. Like when DRA2 scores work their way in SLOs and fall scoring stricter than spring #ncte19 (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/sikto)
@ehanford In the end I don't think it will matter. Foundational skills don't take much time. 7 minutes a day for phonological awareness and some explicit phonics intruction. One place technology will be better at doing than humans IMO. #ncte19 (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/nxLee)
@ehanford @karenvaites @LaurenTTutor718 I will leave with this. If SVR is such simple model how is it dialogical reading is one of the most replicable studies in #ece #literacies? All that talk about pictures and connections....#ncte19 (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/XoF0K)
@ehanford @karenvaites @LaurenTTutor718 If variable like motivation and family do not matter. Why is ist we find setting up text messaging in early childhood classrooms may improve literacy rates? Could it be two people can be right at the same through… quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/11/22/eha…
