IN THE NEWS
In case you missed it, An EdSource Special Report, â€śA Movement Rises to Change the Teaching of Reading: Low Test Scores Fuel Demands for Change” by Karen D’Souza, offers hope that we moving beyond the reading wars. A quote from Margaret Goldberg, a literacy coach at Nystrom Elementary in West Contra Costa, sums up the key points: “We can seize this opportunity to get really effective instruction in place…if we can allow teachers to have access to the information they need about how the human brain develops, how learning is best accelerated by explicit teaching, then teachers can be responsive to the tactic that will get the most kids, the furthers, the fastest.” The report also provides a useful glossary of terms such as phonics, science of reading, and structured literacy.
