pipelines. But somehow you can get a HQIM sticker (βHigh Quality Instructionsl Materialsβ and still sleep at night, even if your effect size on real people is 0.2. And my heart hurts mostly for kids, but also for the people in education who bought what was being sold, and now theyβre in so deepβ¦
Iβm not talking about beating a score on a test, although if youβre using CBM tools validated to predict risk itβs smart to pay attention to that; Iβm talking about a difference for kids that results in opportunities to engage in advanced coursework, choice upon graduation, breaking school 2 prison
With Iowaβs new math law, do you need something that is evidence-based, moves student outcomes, and fits into your already existing MTSS system? carei.umn.edu/get-ahead-ma...

This group is for you if:
** You are asked to provide PD in your setting on SoR
** People come to you with their questions about SOR
** You are responsible for making decisions on SoR topics that you want to learn more about
Not sure if this is for you? Join us and let's figure it out together.
π Dr. Stollar: RSA members! I want to provide a higher lvl of support for those of you who are being asked to lead the implementation of evidence-based practices in your settings.
I'm thinking of it as sort of a master mind group - people coming together for deep learning and customized support.

Yesterday Feb 5 was World Read Aloud day! The Reading Science Academy has many excellent resources, including a presentation from Dr. Moddy McKeown, with links to Text Talk lessons. Give yourself the gift of a reading community and the best evidence to improve student outcomes. Check out RSA today.
This image shows a recent headline from EdWeek supporting UFLI instruction. Dr. Stephanie Stollar founder of Reading Science Academy notes there are some questions about the measure used for βdramatic results β and while research for UFLI is supporting positive outcomes, Dr Stollar has reached out to the papers author, Dr. Matt Burns for clarification.
Reading Science Academy provides more than headlines. Connect with the real live researchers doing the work in a community of mutual support. Click the image to read more.

Big news- Two of the greatest minds in data, MTSS, and literacy are publishing a guide for leaders. These two would hate to be called great minds, but itβs true. Their humble curiosity to bring the best practices to kids & educators is inspiring. Practical research to practice.
Everybody likes to quote βeasy like Sunday morningβ but this song is best burn/therapy Iβve ever had. Turn it up.
Tim Walz just capped prescription copays for Minnesotans at $25. In case Donold wants suggestions for his βconcepts of a plan.β

Happy 2025! Itβs time to power-up Science of Reading & MTSS. So proud to have some of my favorite colleagues joining the conversation on BlueSky @rondalamphier.bsky.social @ajosaidso.bsky.social
Yay! I have you on my starter pack now.
Important correction to my SoR starter pack- thank you @jodidevries.bsky.social . Comment to be added β€οΈ

Fascinating work about the potential global economic impact of the #scienceofreading - "Approximately 57% of children in low- and middle-income countries are unable to read with a basic level of comprehension by age 10"
