The #ScienceOfReading is not something you can go out &purchase. It does not come in a neat little box in the mail. It cannot be learned overnight by reading 1 book. It is a passionate journey that you embark on, sometimes alone or sometimes, if you’re lucky, with a friend.🧵
“Orthographic mapping creates connections between graphemes and phonemes to secure spellings bonded to pronunciation of words in memory. However, meanings must also become bonded to spelling in memory.” ~Linnea Ehri SORticle #11: What Teachers Need to Know and Do to Teach…
When one book just isn’t enough… I’ve learned so much about the #ScienceOfLearning this past year thanks to these three incredible books: 📘Why Don’t Students Like School, by @DTWillingham 📘Harnessing the Science of Learning, by @NathanielRSwain 📘How Learning Happens, by…

“SRSD is an evidence-based approach to writing instruction that includes not only teaching writing strategies but also self-regulation strategies…scaffolds are faded as students begin to move toward independence.” @LindsayKemeny I absolutely love how Lindsay Kemeny’s new book,…
Wow! I am so inspired after watching the coaching and teaching at my daughter’s basketball camp this week! Coach Scott had the attention of over 120 kids between 13-16 years old. But how?!? Here is what I noticed about his teaching (and whether it’s teaching kids about…
Dosage Matters:
“Work is expanding beyond the time available with no real evidence that the additional hours are moving the needle on student achievement, which has largely remained stagnant since the 1970s.” (Altinok et al., 2018 as cited in Hattie et al., 2024) As a teacher myself, I see this…
I think I have a problem- a book addiction. 🤦♀️📕📙📗📘 I’m doing a little spring cleaning today and cannot believe the number of books on literacy I have accumulated over the last 6 years since beginning my #SOR learning journey…. Each book builds on my knowledge of the last,…
“Educators say Canada's teacher shortage is at a crisis level. As CBC’s Deana Sumanac-Johnson explains, it’s less about attracting new teachers to the profession and more about retaining the ones who are already working.” @deanasumanac As a teacher with over 20 years of…
"Let’s go into 2025 thinking carefully about which high-yield strategies we need teachers to focus on, and which we can do without."

The best educators are regularly having this conversation. How can schools de-implement the things that aren’t moving the needle on student achievement? The school day is short and time is precious. And schools have a way of taking on “one more thing” every year without…

This text made my day: a “Kim Special”😁 There is no better feeling than seeing some of my work being used in Teacher Training Programs! This student, at Queen’s University’s Faculty of Education, took a screenshot of an article I wrote for @LDatSchool and, unbeknownst to me,…
Here is that magic word once again: TRUST. Do teachers still trust that new initiatives, policies and information given to them will improve student learning and behaviour outcomes? Or are they just another knee-jerk reaction built on hope rather than evidence?? “When the…

“…how did Aleysha become a college student who can’t read or write? The same way she got through high school, she says: By relying on apps that translate text to speech and speech to text.” @CNN How is this surprising?? 🤦♀️ If districts are providing students with technology…
I can’t wait to share everything I’ve learned about Implementation science (and the power of #Deimplementation, too!) in this fantastic new series this fall!! @iamnoadaniel @TheMentoree eventbrite.ca/o/the-mentoree…
