Reading Doctor

After 5 years of development, I'm very excited to introduce our NEW program 🌟ReadingDoctor® Online🌟, an evidence-based (see tinyurl.com/3vcsera5) tool for helping kids learn to read. More info: tinyurl.com/bddtdep4. FREE Trial: readingdoctor.com.au/sign-up

If you are interested in the science of learning, this course is sure to be fantastic. Congratulations @DrLSHammond and @EdithCowanUni!!

Great to see this revised and more accurate definition of decoding in the new @VicGovDE classroom materials. Well done to the team on their responsiveness on this.

Help kids learn to read with readingdoctor.com.au/what-is-readin… and our free decodable readers, including 'A Yak is in the Jet'! readingdoctor.com.au/decodable-read…

Please help @latrobe Masters by Research student @lifeoflottie to gain a good understanding of Australian teachers' views & experiences of teaching students with an ID to read. redcap.latrobe.edu.au/redcap/surveys…. Please also share in your networks. Thank you from Charlotte & supervisors 🌻

Yes! Amazing work, @SarahAsome!!

Not to be missed! Looking forward to presenting. See you in Toowoomba :)

Looking forward to another fantastic SBP event! Don’t miss this if you’re a teacher, SLP or anyone involved in education. Lots of great speakers. I’ll be talking about why knowledge of the phonological structure of language is essential when teaching phonics. See you there!…

Powerhouse Pam! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Absolutely brilliant and so well-deserved, @PamelaSnow2. Huge congratulations to you, @tserry2504 and all at @latrobe #SOLARLab.

It's always a privilege to host guest contributions on #TheSnowReport. This one is titled "A letter to my son" & was written by @lovethatsmile. One for policy makers & school leaders who have resisted engagement about rigour in reading instruction👇 pamelasnow.blogspot.com/2024/09/guest-…

Thanks Jennifer. Your robust research has been instrumental. Explicit instruction and systematic phonics are proven as most effective ways to teach children to read and we need to do what’s best for children - regardless of postcode, languages spoken at home or neurodiversity.

All schools should take the Reading Pledge, it’s an evidence-based framework for schools to dramatically reduce the number of children who finish primary school unable to read proficiently and support struggling readers in secondary school fivefromfive.com.au/reading-pledge… @LD_Australia

Evidence-based teaching, explicit instruction, phonics…turning around decades of poor literacy & numeracy. Not ‘old fashioned’ but a result of applying current findings from the science of learning! @SharingBestPrac⁩ Amazing work ⁦@StevenCapp⁩ afr.com/politics/feder…

Always something to learn from @PamelaSnow2 as she chats to @learnwithmrlee about evidence-based reading instruction & why changing teacher practice can be so challenging. learnwithlee.net/kft-pamelasnow/

Victorian schools are about to follow @edu_sagov South Australia's lead in teaching kids to read using phonics...but what exactly is phonics, and why should we use it to teach kids to read? This article by @annecastles, @SaskiaKohnen and professor Rauno Parilla provides a very…
