phonemic awareness (being able to hear the sounds in words), phonics (being able to match those sounds to letters), vocabulary (knowing these words), fluency (where students are able to read accurately and quickly), and comprehension (where we have to find meaning which is the goal of reading)

If you teach reading you have probably heard of the “Reading Wars”. And if you haven’t, then perhaps you don’t even need to read any further. For those that have, you might feel confused. I,…

I have a PhD in psychology, and I studied reading for my dissertation. I had been a social studies teacher previously (in high school). I didn't know anything about the "reading wars" until I was neck-deep in my research. I was--and am still--shocked by all of this. Within scientific circles--psychology, cognitive science, etc.--this is settled science. Early readers have to be taught how to map sound information onto letters. This isn't a "debate" in the scientific community... This is so sad!

Our teacher prep programs need to implement the Science of Reading and prepare them to teach students to read.
We are trying to work with our local university. In our school district we are also training our teachers and coaches in LETRS. This training has impacted best practices in our classrooms. Literacy coaches also work with teachers on implementing the Science of Reading. We are doing our best using our current core curriculum (Wonders).

The importance of phonemic awareness as the bedrock foundations of learning language is indeed very important. I have seen and experienced this with lower level ESL and adult learners. I also see similarities with the curriculum this film recommended and parts of the Barton Dyslexia System. I very strongly recommend the use of this system one-on-one with child and adult students who have or are likely to have dyslexia.
Additionally, an assessment app called Neurolearning can assist with knowing if someone is likely to have Dyslexia (and may need interventions and/or an official diagnoses.

Early Literacy is so important. Every school wants to look at data.... so why aren't we making sure the curriculum we have supports what the data has shown is the best way to teach reading?

At not fault of their own, teachers are misinformed about how to effectively teach reading.  I, myself, didn't learn about effective reading instruction until I went for my masters/reading specialist cert. Also, I also love how the families are so involved!! The video was eye-opening.

Look into UFLI.  Before I left my post as an Elementary principal, I shared UFLI with our K-2 educators.  We were implementing this curriculum and seeing positive results in reading and writing.  I hope they continue after my absence. :)

My county of ed is currently offering training on the science of reading. UFLI has a phonics program for cheap, $50.00 for the book to teach K-2. The online components are all free! Love it!

I missed the first part.
I love  the early language classes for parents to learn what they can do.
I didn’t know districts were using just caukins to teach literacy. I always thought it was just a piece of instruction. I learned as a child through open court, and of course sesame street. Now seasame street is not on public tv but through hbo! That is soooooo wrong.

What resonated with me was the need to educate our teachers in the Science of Reading. We need to be more explicit in our instruction. I have been LETRS trained, and I am now a LETRS facilitator. Our teachers have shared it is the best training they have ever had. We are seeing an impact in our reading scores, which are improving.

I'm currently in year two of LETRS training.  I have learned so much about how to teach reading better.  All teachers could really benefit from this training.

Get all of our Teachers LETRS trained.  We added phonics and phonemic instruction.  We are now using Reading Horizons and Heggerty.  We just adopted Wit and Wisdom for our main reading curriculum on top of phonics and phonemic awareness.
