Introductory Trainings- our schools are in literacy cadre so I've attended a few trainings. Understand the basics.

Science of Reading isn't a "thing." It is teaching in a way and using resources that align with what brain research has shown about how humans learn and process language. Listening and speaking are "wired" in our systems. Reading and writing are not.

It is based on scientifically-based research about reading and issues related to reading and writing.

Language Acquisition takes TIME. MLLs need repetition in a safe environment.

More concrete examples and actions for that "yes, and."

It is important to make connections between L1 and L2 whenever possible.

Where do we need to add to ensure Science of Second Language Acquisition and SOR will align or differ to ensure success for our EL students?

Scaffolds, support need to recognize that L2 is learned by our EL students through lens of L1.

Getting the information out there to coaches, interventionists, etc on the differences needed for ENL students.

As an EL teacher, this gives me valuable information to share with our literacy team. I feel like our EL students are square pegs being forced into round holes.

The Missing Link in Reading Comprehension

This reminds me of Schema Theory. We need to build schemata through comprehensible input and building background to create good readers (vital for all, but we are doing this in a second language for ELs).
