The Classroom Lie Series: Learning Styles If you, like me, attended a traditional education school prior to starting your career in education, you probably spent at least a little time learning about the concept of learning styles. You might recognize the terms visual, auditory, linguistic, or kinesthetic. You may also have been asked to design lessons with different learning styles embedded. If you were like me, you may have even had a poster of the different learning styles in your classroom.

Nearly 90% of teachers believe in learning styles. The research says otherwise. Time to close the gap. 🧠 #ScienceOfReading #EdResearch #CognitiveScience #CogSci #TeacherPD #TheClassroomLie

Four-Part Processing Model for Word Recognition - Landmark Outreach Explore the Four-Part Processing Model of reading to understand how phonological and orthographic processing support literacy. Essential reading models and instructional strategies that help teachers enhance reading comprehension and development in students

Reading is a complex neural "handshake." 🤝 The Four-Part Processing Model explains how our brains coordinate sounds, letters, and meaning to recognize words.

Fluency Interventions at the Text and Passage Levels - Landmark Outreach Explore effective text-level fluency interventions to support reading development. Learn how strategies like chunking, modeling, repeated reading, and assisted reading help build accuracy, expression, and comprehension in struggling readers.

The final bridge to comprehension? Passage-level fluency. By focusing on phrasing and expression, we help students move from "sounding out" to "making meaning."

From Early Grade Initiatives to Measurable Results K-12: The Next Era of State Literacy Reform Over the past several years, literacy has become one of the most significant areas of education policy reform in the United States. Beginning around 2022, many states…

Many states have passed early literacy #ScienceOfReading laws.

The next phase: implementation & evaluation across K–12. States are now building out systems that connect policy, professional learning, & progress monitoring to improve outcomes in all grades.

Can't get over the fact that my state bought in so hard to the junk idea that kids just magically learn to read if you give them a beanbag chair and cozy book.

The scales have fallen from the teachers' eyes and it's like we're learning how to educate from the ground up. #ScienceofReading #edusky

Assessing Oral Reading Fluency - Landmark Outreach Learn how to assess reading fluency through rate, accuracy, and prosody. Explore effective tools like oral reading fluency (ORF) tasks and Rasinski’s Multidimensional Fluency Scale, and discover why comprehension must be measured alongside fluency.

Is it a decoding issue or a phrasing issue? Assessing Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) helps us pinpoint the "why" behind disfluent reading so we can intervene effectively.

How Spelling Supports Reading and Writing - Landmark Outreach Discover the role of spelling in reading and writing development. Explore how spelling supports literacy, serves as a diagnostic tool for reading challenges, and enhances fluency, especially for students with dyslexia

Spelling is the "invisible" support for reading success. When students learn to encode (spell), they are actually strengthening the same pathways used to decode (read).

What is Decoding? - Landmark Outreach Explore the components of word recognition—phonemic awareness, phonics, and decoding. Learn how these elements combine in skilled reading, with explicit strategies for teaching and addressing decoding difficulties in students, especially those with learning differences.

Decoding is the foundation of the reading house. 🏠 Without the ability to translate print to speech, comprehension can't happen.

Check out our strategy post on the mechanics of decoding: https://ow.ly/HiZj50YpOu5

Open book on a table with a blurred background. Overlaid text reads: "Literacy allows people with disabilities to have more control over their interdependence." -Dr. Karen Erickson.

TONIGHT we will be diving into one of the most important conversations in literacy education.

And you do not want to miss it.

Literacy is not just academic. It is access. It is agency. It is belonging.

Fluency Interventions at the Word, Phrase, and Sentence Levels - Landmark Outreach Discover targeted fluency interventions at the word and phrase level to support struggling readers. Learn how strategies like rapid word recognition, rime patterns, and phrase chunking build automaticity, prosody, and overall reading fluency.

Fluency interventions work best when they aren't just "reading more." Try a hierarchical approach: Start at the word level, move to phrases, then sentences. Build that automaticity before moving to paragraphs!

From Early Grade Initiatives to Measurable Results K-12: The Next Era of State Literacy Reform States are moving toward systemic implementation and measurable literacy outcomes for all students, including upper elementary, middle, and high school.

The next phase of the literacy movement is here. States are moving beyond policy adoption toward statewide implementation systems that support evidence-based instruction, data-driven improvement, and #literacy success for students in all grades.

What is Oral Reading Fluency? In addition to rate and accuracy, tone and expression are fundamental to oral reading fluency.

If decoding isn't automatic, comprehension suffers. 📖 Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) is the bridge that lets students focus on meaning.

Signed, Sealed, Undelivered Your state probably passed a science of reading law. Here’s why your child’s classroom may never feel it.

Over 40 states have passed science of reading legislation. So why are so many kids still being taught w/methods the research abandoned decades ago? Laws change. Classrooms don’t. Here’s why. 🧵

. The key take-home is not every child needs phonics but to get average scores up the broad middle does a LOT Better with Explicit phonics instruction and LOTS Of it early on. This isn't a Silver Bullet but building those foundational skills is pivotal.
