2/2 The beauty of the comically misnamed "Science of Reading" movement, though, is that its faith in systematic phonics instruction is impervious to contrary evidence. When it fails, that just proves those kids (a) have a learning disability, and (b) need even more phonics.

1/2 Early in her career, @regieroutman was required to teach reading via phonics drills and worksheets - "and lots of kids were failing to learn to read successfully." But "there was nothing wrong with their ability to learn; the problem was how we were teaching them."

Students work harder for teachers they like and respect. Relationships before rigor.

Big study: curiosity is an important predictor of academic achievement across the board but particularly for low-income kids: is.gd/zLBk8u. Painfully ironic given the curiosity-killing practices (scripted direct instruction, tight control, etc) that such kids often get
