The Truth About Reading: The Eyes and Brain at Work

[@DeborahBlake-Iacchini]

After seven years in grade one and 30 years in Tier III Reading Services in the public schools, it is disheartening what the Science of Reading has done to erase the gains of early literacy in the public schools. Thank you so much for reaffirming the incredible depth of knowledge that coincides with the entire reading process and not just the synthetic phonics in isolation. Miscue analysis continues to be so meaningful in the development and success of early readers, especially as Reading Specialists work to help propel students to grade level standards. It is incomprehensible why individuals without the understanding presented here can be in charge of making life-long decisions for our young readers. Thank you for this well-needed presentation that all teachers should see and understand before calling older reading specialists "out-dated."

Thank you so much everyone. I found this fasinating and reaffirming.

gr8 presentations thank you, due to the bias in the media we don't see this level of depth and analysis.

Great presentation. However, it is way beyond the SOR proponents' ZPD. :)
