As we move out of January’s resolutions that we may or may not have kept, we move into February with wise words from Marc Parent, “If January is the month of change, February is the month of lasting change. January is for dreamers. February is for doers.” There is certainly a lot of “doing” at Everyone Reading right now!

• We have an exciting new professional development partnership with the MAIA Education Resource Center! Supporting Diverse Learners with Comorbidity: ADHD and Dyslexia, in Grades 6-8, will be held Monday, March 4th, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Zoom. The session is designed to equip educators with the knowledge and strategies to support students diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia effectively. Participants will leave this workshop with an understanding of how to address comorbidities and learn practical tools for creating inclusive and nurturing environments in middle school. It will be presented by Sharon Thomas, MAIA Founder and Director, Samantha Santiago-Gionet, MAIA Director of Executive Function Coaching and Tutoring, and Dr. Paul Yellin, MD. Dr. Yellin holds a medical degree and provides neuropsychological evaluations at the Yellin Center.

I hope everyone is staying cool, both physically and mentally! Now that the 4th has passed, many retailers, families, and educators are already looking towards August and September. My local Target has already put out their back-to-school supplies. A boy who looked about 7 years old saw the display and exclaimed – “OH, COME ON! ALREADY! IT JUST ENDED.” I echo his sentiment! And while I *may* have a countdown ticking away the days until pumpkin spice returns (54 days), the summer is still very much here, with humidity, aphids, and all.

For those looking for a way to fill their days,  I invite you to join our summer book club. We’ll be reading Black, Brilliant and Dyslexic edited by Marcia Brisett-Bailey – together over the next 8 weeks. You can join the conversation in our Facebook group here!

Since the summer and schedules are hectic, we will be doing this group asynchronously. Discussion prompts will be posted on Mondays, but feel free to add your own and engage with each other throughout the week and at your own pace as your progress through the book.

We also have an updated Facebook page I’d encourage you to follow for all things Everyone Reading!

Happy Reading, and stay cool.

Professional Development Opportunities

thinkSRSD “How to Teach Writing” – August Session

This course will enhance how you teach writing (and close reading) based on the latest advances in the science of writing. thinkSRSD equips students with the strategies and discrete skills (word and sentence level) needed to write independently and effectively. It demystifies what effective writing looks like and how to produce it with its comprehensive, easy-to-use system. The approach has been proven to work in studies that meet the most rigorous research quality and outcomes. You’ll learn to help your students write better at the word choice, sentence formation, and paragraph genre levels so they can use their voice to share their messages with the world and improve it.

The course costs $395 and consists of 3 online classes from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Aug 3, 10 & 18. You will have access to eLearning modules that you will complete over 6 hours between the course meeting dates. You will also receive a book with a step-by-step lesson plan. The registration deadline for the June course is Wednesday, July 26. This course is also eligible for CTLE credit. To learn more and to register, please click here.

ASPDP Course: Teaching Vocabulary All Day, Every Day

This workshop will address this simple view of reading by providing instructional strategies in three of the five pillars of reading: phonological awareness, phonics, and vocabulary because mastery of those pillars leads to proficiency in fluency and comprehension as well. It will concentrate on building a foundation of word recognition skills and enabling teachers and students to build a large and varied working vocabulary and strategies for acquiring new words. It will specifically address the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse students whose language comprehension may not match the demands of the school system. Those needs include activities that include and validate the students’ language and experience, as English is constantly being enriched by language and experiences that are not “standard.” Participants will embrace the idea of expanding vocabulary, not substituting one word for another. They will discuss and practice strategies for using students’ vocabulary to enhance their own.

Participants will learn a variety of quick and easy activities and drills to teach phonological awareness and phonics effectively and efficiently. They will also learn to teach vocabulary formally and informally, using morphology, syntax, and context clues, explicit instruction, and correct practice in targeted words, and by embedding vocabulary development into every activity during the school day.

Participants will also practice designing quick and effective assessments, which, instead of diagnosing students’ deficiencies, will reinforce skills taught and measure the impact of that instruction on students. To learn more and register, please click here.

Of course, we love donations. We love participation even more. Please join us at our conference and workshops. You will learn a lot, and we will make a little money.

The program for the 47^th Everyone Reading Conference on Dyslexia and Related Learning Disabilities will be done by next week. Wait till you see the speakers and panelists and exhibitors. I can’t believe that we will have so many experts in one place at one time.  Our focus, as always, will be on the types of instruction and intervention that make a difference in all students’ learning.

Our workshops and courses provide a “deeper dive” into foundational skills. Our keynote speaker, Anita Archer,  cites research indicating that kids who seem to be struggling at the comprehension level are often really struggling at the word level. They cannot read the words, and/or they do not know what they mean.  They need to build or rebuild the foundation of their reading skills.

Come as often as you can. We are in this endeavor together. We would like to get to know you better.

The 47^th Everyone Reading Conference on Dyslexia and Related Learning Disabilities will take place February 3 and 4, 2020 (a month earlier than usual), at the CUNY Graduate Center on Fifth Avenue at 34^th Street. Anita Archer and Nonie Lesaux will be our keynote speakers. Linnea Ehri will be our honoree. We will have 70+ sessions on such diverse topics as neuroscience and phonological awareness. Something for everyone! Catch the early bird rate and/or one of the many discounts. Payment may be made by credit card, check or purchase order. Please contact me if you would like to present, become a sponsor, take an exhibition table and/or place an ad in our conference brochure.

I always thought that the art of teaching was to make complex material simple enough for students to understand.

I recently flashed back to Ms. Oliva, my junior high school French teacher, who, without the use of technology, enabled us to confront our new  language. She did this by speaking very little English and having a test every Friday. She told us exactly what would be on the test: the exact vocabulary; the words and tenses to be conjugated; the passage to be dictated. We thought she was an idiot for doing so, but we hung onto her every word, did our French homework first and memorized the dictée down to the last circonflexe. We aced those Friday tests, the citywide test, and, using Ms. Oliva’s practice techniques, our high school tests and the  Regents exam.

I liked French so much that I majored in it and briefly thought I might want to be a French teacher. That notion lasted through my observation semester, when, every week, I would visit a different “good” school to see a different “good” teacher attempt to teach French. What I saw every week was a teacher explaining in English one or more of the rules of French grammar to a few students at the front of the class. The savvier students would ask questions to delay any actual engagement with the French language. The rest of the students were doing their math* homework. At the end of each class, a nearby homework doer would ask me why I would even think of becoming a French teacher.

At my old high school, the French teacher bemoaned her students’ lack of preparation, with one exception. Ms. Oliva’s former students seemed to know what they were doing.

We have all had a Ms. Oliva, a teacher who, by making instruction  comprehensible and predictable, was able to turn that scary mountain of French or calculus into a series of little molehills that we could leap over.  Why are we doing the reverse these days?

*Math in those days involved the manipulation of numbers to get the correct answer, not the writing of essays to justify the wrong ones. It was an easy subject to do discreetly in French class.

In the interest of basic instruction, we are again offering SPIRE and Sounds Sensible workshops in August. I suggest you sign up right away. They fill up immediately.

For a more intense plunge into the Orton-Gillingham approach, try Institute for Multi-Sensory Education in July or August or Max Scholar in June or August.

It is cruel and unusual to ask students to assign symbols to language they do not have. To that end, we are again offering Tell Me about It: Oral Language Development through Phonological Awareness, Visual Literacy and Storytelling, at the National Museum of the American Indian, and Teaching Vocabulary All Day Every Day at Everyone Reading in July.  Both have been approved by the NYCDOE for one P Credit towards a salary differential.

Don’t forget those rising fourth graders, born in 2010, who, despite four long years of schooling, still can’t read well.

For them we have  Catching Up and Getting Ahead

Catching Up and Getting Ahead will again take place at the  Museum of the City of New York, from July 8 through July 26, 2019, Monday through Friday, from 12:30 to 3:30 pm. There will be a pre-testing/grouping day on June 27^th.   Each afternoon combines 90 minutes of explicit small group tutoring in phonics and other foundational skills and 90 minutes of hands-on museum education activities explicitly related to New York City history and geography.  The premise of the program is that students will catch up in reading and get ahead in the fourth grade social studies curriculum for September.

Participants must be rising fourth graders, born in 2010, who are still struggling with basic reading skills.  CATCHING UP AND GETTING AHEAD IS FREE, BUT WE PROVIDE NO TRANSPORTATION OR REFRESHMENTS.  The instruction is intense and produces excellent results.  Good attendance is paramount.  Students who are late and/or absent will be dismissed from the program.

The first step is filling out the attached application and returning it to Laura Guerrero, Lguerrero@everyonereading.org. She will set up a brief screening appointment to see if your child will benefit from the program.

All Everyone Reading events are approved for
New York State Education Department CTLE
(Continuing Teacher and Leader Education) hours.

Except for Max Scholar, all registrations are done through our  website or the Registration button below. Information on Max Scholar is attached.

PS: Decoding Dyslexia, a national grassroots movement to raise awareness and provide support to parents, will have an open meeting to discuss effective ways of teaching reading and provide a list of resources.

The meeting will take place May 30, 2019 at 7:00 pm at the Sterling School, 134 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn (LICH Medical Arts Building)      RSVP to Mary Beth Crosby Carroll: marybethcc@aol.com

I had an interesting conversation with a teacher who grew up in the district where I worked. Since I thought I knew the answer, I asked her how she learned to read. She thought she just did it!

I reminded her that in our district, in every school except one, all kindergarteners learned phonological awareness and beginning phonics from the Open Court Gold Book. In first grade, they solidified their decoding and encoding with the Open Court Blue Book. By 9:00 am every day, except in one school, every child in grades K-2 was chanting the Open Court wall sound cards. With this memory jog, the teacher remembered not only those books but explicit penmanship and grammar instruction as well.

Not every child in our district became a good reader. We had to do lots of additional work with vocabulary and comprehension, but most kids could decode.

All the literacy experts seem to agree that an explicit dose of phonics is good for everyone. The “wired” will learn it faster. Others need more instruction and lots more correct practice.

Let’s not hold children to the standards of our imaginary selves. Let’s just do the job.

If you need help with that, or just a refresher, please take one of our workshops or courses. If you know rising fourth graders who were born in 2010 and are still struggling with reading, please send them to our summer tutoring program, Catching Up and Getting Ahead

Catching Up and Getting Ahead will again take place at the  Museum of the City of New York, from July 8 through July 26, 2019, Monday through Friday, from 12:30 to 3:30 pm. There will be a pre-testing/grouping day on June 27^th.   Each afternoon combines 90 minutes of small group tutoring in phonics and other foundational skills and 90 minutes of hands-on museum education activities related to New York City history and geography.  The premise of the program is that students will catch up in reading and get ahead in the fourth grade social studies curriculum for September.

The first step is filling out the attached application and returning it to Laura Guerrero, Lguerrero@everyonereading.org. She will set up a brief screening appointment to see if your child will benefit from the program.

If you would like to teach basic reading skills, we have many workshops you can attend.  Click below to view and register:

Why then do we expect students to do “deep reading” before they know how to read? There are reading programs that suggest students use context clues to “guess” at unknown words. That is like starting to climb a mountain from the top. You have to be a pretty good reader to do that. Otherwise you collapse in fear and confusion.

Common sense and the research of Sharon Vaughn confirm that the most reliable predictor in kindergarten for future reading proficiency is phonological awareness. The best predictor of good reading in grades 1-4 is the ability to read the words.

Fortunately, both these skills can be taught, and Everyone Reading can help you do that. The best thing about all our workshops is that they are self-contained. They are not Part 1 of anything. You will learn techniques and get materials that will enable you to start teaching those basic skills the very next day.

During July, we practice what we preach with our Catching Up and Getting Ahead program for rising fourth graders who are still struggling with reading.

Catching Up and Getting Ahead will again take place at the  Museum of the City of New York, from July 8 through July 26, 2019, Monday through Friday, from 12:30 to 3:30 pm. There will be a pre-testing/grouping day on June 27^th.   Each afternoon combines 90 minutes of small group tutoring in phonics and other foundational skills and 90 minutes of hands-on museum education activities related to New York City history and geography.  The premise of the program is that students will catch up in reading and get ahead in the fourth grade social studies curriculum for September.

Next week’s IMSE (Institute of Multi-Sensory Education) institute surely qualifies as a deep dive into the phonology of English.

After four long days of hands-on, interactive and personalized training in IMSE’s enhanced Orton-Gillingham method, participants will have an in-depth understanding of the structure and foundation of the English language, an awareness of how to assess and teach students with dyslexia as well as students on all three RtI tiers. Participants will have the skills and materials to start to evaluate and teach phonological skills, phonics/word recognition, spelling, writing, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. They will also have such a thorough grounding in the foundations of English literacy that they will be able to learn and implement any of the myriad commercial phonics programs.

Yes, Virginia, the English alphabet still has only 26 letters, to be matched with 44 phonemes in approximately 250 spelling combinations. If you want more complications, you will have to choose another language.
