Dr. Sam Bommarito @DoctorSam7

@KJWinEducation Also, consider this well-researched piece indicating that the views of the extreme phonics folks don't square the views of Jean Chall, the researcher who championed the use of phonics during the last reading wars. https://nancyebailey.com/2023/03/26/the-science-of-reading-and-the-rejection-of-picture-books/?fbclid=IwAR3K0fz-cWKbAh-mitL347hMrWGEjC0Gtd_PIxegTc0RiuzPoXxXSdoW7Cg

Remember the days when Arne Duncan insisted that having different ‘goal posts’ in every state was preventing us from improving public schools in America? Good times.

I wish I could say we’ve evolved since 2015, when Duncan stepped down. https://teacherinastrangeland.blog/2023/03/25/the-absolute-folly-of-standardization/

Science of Reading camp never discusses the importance of picture books. How much time do children get to explore them? How often are they read to for enjoyment? This is worrisome. https://nancyebailey.com/2023/03/26/the-science-of-reading-and-the-rejection-of-picture-books/
