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/

@SecCardona @usedgov Wondering if every public school in the U.S. now offers quality art and music classes, & students have access to a rich arts program? Are the arts returning under the Biden administration? They've been missing in poor schools for awhile, since NCLB.

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
