Thank you so much for doing this deep analysis Karen! The national

coverage has been anemic so you’re picking up the slack. When everything is failing, focusing on the bright spots is strategic.

By the way, what I’ve seen in research and practice work the best is integrating PD directly with curriculum. And we should build pedagogical content knowledge, such as how to teach blending - not mostly content knowledge, such as whether “fox” is 3 or 4 phonemes.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with our community, Karen! This is fascinating! As an elementary teacher, I was trained in Balanced Literacy. After 10 years of teaching, I stayed home with my son and now sub. Wow! The landscape has changed. Love to read about what the latest research shows and yay for progress!
