In this episode of Glean Education's "Research to Practice" podcast, Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D. sits down with Jessica Hamman to talk reading fluency and debunk myths related to this important skill. Some takeaways for teachers can be seen below... 📚 Speed Isn't Everything: Reading faster doesn't necessarily mean better comprehension. 📚 Work Toward the Sweet Spot: The optimal reading rate for comprehension lies between the 50th and 75th percentile on Hasbrouck-Tindal ORF norms 📚Notice Red flags: Students reading more than 10 words below the 50th percentile may be struggling. 📚Diagnostic Approach: When fluency issues are identified, investigate underlying factors that might be inhibiting progress like lack of phonics skill mastery.

Imagine a teacher on your staff comes to you with concerns about a student in their class. They explain the student's letters are not uniform, their spelling is inaccurate, and written tasks are laborious for them. Would you recognize these as signs of dysgraphia? If you feel uncertain about what dysgraphia is, you’re not alone. Michael McCloskey and Brenda Rapp, researchers at Johns Hopkins University, explain that dysgraphia is “common and [has] significant consequences for those who suffer from them, yet these deficits have received relatively little attention from researchers.” Our blog outlines what dysgraphia is, seven (7) red flags to look for, and appropriate accommodations to support students. If teachers suspect a student is struggling with dysgraphia, encourage them to refer to your school’s child study team for evaluation. #edleaders #superintendents #principals #structuredliteracy #teachertraining #literacy #dysgraphia #leadership

Is handwriting instruction part of your district's literacy curriculum? In this episode of Research to Practice, we explore the connection between handwriting and reading fluency with Dr. Kit Mohr, professor of language and literacy at Utah State University's School of Teacher Education and Leadership. Her research shows the positive impact of handwriting instruction on boosting student literacy skills.

Congratulations to our CEO Jessica Hamman!

When we partner with districts, we're able to move the needle on literacy progress across multiple schools. In our work with Calcasieu Parish, we provide training and coaching support for their robust literacy coaching staff who support elementary through high school teachers. Having district-level support as part of this initiative continues to have positive impacts on coaching practices and student literacy outcomes. Peruse the full Calcasieu Parish case study here. #edleaders #superintendents #structuredliteracy #literacycoaching #CLSD #educationalleadership #educationalconsultant #edchat

Implementing a unified Structured Literacy approach is an investment in your district's success. Research consistently shows that Structured Literacy improves reading outcomes for ALL students, creating an equitable learning environment with long-term, positive impact. With district leader support, educators can have the tools needed to effectively and confidently apply science-based literacy instruction in the classroom.

What makes a successful teacher coaching initiative? According to researcher and educator, Dr. Jennfier White, leadership buy-in and communication are crucial components of successful coaching work. For example, setting clear guidelines, creating time for coaching work, and establishing school support systems can lead to long-term literacy improvements for both educators and students.
