    If you haven’t downloaded Ep. 1 of the new #KnowledgeMatters podcast, grab a ☕️ & your 🎧 to listen to @natwexler & some brave educators! Right off the bat, Laura Salazar captures how so many of us felt when we first heard about the #knowledgegap: “Why didn’t I know this when I was as classroom teacher? Why?”

    A Swedish #ChronicKidneyDisease survey showed two-thirds of responders were disappointed by the information and level of support provided by their doctors. Address at-risk patients’ concerns and keep them informed to help combat their #KnowledgeGap.

    Dear @EdWriters, You would massively impact literacy in America by covering this issue. Please pretty please? @Stephen_Sawchuk @LianaLoewus @s_e_schwartz @alexanderrusso @nicholedobo @matt_barnum @DanaGoldstein @lesliebrody @EricaLG @philissa @tonywan @elizwgreen @bigeastgirl

    @EdWriters @CurriculumMatrs @educationweek @achievethecore @ReadingShanahan @MJLiben @CareySSwanson This piece by @SarahDSparks, highlighting the lack of an evidence base for leveled reading group work (which is pervasive), provides a fab entry point. I must've tweeted it 1,000 times. Cheers to Sarah for the piece! Addl. stories needed. (3/thread)

It will create new Aha! moments around reading instruction and IMHO it'll help address the problematic recent trends. @kschwart's piece on content knowlegde...

Thanks partly to @natwexler's #KnowledgeGap, there's attention to that issue. No one's writing about leveled reading group shortcoming (since @s_e_schwartz). It's the Crickets Category for coverage... of something in 75%+ of K–5 ELA classrooms.

    Kids suffer when comprehension is reduced to "skills," but that was happening BEFORE testing & Common Core. In places where educators have seen the actual intent behind Common Core, there's been a shift to building knowledge. More in my book The #KnowledgeGap, due out 8/6.

    How kids suffer when we teach reading comprehension & critical thinking, and ignore content acquisition. Kids need to learn stuff to stimulate curiosity & intrinsic motivation. ⁦@DTWillingham⁩ said this for years. Common Core & testing are to blame.

    Delighted to speak with @EWAEmily for EWA Radio on how education writers can cover The #KnowledgeGap--the focus on reading comprehension "skills" over content, which has devastating consequences for so many kids. @alexanderrusso Listen here:

    Poor reading comprehension isn’t an issue of skills (inferencing) it’s gaps in knowledge. Content rich nonfiction texts (science/social studies) supported by teacher-led discussions, starting in kinder, will improve reading comp. 🍎#SoR #scienceofreading @natwexler #knowledgegap

    Question from a friend reading @natwexler’s #KnowledgeGap: Are any states building assessments around topics in science/social studies standards, to get a better read of reading comprehension? I know abt this @La_Believes work in LA, via @rpondiscio: 1/

    Curriculum Night at a Teacher’s College Model School. Word Attack strategies for a second grade classroom. Where many of the kids are beyond picture books (mine is). So, about strategy 1... I felt badly for the teacher who presented. (1/few) #tcrwp #ilachat

    I asked if they are talking about the importance of content knowledge to reading comprehension. Per @natwexler's book and all the research. She looked confused & told me about the science and social studies programs. I redirected, asking if their PLC...
