Literacy in Color: A Science of Reading Aligned Podcast for Educators

64. My SOR Betrayal List (and the Podcast's 1st Birthday!)


Listen Later

Literacy in Color is officially ONE year old!

I’d like to start this anniversary episode from a place of gratitude with a huge THANK YOU to my Top 10 Guest Episodes of the Year: Dr. Stephanie Stollar, Justin Browning, Lindsay Kemeny, Sarah Paul, Fiona Hamilton with Rebecca Loveless, Dr. David Kilpatrick, Dr. Molly Ness, Dr. Treasa Bowe, Christina Winter, and Jake Daggett.

To celebrate this milestone, I’m joining in on the “Betrayal Trend” and sharing my Science of Reading Betrayal List: 12 practices or ideas that, in my view, hold us back from truly moving literacy forward. 

Of course, I’ll unpack each one with context (and compassion).

Here’s a sneak peek at what made my betrayal list:

  • Rebalancing Balanced Literacy
  • Memorizing Lists of “Sight Words”
  • Using Predictable Texts for Beginning Readers
  • Skipping Handwriting Instruction
  • Too Much Teacher Talk
  • Saying Morphology is just “Teaching Affixes”
  • Forgetting About Language
  • Telling a Student with Dyslexia to “Try Harder”
  • Claiming Everything We Do Has to Be “Research-Based”
  • Letting One Study Make Us Pivot Everything
  • Fighting within Science of Reading Circles
  • Calling the Science of Reading a Pendulum Swing

Looking forward to what’s next for Literacy in Color!
