    The One About…
    Sam Bommarito (Dr. Sam) Presents a Centrist’s View in the Reading Wars
    Article: “NC sees big increase in reading skills among K-3 students. Is the state back on track?”
    Keung Hui
    The News & Observer
    https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/education/article277956948.html
    Dr. Sam believes that reading improvements are based on faulty, “phonics-heavy” assessments and the Science of Reading is not a “settled science.”
    Dr. Sam Bommarito (@doctorsam7)
    Dr. Bommarito is retired from full-time teaching after a 51-year career in education. That career included teaching at almost every grade from K through graduate school. He taught reading courses to teachers at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. He’s made numerous presentations at ILA (formally IRA) conferences, including national conferences. In spring 2022,
    he was a featured speaker at the LitCon conference. Most of his career was spent working in Title 1 buildings as a reading specialist and/or staff developer. Those buildings were often highly successful, as demonstrated by national awards from the Secretary of Education In addition, He tweets daily about his various literacy endeavors (@DoctorSam7). He writes a weekly blog
    about literacy.

  • 27: The One About ...Missy Purcell talks about Rebranding Balanced Literacy

    Dyslexia mom and former Balanced Literacy teacher, Missy Purcell, saw the Science of Reading light and now advocates for evidence-based literacy so that every child can learn to read.We asked Missy to speak with us and share thoughts about an infographic posted on the Reading Recovery website describing how Reading Recovery aligns to the Science of Reading (SoR) and Scarsborough’s Reading Rope. Missy’s youngest son, now eleven-years-old, was given the RR intervention in first grade, so she has a lot to say as a parent advocating for Structured Literacy.

    Judy Boksner, a co-host on The Literacy View, has been in the education field for over 25 years. She is still very active in her field and in the trenches on a daily basis. Judy was trained in Reading Recovery back in 2013.  She recognizes the inherent problems but also values certain aspects of her former training. She has devoted the last seven years diving deep into structured literacy and explicit instruction. Judy is trained in Orton Gillingham, Fundations, and additional  structured literacy programs and interventions.

    Faith Borkowsky taught first grade and has tutored Reading Recovery “graduates” who still needed intensive intervention.

    The focus of tonight's episode is based on the infographic: https://readingrecovery.org/scarboroughs-rope-and-reading-recovery/
