The One About…
Is ‘Sold a Story’ an incomplete and oversimplified picture of reading?
Nick Covington’s view
“My goal with this piece is to capture the questions and criticisms that I have not just about the narrative of Sold A Story but of the broader movement toward “The Science of Reading,” and bring in other evidence and perspectives that inform my own. I hope to make the case that “The Science of Reading” is not a useful label to describe the multiple goals of literacy; that investment in teacher professionalization is inoculation against being Sold A Story; and that the unproductive and divisive Reading Wars actually make it more difficult for us to think about
how to cultivate literate kids.” – Nick Covington Nick Covington bio:
Nick is the creative director for the Human Restoration Project and former high school Social Studies teacher in Iowa public Schools. He promotes progressive education across the board. Nick aims to reestablish the idea of what school could be to one of student-centered success that relies on their ideas and knowledge instead of a dictated “future-ready” curriculum.

The One About:
Don’t Discard Comprehension Strategies with Jennifer Buckingham
“The arguments against teaching comprehension skills and strategies are often framed in these ways: 1) Comprehension skills/strategies are not generic, transferable competencies … so it is a waste of time to teach them explicitly.
2) Reading comprehension is highly dependent on background knowledge … so an evidence-based approach to reading comprehension is to always embed instruction in a knowledge-building context.
These two statements are only partly true.” – Jennifer Buckingham
Article: Don’t Discard Comprehension Strategies
June 22, 2023
https://fivefromfive.com.au/blog/dont-discard-comprehension-strategies/
Bio:“Dr Jennifer Buckingham OAM is Director of Strategy and Senior Research Fellow at MultiLit, and Director of the Five from Five Project.
Jennifer is the founder of the Five from Five project which provides evidence-based information on effective reading instruction. Her PhD research was on effective instruction for struggling readers. She has provided advice on reading instruction, curriculum and policy to the NSW,
Victorian, South Australian and federal governments and was the chair of the expert advisory group to the federal government on a Year 1 literacy and numeracy assessment. Jennifer works with systems, schools and teachers to improve literacy instruction and assessment. She is a board member of the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership, an affiliate member of the La Trobe University SOLAR Lab and a member of the National Catholic Education Commission’s Standing Committee on Educational Excellence.”
