© 2024 The Literacy View
Description
Teachers are tired and want to be excited about teaching again. Too often, professional development is boring, not substantive, or lacks a practical how-to approach. The Literacy View invites viewers to sit with Faith Borkowsky and Judy Boksner to discuss best literacy practices in easy-to-implement ways. The two women are educators and literacy coaches. Faith and Judy encourage all educators to enter lively discussions about literacy's most pressing issues.

Faith counsels and provides professional development for school districts and teachers,
and offers parent workshops, presentations, and private consultations on science-based literacy practices. She is the author of the award-winning book, Failing Students or Failing Schools? A Parent’s Guide to Reading Instruction and Intervention, and the “If Only I Would Have Known…” series of books, conceived as a roadmap for literacy-readiness and success for parents of young children. Faith regularly blogs about literacy issues and tirelessly advocates for community-based solutions to promote literacy for all children and social justice. She works with school districts and community-based literacy professionals all over the world, and in 2021, Faith was a finalist for the World Literacy Foundation Award for her significant contributions to literacy.
Faith is honored to have a role in the 2022 feature-length documentary, The Truth About Reading.

The One About…TRL Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines with Dr. Maria Murray and Kari KurtoHere is a link to the Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines:https://www.thereadingleague.org/curriculum-evaluation-guidelines/When reviewing curricula for Tier I instruction, it is essential to ensure they do not include instructional practices that are not aligned with the scientific evidence base of how children learn to read.The Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines are designed to highlight any non-aligned practices, or“red flags,” that may be present. Here is a landing page with more information on the Curriculum Navigation Reports:https://www.thereadingleague.org/media/introducing-the-reading-leagues-curriculum-navigation-reports/ Each report provides an in-depth examination of each curriculum’s components based on evidence-aligned practices. One of the reports’ unique strengths is their emphasis on identifying ‘red flag’ practices—those that do not align with the scientific evidence base. These reports are the only ones that prioritize identifying practices that could prevent students fromdeveloping skilled reading.Maria S. Murray is the founder, CEO and President of The Reading League. A pioneer in the “science of reading” movement, she has been active in this field for more than 20 years.

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 abouthow 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.

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 BuckinghamArticle: Don’t Discard Comprehension StrategiesJune 22, 2023https://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.
