What an incredible honor to be able to speak with @La_Casella on @Global_Montreal this morning about the @dyslexia_canada Educational Excellence Award I received and why I am an advocate for #DyslexiaAwareness & #ScienceOfReading Thank you!

The calendar says October 31. But dyslexia awareness doesn't end here! Awareness must lead to action. Early identification, evidence-based reading instruction, timely intervention, and meaningful support. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn to read. #Dyslexia

The results were so good that people accused them of cheating. piped.video/watch?v=n2EOPAf1…

Launching today: the inaugural podcast/webcast of Research Meets Reality! In every episode of Research Meets Reality, Dr. Stephanie Stollar and Dr. Pam Kastner bring a leading researcher or national literacy expert directly into conversation with a classroom teacher or other educator who has done the hard, real work of applying that research with actual students and gotten results. Not theory. Not a pilot program. Real kids. Real classrooms. Real Monday mornings. You’re going to hear both the science and the story, both the “why” and the “how.” And you’re going to leave every episode knowing exactly what to try next! We are starting with a question that is fundamental to literacy. How do students develop rich knowledge of words? Joining us for this robust conversation is Dr. Moddy McKeown, vocabulary researcher and co-author of Bringing Words to Life, and Sean Morrissey, Former School Psychologist, Fifth Grade Teacher and Creator of the Word Mapping Project! Watch here: piped.video/watch?v=zyesP8Fh… be sure to download the listening guide and additional resources, here: stephaniestollarconsulting.c… When research and practice align, readers rise! @sstollar6 @margaretmckeow2 @smorrisey

Many myths and misconceptions about dyslexia persist. As a result, many ineffective treatments and interventions continue to be promoted. Some can be expensive and may delay students' access to the evidence-based instruction and support they need.

Does direct instruction work? Some claimed Stockard et al. (2018) meta-analysis didn't compare DI to inquiry-based teaching for math. We reanalyzed the data. DI was significantly MORE effective than inquiry-based (d = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.49 to 0.70). @CECMembership @NCTM @ehanford

I dont say much about my work, the events, etc but it seems the ResearchEd (Toronto) train has left the station. Incredible event. Will make a difference in kids lives. More soon. @researchED_US @nsachdeva2019 @OntHumanRights @FulcrumLiteracy

What a fantastic day of learning @researchEDCan - such a quality conference! Thanks @nsachdeva2019 for all your hard work to put it together and presenting! ❤️ Anita Archer @KJWinEducation @thismomloves @LeslieLaud Sorry to have missed @MmeLockhartLDS and @smorrisey’s sessions!

Did you know....Mount St. Joseph University-Reading Science Program is developing a FREE, OPEN-SOURCE comprehensive curriculum, Reading Opens Worlds (ROW)! I am SO honored to be on the Advisory Panel for ROW! Want a sneak peek of ROW? Read on and then do-not-miss watching an incredible vocabulary lesson from ROW expertly taught by Dr. Tambra Isenberg! In this video, on Reading Universe, watch Mount St. Joseph University-Reading Science Program's own Dr. Tambra Isenberg expertly model one of the vocabulary lessons from ROW! How to Introduce a New Vocabulary Word: Collaborate Introducing a new vocabulary word works best when the routine is predictable. When students know what to expect, they can focus on the new word rather than guessing what's coming next. In this lesson, watch as Dr. Tambra Isenberg teaches a brand-new word — collaborate — to kindergartners at Holy Family School in Cincinnati, Ohio. Curious where this lesson plan came from? It's part of Reading Opens Worlds (ROW), a free, open-source curriculum being developed by Mount Saint Joseph University .

The study provided some answers. But didn’t change education. “It’s just astonishing to me that we’re still fighting the same battles." Read about the history of Project Follow Through. apmreports.org/story/2026/10…

The new season of Sold a Story is coming tomorrow. I've seen speculation about it. I think there will be some surprises. I'm interested to know what you think. First two episodes tomorrow. Then one a week on Thursdays until Nov 19. features.apmreports.org/sold…

Congratulations to Dr. Linnea Ehri, winner of the Samuel Torrey & June Lyday Orton Memorial Lecture & Award! 👏 Her research on orthographic mapping has transformed reading instruction. Well deserved! #DyslexiaCon26 #ScienceOfReading #StructuredLiteracy #UntilEveryoneCanRead

Sigh...why are people leveling UFLI stories? 💔
