As a district leader implementing the science of reading, I deeply appreciate this article’s focus on leveraging high-impact practices and streamlining instruction. The critique of low-efficiency activities like letter tiles resonates; we often see these used without considering better alternatives. Similarly, your point on avoiding "bloated assessments" aligns with our efforts to make assessments quicker and more actionable.
Helping teachers understand the "what, when, and why" of reading instruction is at the heart of effective implementation. Thank you for clearly highlighting these critical shifts.
