Ohio's $168 Million Science of Reading Initiative Gains Early Teacher Endorsement

In Columbus, Ohio, educators appear to be supporting Governor Mike DeWine’s revised strategy for promoting literacy education. According to a recent survey, 68% of Ohio's early elementary schoolteachers view the state-required science of reading instruction positively. However, these educators often add supplementary programs, which sometimes do not align with the state’s guidelines. The Thomas B.

Warisan berupa tulisan sebenarnya tidak hanya memberi inspirasi kepada manusia, melainkan juga menjadi amalan yang terus menghasilkan ganjaran baik secara berkala? Jembatan Waktu yang...

Even though they might be part of the intellectual elite, Harvard students Could finish their degree without picking up a single work of fiction throughout their tenure at the nation's most ancient institution of higher learning. Scolding her fellow 25,000 students at the institution founded in 1636, Claire Miller asserts that the university ought to mandate them to read at least one book. In The Harvard Crimson, the campus newspaper, Ms. Miller has advocated for making an English course mandatory for students, who annually pay over $56,000 (£44,350) in tuition fees. She posed a query to her colleagues, saying, "Can anyone recall when they last finished reading an entire book?" For someone planning to concentrate in English, it happened last week for me. However, if you inquire about this with fellow students from different majors, they're more inclined to respond with an indifferent shrug. Students at Harvard frequently gripe about the reading ass...
