Thread: According to the article, “Hard Words: Why Aren’t Kids Being
Taught to Read,” by Emily Hanford, “More than 60 percent of American
fourth-graders are not proficient readers…and it’s been that way since
testing began in the 1990s.” Clearly this is problematic. After reading
the article, discuss the following:
• According to the article, what factors have led to perpetual reading
deficiency?
• How has research, noted throughout the article, influenced educational
decision-making in the past few decades?
• How have teacher preparation programs failed teacher candidates in
incorporating research into reading programs?
• What specifically can you do in the future to ensure that those under
your leadership are actively seeking out and utilizing research to
improve student outcomes?
