Holly Lane

It's here!!

Can't wait--my copy should arrive any day! I was honored to get an in-person preview of some of the content during my recent trip to London. This book gives the HOW to accompany the WHAT and WHY in Chris's previous brilliant book.

Anyone up for an online discussion group?

It was such a pleasure--and an honor!--to see UFLI being implemented so brilliantly in Ireland. Thanks to the teachers who welcomed us and to you, Dee, for making this happen. 😍

This talk is definitely worth your time (I was lucky enough to be there for it in person)!

...sessions beyond this, such as @mralmonded.bsky.social's session on handwriting, @hollylanephd.bsky.social's session on effective phonics, etc.

For this reason, I doubt this specific case goes anywhere, but it may spur some new laws or regulations.

For medicine and food products, we have the Food and Drug Administration. For car safety, we have the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. There is no equivalent of the FDA or NHTSA for education--nothing to say "this doesn't work to a particular standard, so you can't legally sell it."

Does driving count as walking? Both are legitimate modes to get from point A to point B, but they are not the same thing. Listening and reading are both completely legitimate modes to consume the content of books, but they are not the same thing. What's wrong with acknowledging they are different?

Come join me in London to chat about the key features of effective phonics instruction...

Been here for many months, but finally getting around to posting. Looking forward to chatting about literacy with you fine folks! 📚
