Hi Cathy and colleagues,

I think that this would be important.  In the Atlantic Monthly piece that Carol Dixon & I did on looking back and looking forward  in literacy, we traced an early argument to 1889 or such.  Addressing the recurrent issues and what we have learned would be important.  Perhaps we could also apply for an AERA conference to support this initiative.  I am happy to share what we have learned about traveling the digital highways to create international dialogues.  Today this is generally no or low cost and it could support a cross-national ongoing dialogue with scholars about their research that would make visible what we are learning through different research traditions.

Let me know if anyone is interested in that as a form of media outreach across programs.  Also you might want to see the RRE on what counts as evidence to different policy makers at different levels of the educational systems internationally.  It RRE 34, 2010.

I look forward to seeing if this makes sense to anyone.

Best,
Judith

How about a media campaign, Children learn to read in different ways. PSAs that show how different kids learn.  Feature PSAs with kids and parents and teachers talk about how they learn. Maybe Reading specialists talking about the same topic. Put money into a campaign.

I love this worrying thought from Diane Ravitch’s piece:

“The definitive work on the Reading Wars was written by Harvard Professor (and former kindergarten teacher) Jeanne Chall, titled Learning to Read: The Great Debate in 1967.
Nothing new has been said since then.”

Google Scholar has a different perspective, and offers 1,160,000 publications on reading from 1967-2019 (this of course includes the 17,000 that link ‘Ravitch’ and ‘reading’).

I ran across this entry on Diane Ravitch's blog.  A good example of how NOT to approach the issue:

Garn Press could repost if the RHF gives permission.

We are a no-profit press supporting teachers and scientists. We publish below cost to make sure teachers have access to GP books.

We also have a large network of educational bloggers who repost with Garn on a regular basis. I am sure many would also repost the letter. Add GP's social media reach and the letter would be widely distributed.

You can access GP here: https://www.garnpress.com/

Folks

I tried to post this when the discussion of this issue first popped up...let's try once again as it may be even more appropriate now.

We spend so much time in a reactive role as with the recent NPR piece.

The need is...of course...to be a great deal more proactive as a group (at least within the legal requirements impacting the RHF).

We each need to become active with the EWA (https://www.ewa.org<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ewa.org&data=02%7C01%7Cdenny.taylor%40hofstra.edu%7C5261cbfd75d74fdcac0708d6da68b551%7Ce32fc43d7c6246d9b49fcd53ba8d9424%7C0%7C0%7C636936540610451290&sdata=pEe2KKC7p7G7rrjcj41lJL2DnCvhaJ8y%2F39r9ATPkUk%3D&reserved=0>).

The good Dr. Pearson once noted that he made a presentation to the group back during the midst of the Reading Wars.

Even your signing up for their daily news release would make sense so as to have the lay of the land at least somewhat before certain topics hit more general release.

Just a thought.....
