You know what else would be convenient? Smaller classes in kindergarten, funding and services for students with autism, less than a two year wait for speech therapy, fewer cuts to custodial hours so classrooms and hallways can be cleaned. Does @fordnation care about our children?

Which Reading Strategies to Try, and Which to Ditch

Research shows that some popular activities for reading instruction don't actually result in more fluent readers—so we rounded up the most classroom-worthy ones.
