We do not think less of a talented actor who merely performs but did not write a Shakespearean tragedy. Great chefs need not be farmers, butchers, or fishermen. Teachers, by noteworthy contrast, are expected to be both expert lesson deliverers and instruction designers.?

Message-ID: All, NIFDI is trying to spread the word about the need for schools that want to start implementing DI to make sure they placement test their students before school ends so they can determine the best starting points for each child at the start of the school year, order the correct materials, form instructional groups, and arrange for teachers to get trained in the DI methodology. We also want to let potential school partners know the services that NIFDI can provide. Would you help by forwarding this to any contacts that may be currently or planning on utilizing the DI programs in their school?

Have your students? literacy gains been inconsistent? Are your young readers struggling to build foundational literacy skills? Are you struggling to figure out how to help them? Do you want to ensure that all your students are successful readers? If your answer to any of these questions is "Yes," now is the time to plan on implementing the Science of Reading with Authentic Direct Instruction to help all of your students succeed in 2024-25. Authentic Direct Instruction programs have a proven record of significantly improving students? literacy skills. 50 studies on Direct Instruction implementations lasting two years or longer had an average effect size of 0.76?or what researchers deem ?strongly effective?. And, according to the largest meta-analysis ever conducted on a single instructional approach, the longer you implement DI, the greater the effect. ? If you want to ensure your students become successful readers, here are several steps you can take right away to prepare for implementing DI as early as this fall: * placement test students prior to the end of the 2023-24 school year, * schedule program training for teachers and paraprofessionals who will be delivering DI, * attend the leadership training at the National DI Conference in Eugene (July 15-19) or schedule on-site leadership training, * secure ongoing coaching, data analysis, and staff capacity building support for the 2024-25 school year! ?
