Folks still sharing my @theatlantic.com piece. Educator recently told me old idea was learn to read in elementary and read to learn in middle. Realizing now we need to continue to teach reading in middle. My next piece? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social can share directly with what's left of Dept of Ed.
