Right now it’s it’s baby/beta stage it progresses by skill (not by grade-level), starting with letter sound recognition and moving to CVC blends, then introducing more complex sounds (digraphs, welded sounds) with more blends. Kids read sentences by unit 2. It’s best for kids just getting started!

In the last school year, after years of controversy, San Francisco schools fielded pilots that reintroduced Algebra to 8th grade. A preregistered, quasi-experimental study by Elizabeth Huffaker and me indicates the major pilots were largely successful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/u...

I had a vision for scope & sequence based on my teaching years. I wanted the sound pronunciations, ordering, & blends to be pedagogically correct. I also wanted option for parent/teacher to customize with their voice to encourage the young reader.

Very concerned how these federal policy changes will impact vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks — with consequences to child health, parental workforce participation, and schooling. See our working paper for impact of recent measles outbreak on student absences: edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1358

For context, this drop in attendance rates related to the measles outbreak (about 93% to 90%) is almost as large as the initial drop in TX attendance rates from pre-pandemic to post-pandemic (95% in 2018-19 to 91% in 2021-22). (TX attendance trends over time here: www.aei.org/research-pro...)

The impact on absences is 10x greater than would be expected from known measles cases alone. This suggests absences extended far beyond confirmed cases, likely reflecting precautionary decisions to keep children home.

Sofía Wilson @sofia-wilson.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

We find that a major measles outbreak in West Texas increased student absences by 41 percent. Absences increased among students across all grade levels, with the greatest impact among the youngest students. apnews.com/article/meas...

When measles hit West Texas, school absences soared and it wasn't just sick kids who were out

When a measles outbreak hit West Texas this year, school absences surged far beyond the number of children who likely became sick.

In 2000, measles was declared eradicated in the U.S. Today, declining child-vaccination rates are driving the largest measles resurgence we've seen in 3+ decades. How do these outbreaks impact schooling? @tomdee.bsky.social and I examine this question in West Texas, the country's largest outbreak.

Woah. Argentina's 1990s preschool expansion program appears to have been a smashing success. The program increased high school completion by a whole 11.9 percentage points. The authors estimate that for every $1 spent, the preschool expansion generated about $11 in benefits.
