The office has been deep cleaned and I have been busy planning a fun summer for my students this last week.

When I open for summer on Monday, I am excited to show my in-person students the exclusive summer prizes.

We have this fun new capsule machine loaded with new stuff, including chances to win some items that are too big for the capsules!

It’s gonna be a great summer.

This is why I usually use EBLI!!!
Monday spots still open in summer.

An independent 2023 analysis from Teaching By Science / Pedagogy Non Grata took a close look at EBLI and speech-to-print instruction.

The takeaway?

EBLI received a 10/10 qualitative grade, with the reviewer noting that EBLI contains the essential types of literacy instruction and is especially strong for older struggling readers.

The analysis also highlighted EBLI’s speech-to-print approach, where instruction begins with spoken language and helps students connect sounds to the spellings that represent them.

That matters because English is flexible, and students need instruction that helps them understand the code without being overloaded by rules, exceptions, and unnecessary complexity.

The data is in and confirms what us EBLI tutors have been saying all along!

These students had already struggled with reading for years. Some had not made progress with previous instruction.

Then the approach changed.

The results in this study weren’t small. More fluency. Better accuracy. Stronger spelling. And growth that held over the summer.

That’s why conversations around how we teach reading matter so much.
