  • Summary

  • Teachers are tired and want to be excited about teaching again. Too often, professional development is boring, not substantive, or lacks a practical how-to approach. The Literacy View invites viewers to sit with Faith Borkowsky and Judy Boksner to discuss best literacy practices in easy-to-implement ways. The two women are educators and literacy coaches. Faith and Judy encourage all educators to enter lively discussions about literacy's most pressing issues.


    Faith's Bio-Faith Borkowsky, the founder of High Five Literacy, LLC, is an internationally respected and sought-after literacy consultant, certified dyslexia practitioner, and award-winning author and speaker. She has over thirty-five years of experience in literacy instruction - as a classroom teacher, reading and learning specialist, regional literacy coach, administrator, and private tutor. Faith counsels and provides professional development for school districts and teachers,
    and offers parent workshops, presentations, and private consultations on science-based literacy practices. She is the author of the award-winning book, Failing Students or Failing Schools? A Parent’s Guide to Reading Instruction and Intervention, and the “If Only I Would Have Known…” series of books, conceived as a roadmap for literacy-readiness and success for parents of young children. Faith regularly blogs about literacy issues and tirelessly advocates for community-based solutions to promote literacy for all children and social justice. She works with school districts and community-based literacy professionals all over the world, and in 2021, Faith was a finalist for the World Literacy Foundation Award for her significant contributions to literacy.
    Faith is honored to have a role in the 2022 feature-length documentary, The Truth About Reading.

    Judy's Bio-Judy Boksner has over 25 years of New York City Education experience as an educator, classroom teacher, coach, and reading specialist. Judy works with teachers and children all throughout areas in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Greenwich Ct. She has extensive training in evidence-based methodologies such as Orton Gillingham, Wilson’s Fundations, and SRSD for Writing Instruction. Judy is also trained in The Hochman Method, also known as The Writing Revolution. Judy's work may be seen and followed on her show The Literacy View YouTube channel and
    podcast where Judy and her co-host Faith Borkowsky discuss and interview some
    of the leading voices in education about shifting to evidence and science aligned
    practices to accelerate student outcomes. Judy works with many private clients as a reading specialist and is also teaching mini courses at Manhattanville College.

    New Research Study on thinkSRSD with Dr. Leslie Laud, Nate Joseph, and Robert Mitchell

    Article:
    ThinkSRSD A Secondary Analysis Cohort Investigation [Working Paper]
    July 2024

    Conflict of Interest Statement:
    The first and second authors of this manuscript were contracted by ThinkSRSD to independently evaluate the efficacy of ThinkSRSD. Both authors received financial compensation for their work. However, a contract was established between the first author and ThinkSRSD outlining ethical practices, including a commitment to uphold the principles of ethical and open science. This contract mandated that all research outcomes, regardless of results, be shared publicly.

    Quote:
    “Out of the 97 schools analyzed, every single treatment school, or schools averaged as a group within a district if the full-district took part, outperformed their control cohort.”

    Dr.Leslie Laud
    Dr. Leslie Laud supports teachers, schools, districts and states nationally with strengthening writing instruction. She has taught in both general and special education, and worked as a principal. She holds a doctorate from Columbia University, where she was mentored by Dr. Judith Birsh in explicit reading instruction, Dr. Lyn Corno in self-regulated learning and Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond in school change.
