Teaching Children to Read

I've recently come across two articles that pair quite well together. One is about the neuroscience behind learning to read and the other is somewhat of an argument against the Kindergarten Common Core State Standards. I know that I see many teachers, principals, and the general public who stress about the need for kids to learn to read right now! These articles contain some interesting arguments for developmental appropriateness and meeting kids where they're at. There is a lot more that goes into teaching than just the Common Core State Standards.

So . . . how do we combine this research with current district, state, and national expectations? 

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Have a happy Thursday!
