Joined so I could release my inner fangirl and squee with the masses. This blog is a hodgepodge of fandoms and interests: Rumbelle (from Once Upon a Time), Phantom of the Opera, Game of Thrones, Reylo, spookiness, etc...I also work in academia so I expel my stress here.

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

[prokopetz]

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

[buggyhuman]

Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have

[woodsfae]

If you were taught to read with the three cueing method, and now struggle to read fluently, you can still learn to read properly!

“Jorge Rivera-Herrans is the next Lin Manuel Miranda! Jorge is Lin!”

No Jorge Rivera-Herrans is the next Darren Criss/Nick and Matt Lang. EPIC is new gen A Verry Potter Musical.

Epic is a (low budget) musical based on famous book made by a bunch of talented people stemming from someone’s uni project and keeps getting revived by awesome animations and got suppperrr famous online THAT’S AVPM

And now it’s super duper popular they’re making a second musical based on related stories (ILIUM vs AVPSY) that’s hollup lemme tell you exactly how this is gonna work out

Epic is gonna get super famous, Ilium is gonna be incredible but not gonna have as much popularity. Then Jorge’s going to create as many more projects as he wants to and they’re just randomly going to SPIKE in fame (TGWDLM, Twisted… need i go on?) and he’s going to have a theatrical universe

How do I know this? BECAUSE IT’S WHAT HAPPENED TO STARKID

THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST cast at the OSCARS — 1992

[vaseshipghost]

Oh Beast looks so handsome in a modern suit! I can’t believe I didn’t know this existed any sooner!

Also him needing reading glasses is a cute detail. Wish that had been in the original now.

[batbcomic]

The glasses bit made me feral the first time I saw it. Ugh. We love a gentleman monster.
