#8: New to the Science of Reading? Do These 5 Things First
When you’re starting to put the science of reading into action, it can be hard to know where to start. There are just SO MANY different teaching tools and strategies to pick from…
Should you throw away your leveled reading books? Jump feet first into phonics? Laminate a giant pile of new literacy centers?
I’m excited to walk you through the first five steps I always recommend to teachers so you can test them out and see the difference brain-friendly teaching makes too.
IN THIS EPISODE, we’ll talk about…
- The very first change to make (and why it can’t wait!)
- A skill students need to practice every. single. day.
- Why leveled reading books are failing kids and what to use instead
- The common teaching tool that’s actually holding students back
- The simple little tweak that helps kids memorize new words in a flash
