Lots of controversy after my post about explicit, systematic instruction! Discussions are good! But watch what happens when, yesterday, I decided to take an inquiry-based approach in a literacy lesson…. I asked students to guess the meaning of a new word (Château). Two incorrect answers were given and I inevitably had to explicitly tell them the correct answer in the end! It was NOT a good use of precious instructional time and deflated their confidence in what they thought they knew. Direct, explicit instruction is THE most effective approach to learning. You can’t activate prior knowledge if you don’t have the knowledge to begin with!! Zach Groshell Carl Hendrick Nidhi Sachdeva, PhD

My Orton-Gillingham training changed the way I approach reading instruction. I adapted many OG strategies for my #MLL students including Code packs. Code packs are an essential strategy for students who cannot guess or predict words they don’t know. The only way to read a word is by sounding it out. But to sound it out, they MUST know the individual letter/sound associations. This is the focus of Emily Hanford’s Sold A Story podcast. Note: This is ONE of many important instructional strategies within a #StructuredLiteracy approach that helps with word reading skills for struggling #FSL readers. There is a LOT more to SL than this. Reading is complex. And hard work is hard. But our students are worth it❤️❤️❤️ Institute for Multi-Sensory Education

“The ability to produce and comprehend spoken language is one of the earliest predictors of literacy achievement.” (National Early Literacy Panel, 2008) Research consistently indicates that strong oral langage skills are essential for reading and writing proficiency. That’s why I provide intensive, small group remediation for Kinder students who do not come to school with these foundational skills. We need to build students’ receptive (input) AND expressive (output) language skills AND intervene as early as possible to prevent learning gaps from widening. #Articulation #Speech The Reading League Tiffany Hogan
