Sounds very sensible!

This is GREAT and is NEEDED--I don't know of any curricula on the market that calls this out for teachers... YET

And honestly WAY more valuable than all the 'chop it into syllables' activites done in K-2 classrooms right now.

Key take-away: of using comprehension strategies in service of building knowledge 1) Pre-teach vocabulary; 2) help Ss id text structure; 3) build the main idea ⁦Tiffany Peltier, Ph.D.🌸⁩ ⁦High Five Literacy⁩ #brilliance podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the…

Remembering this awesome time at SSSR w/this powerful group of women researchers back in July 2022!

Always great to hear about new studies, theories, & practical on the ground work in schools.

Can’t wait for International Dyslexia Association’s Annual Conference this Oct!

I almost hate to do it because of all the misconceptions surrounding the term, but…
