How to Move From the ‘Main Idea’ to ‘Background Knowledge’

Interested in a diagnostic assessment for students who struggle with comprehension. Any thoughts on #Acadience CFOL or #CUBED-3? #structuredliteracy #SoR

Reading -> comprehension-> 🎯 learning. Keep your eye on the target.
Just out: Part 2 of my post explaining why there IS enough evidence to justify a switch to knowledge-building curricula.
If we wait for definitive experimental evidence, we'll be waiting a long time--and many kids will continue to suffer academically.

Is the "Buzz" About Knowledge Justified by the Evidence (Part 2)?
The answer is still yes, but we have to be realistic in our expectations.

The truth is that vouchers don't work.
They take funding from public schools while leaving behind students with disabilities, Black & brown students, & kids in rural communities with no private school options.

I have a 30-minute skills block which includes daily spelling, vocabulary, morphology, and reading fluency work. I try to keep initial instruction of vocabulary and spelling quick and simple. Ss use mwb for answering. I teach 3 words at a time using consistent routines.

I live in a country where book bans have been prohibited since 1849.
And yet, the rise of book bans in America and the incredible impact it is having, is something I spend a lot of time thinking about, discussing, and fighting against. Why do I care when I am across an ocean?
