When students are working with sounds, connecting them to letters, and building words, they’re developing orthographic mapping.

Routines like word chaining give them that repeated practice.

[Teach Like a Champion @TeachLikeAChamp]

In our latest Substack, we explore how vocabulary is knowledge to be built, not a strategy to be deployed. Through explicit instruction, implicit support, and recursive practice, words move from exposure to ownership.

New research from SRI Education highlights a gap between the adoption of high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) and the depth of reading comprehension instruction in elementary classrooms.
Although teachers widely use comprehension-focused curricula and students are actively engaged with texts, most classroom lessons still result in surface-level understanding rather than deep, robust comprehension.

This brief explains why this distinction matters, identifies instructional practices linked to deeper learning, and offers actionable steps that school and district leaders can take to ensure students develop meaningful understanding from complex texts.

Think-Pair-Share has the widest gap between success and failure in the classroom. With clear prompts, tight timing, and real accountability, it’s a powerhouse for thinking. Toss it in without intentional design and it collapses into noise. With TPS, intentionality is everything.

I think I am going to post these in my room, right next to Dr. Archer's Archerism chart.

Responsive Teaching Principles by @C_Hendrick :

"Adjust the teaching, not your expectations."

"Reteach don't just repeat."

"Feedback is a change, not a comment."

"Slow down to speed up."

"Make excellence explicit."

"Use tasks to reveal, not just to assess."

Gaurav is right, this is pure brilliance.

"Students don’t become confident writers just from opportunities to write. They get there through intentional instruction, guided practice, and, eventually, independent practice."-- TWR

Every teacher should listen to this episode.

Every interventionist should listen to this episode.

Every teacher of reading should listen to this episode.

Every reading specialist.

Every administrator and every ed leader who makes decisions around reading should listen to this episode.

Understanding at which learning stage the learning is breaking is essential to the remediation and acceleration of the student's reading and learning.

Thanks, @literacypodcast and Dr. Burns, for this great episode.

📚 PHinder is a free tool from Dr. Devin Kearns that helps you find phonics patterns based on their frequency in real words.

🔍 Just type in a pattern or sound and PHinder will do the rest. (You’ll love how nerdy-cool it is. We did!)

This is why your child is not getting Educational Assistant support.

This is why there is no Spec Ed Teacher to help your child catch up on basic math or literacy skills.

This is why the ventilation in your child’s classroom is not working.
