Terrific new article on the reading comprehension and strategy intervention for struggling readers. Strategy instruction alone is ineffective; rather; background knowledge is the active ingredient for reading comprehension https://t.co/PputzrtUfj
“Today, the man wearing red got on the subway, he opened his folder and started reading. 🧐
A few stops later a man got on and asked him “what are you studying for? You look confused, maybe I can help?”
He said my son just failed a math test, and I am re-studying fractions so I can teach him. I am 42 years old and I don’t remember any of this, so I am reteaching myself.
The guy in the black informed him that he use to be a math teacher, and would help quiz him.
Everything the man in the red got wrong, it was broken down and corrected for him.
By the end of the train ride, the man had a better understanding.
He had a new method to go home with to teach his son.
It’s the little things like this that I love seeing, because most people could care less about what the person next to them is going through.
❤️❤️❤️”

New pub alert! Understanding how early reading skills are impacted by phonological differences b/w dialects helps teachers distinguish differences from difficulties. @thekarolmoore@KocherhansSarah

@DrKChilds Yes! Developmentally appropriate for the win! However, drives me crazy when they are not used all year long, but pulled out for assessments. They don't even know what to do with them if you don't utilized them for more than a test.
