@teacher2teacher I have never tried this, but I appreciate the idea. I am going to incorporate this before the week ends!

@mrs_m_logan I love this!! The fact you’re going ahead and having them utilize the letters & sounds they know right away is going to make a huge difference in their reading progress. #scienceofreading

@MrZachG Exactly. Evidence-based instruction lives in the how, not just the why.

@MrBestDHT @Doug_Lemov This resonates with me in early elementary. It’s a good reminder that comprehension isn’t just about decoding, but about background knowledge and vocab. It makes me think more intentionally about building knowledge thru read-alouds & content-rich texts, even before fluent reading

Want to see an explicit vocabulary routine in action?

Watch how @Taylor_SOR introduces the word "invent" to her students and prepares them to learn about Benjamin Franklin.
