Writing about content levels the playing field. "I don't know what she did at Grandma's house. I can't help her with that. I do know what we talked about in science, so when it comes to writing time, I can help her." @AbbyTeachesDSM Ep. 4 out now! knowledgematterscampaign.org/podcast/

The back to school buzz has begun! The first day of school may be July 24, but today we welcomed some fantastic educators to the district office to learn about foundational literacy and how students learn to read. Their commitment to ongoing learning and improvement is inspiring!

We can’t get enough of this new #KnowledgeMatters podcast! Episode 3 with Tennessean @DelorisELACoach has definitely been our favorite! #Reading360

Natalie Wexler@natwexler

Like many teachers, @DelorisELACoach was skeptical when she was first asked to use a knowledge-building curriculum. She felt it would be too hard for her 3rd graders & they wouldn't be interested. Listen to Ep 3 to find out what changed her mind. knowledgematterscampaign.org/post/podcast-s…

Far too many popular strategies for teaching reading are not actually supported by research. We sifted through to find the ones that are most effective.

I was lucky to be able to interview educators like Spring for the Knowledge Matters Podcast (knowledgematterscampaign.org/podcast/). She & others describe better than I can what can happen when schools adopt knowledge-building curricula--e.g., a 1st grader who exclaims "I LOVE THIS LESSON!"
