Great information and tips for teaching vocabulary for students. Biggest take away is to slow down instruction for implicit learning in reading.

This is what I have been looking for. I have been teaching 5/6 for a number of years and each year I have more struggling readers a I just did not know where to start. I liked the idea of a short phonics lesson at the start of each small group

Aylin TPT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/21
Every teacher does the best they can with the knowledge they have. Unfortunately, this podcasts promotes literacy strategies that have been debunked by science and makes it so 60%+ of kids won’t become proficient readers. Please listen to Emily Hanford’s APM podcast “At a Loss for Words.” When we...Read full review »
