“There are some excellent nuggets here, but the content is often reflective of the fact that globally, the teaching of reading is in a bit of the “messy middle” right now - the science is clear and concise, but there are also some remnants of balanced literacy/whole language that percolate through. For example, today’s episode features a former 1st grade teacher recommending that you start the 1st grade year by reviewing “a letter a day, A thorough Z.” While doing this wouldn't cause harm, it’s absolutely a completely inefficient way of reviewing. Sure, take a day to see what letter sounds your students do and don’t know, and for the kids that know them all, see what more advanced phonic concepts they know. See what types of words they can read. Use those areas that are “known but not solid” to do your review. Don’t waste 26 days doing a letter a day! And also—“letters” no, “phonograms/graphemes”, yes!”Read full review »

“Anna says what we’re all thinking or used to think when we thought we were doing it all right. She’s a thought leader for teachers who are beginning to see the holes in leveled literacy instruction and who are accepting and open to learning that there might be a better way!”
