    Science of Reading in the Classroom - Part 4

    Part 4- Comprehension Through Knowledge Building Curriculum with Equity in Mind!  The science of reading has taught us that students build comprehension through knowledge building.  We went searching for a knowledge building curriculum that we wanted to use.  In our search, we made equity a high priority.  We strongly believe in decolonizing history.  We want to give our students a world view that celebrates all cultures.  That search led us to Fishtank Learning!   In this episode, we also hear from the head of school at Odyssey, Dr. Howard.  He explains why equity is so important.  Support the show

    Science of Reading in the Classroom - Part 3

    Part 3- Phonics and Intervention with UFLI Every good science of reading program needs a strong phonics program that is explicit and systematic.  It also requires intervention work.  In this episode, we discuss how we use UFLI as a tool to teach phonics according to the science of reading and Orton-Gillingham methods.  We also talk about how we use small group interventions to help support struggling readers.   This episode will be helpful for anyone looking for ways to implement a high quality reading and phonics program! https://ufli.education.ufl.edu/  Support the show
