    #17 Flexible Grouping Within Core Instruction

    Have you ever wondered what Tier 1 differentiation looks like?  If so, this episode is for you. In this episode, Savannah Campbell discusses the concept of flexible grouping in reading with guests Samantha Smusz and Sarah Robinson. They explore the differences between flexible grouping and traditional intervention methods, the reasons behind their shift to flexible grouping, and the logistics of implementing this strategy in the classroom. The conversation highlights the successes and challenges faced by educators in adopting this new approach, as well as practical advice for those looking to implement flexible grouping in their own teaching practices. Key Takeaways Flexible grouping allows for targeted instruction within core curriculum. Intervention focuses on catching up, while flexible grouping reinforces grade-level skills. Data-driven decisions are crucial for effective flexible grouping.  It's important to expose all students to grade-level material, regardless of their current skill level. Teachers should start small and gradually implement changes to avoid overwhelm. Collaboration and communication among staff are key to successful implementation. About Samantha: Samantha Smusz is a reading specialist in Roanoke City Public Schools with 14 years of experience—11 as a classroom teacher and 3 in her current role.

    #16 Beyond Round Robin Reading: Strategies to Boost Reading Engagement

    In this episode of Creating Readers, Savannah Campbell discusses effective alternatives to traditional round robin reading methods. She emphasizes the importance of student engagement in reading and presents various strategies such as echo reading, choral reading, cloze reading, and cloze drop reading. Savannah also highlights the significance of who is doing the reading and the need for accountability in student reading practices. The episode concludes with a call to action for educators to implement evidence-based practices to enhance literacy education. Key Takeaways Engaged students are the ones doing the most work. Round robin reading can lead to emotional trauma for students. Echo reading provides high support for students. Choral reading helps students engage with the text. Close reading focuses on comprehension at the sentence level. Closed drop reading encourages active participation. Students who read more tend to become better readers. Accountability is key in ensuring students are reading. Annotation codes can enhance student engagement during reading. Implementing evidence-based practices can change lives.
