    Best of # 3 Should we teach whole class novel studies?

    This is one of my most listened-to episodes. If you missed it the first time then here it is! I once had a curriculum support person tell me that she didn't think teachers should do whole-class novel studies. My mind was blown! In this episode, I share my opinion on whole class novel studies (yes, yes, yes, please do them!) and give you my top reasons why I think they're important to do with our students. They're truly beneficial for so many reasons and I love sharing them with anyone who will listen. In this case, it's you!

    Best of # 2 How to dig deeper when analyzing a short story

    This is one of my most listened-to episodes. If you missed it the first time then here it is! What is close reading and how can you make it work in your classroom? In this episode, I answer those questions by sharing reading strategies that will help your students move beyond basic comprehension of a text into actually analyzing it and creating deeper meaning. Close reading is a skill your students will use again and again, so it's important to teach it right! You won't want to miss this episode.   Check out the Podcast Blog Show Notes HERE.   Want to connect further?
