    Leveled reading, leveled lives, with Tim Shanahan, Ph.D.

    In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, top literacy scholar Tim Shanahan, Ph.D., returns to discuss his new book, Leveled Reading, Leveled Lives: How Students’ Reading Achievement Has Been Held Back and What We Can Do About It. During his conversation with Susan Lambert, he outlines what existing research says about leveled reading—and why it’s not effective. He also shares how the misuse of theory can lead to ineffectual conclusions, makes a case for the efficacy of more explicit instruction, and provides a few simple tweaks teachers can make to classroom instruction that can make a big difference for their students.  Show notes: Access free, high-quality resources at our brand new companion professional learning page. Resources:Book: Leveled Reading, Leveled Lives: How Students’ Reading Achievement Has Been Held Back and What We Can Do About ItJoin our community Facebook group.Connect with Susan Lambert.Quotes:  “This notion of trying to match kids to books and get everybody to their right level is, at the very least, wasteful. It's not benefiting kids.” —Tim Shanahan, Ph.D. “We're spending an awful lot of time doing a lot of work that is not only not paying off, but it's probably holding a lot of kids back.” —Tim Shanahan, Ph.D. “When we try to ease the path so much so that the kids will hardly even know that they're learning anything, they're probably hardly ever gonna learn anything.” —Tim Shanahan, Ph.D. “Maybe we should be having kids read some of these texts more than once. Maybe we should be doing some of our fluency work, not after we did the comprehension work, but ahead of time.” —Tim Shanahan, Ph.D. Episode timestamps* 02:00 Introduction: Who is Tim Shanahan? 03:00 Most proud of as a researcher 05:00 Most proud of in education policy work 06:00 First book: Leveled Reading, Leveled Lives 07:00 Motivation to write: Addressing instructional levels 14:00 Relevance of misuse of theory 17:00 Leveled instruction isn’t effective 21:00 Self-reflections in the writing process 22:00 Parallels to verbal learning 24:00 What can teachers do? 26:00 Fluency and reading things twice 32:00 Grade level teaching opens opportunities 33:00 The future of literacy development 39:00 What is happening in American schools? *Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute

    Science of Reading Essentials: Comprehension

    In this special Essentials episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert pulls from past episodes to distill reading comprehension insights from experts Hugh Catts, Ph.D.; Sharon Vaughn, Ph.D.; and Reid Smith, Ph.D. Listeners will walk away from this episode with a foundational introduction to the complexities of reading comprehension, and gain an understanding of topics such as reframing comprehension as an outcome rather than a skill, choosing the right texts and asking the right questions, cultivating long term memory and knowledge recall, and understanding the real purpose of reading.  Show notes:  Access the listening guide—and other free, high-quality resources—at our brand new professional learning page: http://amplify.com/science-of-reading/professional-learning Join our community Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/scienceofreadingQuotes: “This Essentials episode does not answer everything about comprehension. All we're doing here is building a foundation, understanding that comprehension isn't a skill, it's complex.” —Susan Lambert “ For the most part, if we're paying attention, if we can read words efficiently and know what they mean and have background knowledge, it yields comprehension.” —Sharon Vaughn “ Some people say that the purpose of reading is comprehension. It's not the purpose of reading. The purpose of reading is whatever you're comprehending for.” —Hugh Catts  “[There’s] a strong literature base that tells us that one of the differences between poor readers and strong readers is their ability to notice when there are inconsistencies in the text, and have strategies that they can employ to resolve those inconsistencies.” —Reid Smith Episode Timestamps* 01:00 What are “Science of Reading: Essentials” episodes 02:00 Introduction to comprehension 05:00 Defining comprehension 07:00 Reading comprehension as an outcome 09:00 The purpose of reading with Hugh Catts 11:00 Comprehension vs foundational reading skills 17:00 The importance of text and asking the right questions with Sharon Vaughn 20:00 Discussion on leveled reading 26:00 Background knowledge with Reid Smith 28:00 Long term memory and knowledge recall 31:00 Final thoughts, tips, & encouragement 34:00 Key takeaways from Susan 36:00 Season 10 preview 39:00 Coming up next: Tim Shanahan *Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute

    Unlocking reading: Comprehension strategies vs. knowledge building, with Daniel Willingham, Ph.D.

    In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert welcomes back researcher and author Daniel Willingham, Ph.D., to discuss reading comprehension. With only so much instruction time in the day and research supporting both comprehension strategies and knowledge building, it can be tough to know what to prioritize in the classroom. Daniel holds nothing back in outlining exactly where educators should focus their time. Together, he and Susan explore the limitations of comprehension strategies, the place for critical thinking skills in relationship to knowledge, and recognizing when messaging around knowledge has gone too far.

All of that's happening outside of awareness.”  —Daniel Willingham, Ph.D. “When reading is really humming, when it's really working well, it's like visual perception. You're just enjoying the view and you're oblivious to all of the cognitive machinery in the background that's letting you see.”  —Daniel Willingham, Ph.D. “Expecting that knowledge-rich curriculum is going to solve all problems… that's [not] what a reading program is. No, a reading program is multifaceted and needs to have lots of components.”  —Daniel Willingham, Ph.D. “Knowledge accrues slowly and it's going to take a while.

    A guide to integrating knowledge building into your classroom, with Jackie Relyea, Ph.D.

    In this special episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by Jackie Relyea, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Literacy Education at North Carolina State University, who’ll give you a comprehensive guide to integrating background knowledge into your teaching as, you create a content-rich classroom. Jackie offers insights on why time-tested classroom staples such as read-alouds and word walls are effective tools for building background knowledge … and how to make them even better. She also digs into why vocabulary is just one facet of conceptual knowledge and what the research says about background knowledge for multilingual learners.

The richer and the more detailed your schema about a particular topic, the easier it is to understand and remember new information about it.” –Jackie Eunjung Relyea, Ph.D. “Vocabulary oftentimes is the tip of the iceberg of the whole: the conceptual knowledge.
