  1. Lindsay gives some practical advice about how she made shifts in her classroom. Her describing how she shifted her thinking about doing weekly spelling tests to a “show what you know” approach can shift the purpose of the task from a traditionally summative assessment to continual check ins that guide instruction.

  2. This was a great episode!
    This really stuck with me… “When we teach students to read words using cues like this, we’re literally teaching them to read like a poor reader.”
    Now that we know better, we can do better!

    I look forward to the book club at the end of September!
