LOVE the Reading Roadtrip Podcast and this episode was excellent! Highly recommend this and all episodes!!
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.
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!
