A must watch! Super for a PD session. It was very interesting to think about syntax and grammar as the bridge between word reading and text comprehension- as opposed to fluency- yet it does build fluency!
A great video that explains explicit instruction, and also how educators can support the cumulative and systematic and sequencing of the content and skills.
Great video.
