@natwexler.bsky.socialGreat podcast episode by @drewperkins.bsky.social with @natwexler.bsky.social wegrowteachers.com/beyond-expli...
Show PostI agree with the point she makes that a knowledge-building curriculum should build comprehension over the medium-long term and so we shouldn’t expect to see short-term programmes having an effect.
Show PostKelsey Piper had me at the headline, “Teaching kids to read isn’t just phonics.” I love seeing the importance of background knowledge and text-rich instruction get its due. Great read: @natwexler.bsky.social @katasolow.bsky.social @missypurcell.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/theargum...
Show PostNumber 3 is this wonderful breakdown of what IQ scores actually mean by @dtwuva.bsky.social and @ent3c.bsky.social. Really excellent summary. My only regret is that they didn’t cover the recent Flynn effect reversal…. bsky.app/profile/dtwu...
Show PostNumber 2 is this in-depth article by @natwexler.bsky.social on the importance of children reading whole books. I wholeheartedly agree with what she says although wish we had more research in this area. bsky.app/profile/natw...
