Discover the transformative power of structured literacy practices for grades three to six with our latest episode! What if you could create a consistent literacy block that enhances teaching effectiveness and reduces cognitive load? We're diving into the critical importance of common structures and routines, and exploring the potential pushback from teachers who are used to working independently. Learn how to start with low variance explicit practices at the word level, such as spelling, to build strong foundational skills and a shared vision of knowledge and practice among teaching teams.
We also discuss the implementation of text-based units and the benefits of using short stories and picture books to integrate reading, comprehension, and writing seamlessly. Addressing the challenges of low variance syntax instruction, we provide strategies to support teachers in gaining confidence and transitioning to a structured literacy block. Tune in to discover free resources like "A Teacher's Guide to the Upper Primary Literacy Block" and a five-day course beginning July 22nd, 2024. Equip yourself with insights and practical advice to elevate your teaching practice and foster a more effective literacy environment in your classroom.

While evidence-informed programs are now seen in a growing number of schools, that doesn't make the adoption of evidence-informed practices effortless or stress free. The Reading Success in the Early Primary Years Teach Along will give you the confidence to make nuanced decisions about early years reading instruction, regardless of the program your school is using and get the best outcome for every student.
