Natalie collaborated with Judith Hochman on The Writing Revolution-the most no-nonsense approach to teaching writing. Natalie’s own book is called  The Knowledge Gap.  Last week I talked about how many of our kids don’t have any BK or background knowledge.  Natalie shares how having background knowledge of a topic allows more struggling readers to make sense of the text.
