Today we chat about how we approach the teaching of reading as we read Lucy Calkins' article "No one gets to own the term 'The science of reading.'" We talk about the history of the "reading wars" and how we both endorse a balanced literacy approach. We also discuss how to support older students who are lacking foundational reading and decoding skills. Read along with the article here:
