Dive into our first episode as Dr. Jane Oakhill, Professor of Experimental Psychology at the University of Sussex, gives a high-level overview of Scarborough’s Reading Rope. She also emphasizes the importance of inferencing in comprehension, why the Simple View of Reading is still relevant almost 40 years later, and how each element of the rope comes together to deconstruct the complexity of reading.
Quotes:
“We’re often quite surprised at what children don’t understand and we make a lot of assumptions about things we find utterly trivial.”
“It’s not just having knowledge that’s important, but also being able to activate that knowledge when appropriate.”
