In this episode of Schoolutions: Coaching and Teaching Strategies, I welcome back New York Times bestselling author and educator Jennifer Serravallo to discuss her latest book, Teaching Reading Across the Day: Methods and Structures for Engaging Explicit Instruction.

Jen shares insights on:

• The importance of balancing research-based practices with teacher autonomy
• Nine different lesson structures for teaching reading throughout the school day
• How to use various grouping strategies like focus groups, guided inquiry, and conversation groups

• Practical tips for implementing these structures in the classroom

Whether you're a seasoned educator looking to enhance your practice or a pre-service teacher seeking guidance, this episode offers valuable strategies for effective reading instruction. Jen and I discuss the research behind these methods and how teachers can adapt them to meet the needs of their students.

Tune in for an enlightening conversation on making reading instruction more meaningful and complete by acknowledging students' diverse backgrounds and funds of knowledge.
