    In episode 2, I will dive deeper into the importance and power of a mini-lesson. This is one of the most important parts of a literacy block. This is where explicit teaching happens and where students can take hold of a skill or concept you are teaching.

    Key Points:

    • The definition of a mini-lesson
    • How to find content for your mini-lesson
    • The structure of a mini-lesson (5 parts)
