As you know, I speak about the Reading Rope quite a bit. But did you know there is also a Writing Rope or a Simple View of Writing? As part of my research, I have read the Writing Revolution by Natalie Wexler, LETRS Volume 2, and the Writing Rope by Joan Sedita, I have deepened my understanding of this topic and hope that I can give you a quick overview on this podcast. 

On this podcast, I will walk you through: 

- Foundational Skills or Transcription

- Composition - including sentence formation and composition of paragraphs

Okay, that's a mouthy title. One of the main questions I had, when I began taking the LETRS course, was how is this any different from what I'm doing. And of course, once I dug into it, I realized a lot was missing from my instruction. 

In this episode, I share how language comprehension lessons are uniquely different from other comprehension lessons. But I also talk about what is the same and what is still good instruction. We will dive into the five components a little more, and talk about whole group instruction as well as how important it is to be planned. 

If you are questioning the difference, I hope you will take a listen! 

Hi ya'll...

For our very first episode, I'm going to share with you some tips about lesson planning. What? You may think I've been doing that for years, or I just wing it, or I don't have time for that...honestly, I've had all three of those thoughts. But, in this climate of post-pandemic teaching, we truly do need to know what and how to teach our content. However, it has to be manageable. 

I am including a FREE resource for you after listening to this podcast for you to download and use as your own.  I am even including several options:

In the last episode, I talked about how language comprehension differs from just "comprehension". Today, we will chat about teaching in a whole group vs. small group instruction and the benefits of both.  In this podcast I will share: 

- Benefits of Whole Group and Small Group

- % of the time that should be whole group and small group

- Breakdown of time in the whole group and small group

- Explicit Instruction - Talk, Write, Do

- Inquiry-Based Instruction - You, Y'all, We

- Engagement - Talk it, Write it, Do it

I'm hoping this will help you understand a few of the shifts in our instructional model. As always, please shoot me any questions you may have!

Are you looking for information about best practices for language comprehension? We know that the simple view of reading states that word recognition X language comprehension = reading comprehension. But what does that mean, exactly? 

My vision for this podcast is to share with you quick 15-20 minute strategies, knowledge, and tips that you can put in place tomorrow. We will focus on best practices in: 

While we are focusing on these areas, I will also share how we can keep our kids engaged without breaking the bank or overwhelming you, the teacher! 

I also have a passion for arts integration and will share ways that you can include these meaningful engagement strategies in conjunction with art, music, drama, and creative movement. 

All of these podcasts will complement my already successful TPT store! And if you sign up for my email list, you will get a winter bundle of resources for FREE - a $15 value!

Looking forward to chatting with you!
