June 14, 2025 Listener Favourites: 5 Evidence Informed Alternatives to Independent Silent Reading
Has something in this episode resonated with you? Get in touch!
Today, I want to talk to you about an issue that has had me with a bee in my bonnet for a little while now, and that is the large amount of time that many children spend in independent silent reading during literacy instruction.

Now, my challenge with this is not that it is bad for children to read on their own; in fact, we know that there are positive impacts. Professor Pam Snow from La Trobe University often says that once children become proficient decoders, their independent reading has much to add to their vocabulary and language development. So I'm not here to tell you that reading is bad for kids. Quite the opposite.

But I will suggest that there are more efficient and effective ways that students can spend time during that block of the school day that is allocated as literacy instruction time.

June 07, 2025 Listener Favourite: Planning To Make Report Writing Easier
Has something in this episode resonated with you? Get in touch!
Ready to transform the headache of report writing? Join me, Jocelyn, on the Structured Literacy Podcast, where we unpack the art of aligning curriculum with classroom planning. This episode offers practical tips to grade with ease. We'll reveal how a well-organized classroom and targeted 'I can' statements not only empower your students but also pave the way for straightforward assessments. Say goodbye to the common pitfalls that bog down report writing—like insufficient evidence or a lack of differentiation in student work—and embrace strategies that celebrate every student's unique path to success.
