How to Go Beyond the Science of Reading — Natalie Wexler
Have we gotten better at teaching children how to read without paying enough attention to what they need to know?
Natalie Wexler, author ofThe Knowledge Gap and Beyond the Science of Reading, joins Have a Life Teaching to explore why phonics alone isn't enough. We discuss the importance of background knowledge, vocabulary, writing, and connecting literacy instruction to the science of learning. We also consider how schools can build knowledge while preserving student curiosity, engagement, and teacher judgment.
