In this episode of Literacy Talks our three literacy experts share some of their reading instruction pet peeves. From humorous to heartwarming, you’ll hear why English is not a complicated language (it’s complex), why reading instruction can’t and shouldn’t end at third grade, the problem with limiting students to books only at their Lexile level…and more. It’s a fast-paced, fascinating look at rethinking and relearning what we thought we knew about teaching reading.
Here are the six pet peeves shared by Stacy, Donell and Lindsay:
- When people refer to English as a crazy language
- When people think that IQ and reading are related
- When we tell children they can only read books at their Lexile level
- Not learning what we needed to learn about the science of reading when we were in college
- The resistance to getting rid of the 3 cueing strategy
- When people think that reading instruction ends at third grade
