In this episode, we get into some heat about the Reading Wars. While Balanced Literacy aims to create a joyful reading experience, Structured Literacy provides the explicit instruction necessary for students to actually learn how to read. —But can’t we have BOTH joy & proficiency when implementing the Science of Reading research?
We explore why it’s essential to bridge evidence-based practices with creativity and passion to ignite both competence and a love of reading in students.
Michelle reflects on the historical tension between balanced literacy’s focus on fostering a love of books and structured literacy’s emphasis on foundational skills. She explains why both the science and the creativity of teaching are critical in today’s classrooms, and offers three practical steps for teachers looking to bridge the two into their practice.
