I love this podcast! I have been wanting to use mentor texts in my classroom but have been overwhelmed in getting started! This podcast has made me a better teacher!! Thanks for what you do!
This podcast will really help you take a deep dive into text with students of all ages! It’s a great resource for teachers, reading specialists and literacy coaches. I suggest adding it to your library and sharing it with your grade level partners.
What a fabulous resource! These quick episodes can be listened to in the car, while folding laundry, or during your prep period!
Each episode can inspire your lessons in so many different ways. You can teach the lesson as explained, or take small tidbits back to your classroom and jazz up the lessons you already have planned!
Great to share with your colleagues too! Thanks Julie!
I’m so happy that Litcentric has a podcast! It’s like bringing the fabulous Julie Webb right into your classroom. Her lessons are so thoughtfully executed and accessible for all. The best part is that you are ready to do the lessons right away because Julie provides everything you need to take action in your classroom. Well done, Julie. You’re my favorite!
This podcast is amazing because Julie takes books and develops a lesson on how to teach each book. In each podcast she reads the book with her daughter and then trains/explains the corresponding lesson. I can’t wait to use these lessons in my classroom. Thank you Julie for creating the podcast for teachers, homeschool and parents.
Definitely worth a listen
What a great opportunity for educators, parents, and students! Julie provides pedagogical techniques for teachers to use with mentor texts during her engaging read alouds. Parents and kids can enjoy a story with creative questions sprinkled throughout. Fun!
Julie is a phenomenal educator and literacy coach. I was fortunate enough to receive some invaluable trainings from her to take back to my classroom. I am a better teacher because of Julie. I am extremely excited about LitCentric Radio and learning from Julie again. Woohoo!
Thank you sooo much, Julie!
Fabulous resource for teachers who teach reading and writing. This is linked to an anchor text do get the books!!
