  • A great voice for excellence in teaching reading

    I’ve been a fan of Anna through her podcast, and now her excellent book, for years. I am an avid podcast consumer, and Anna was built for podcasting. She is genuine, knowledgeable, generous, engaging, and she thinks well on the fly, always asking insightful questions of her guests. It doesn’t hurt that she has a great voice for podcasting as well. I look forward to every episode. Her recent series on the great work in the Cudahy schools gives me hope that we actually can teach all kids to read. ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to plan efficient and effective small group reading lessons - with Dr. Julia Lindsey
Q: How do teachers start thinking about this in terms of how much time should I schedule for my small group every day? What should I be thinking about when I'm trying to determine how often I meet with students, all of that?
She recommends reviewing screening and classroom data, identifying the needs that require small-group instruction, and setting meeting frequency and duration accordingly. Examples include decoding groups four or five times a week, fluency groups about three times a week, and comprehension support around twice a week.
How to plan efficient and effective small group reading lessons - with Dr. Julia Lindsey
Q: What's the difference between the traditional guided reading groups that you did and that I did as a teacher, compared to the kind of small group instruction you're recommending in the book?
Lindsey describes small groups as brief and targeted, guided by precise instructional data rather than text levels, and connected to whole-class learning instead of running as a separate curriculum.
Building Lexical Quality: The Secret to Stronger Word Reading
Q: What specific activities can teachers do to help kids learn words better?
Strom recommends sound-awareness games, wordplay read-alouds, word-neighbor lists, multiple-meaning charts, morpheme activities, and repeated reading connected to meaning. She also advocates handwriting and encoding, and using children's home languages when appropriate.
Building Lexical Quality: The Secret to Stronger Word Reading
Q: How should we think about word families differently?
Strom proposes thinking in terms of linguistic neighbors: words connected by sound, meaning, or structure. This reflects reading as a network linking visual, auditory, and meaning systems rather than a visual pattern-matching process.
What do we REALLY know about phonemic awareness?
Q: What is Project OPAL aiming to discover about phonological sensitivity vs. phonemic awareness?
OPAL is testing whether teaching phonological sensitivity adds benefits beyond phonemic awareness, using a controlled four-group design in pre-K and kindergarten, with long-term follow-up to see if early gains translate to later reading outcomes.
