Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Power of Read Alouds: A Conversation With a Colleague
Q: How do the moves you describe relate to writing for kids, and can they transfer into writing lessons?
Oral language and talk moves strengthen writing when students articulate their thinking about reading, which then translates into stronger writing across genres.
The Power of Read Alouds: A Conversation With a Colleague
Q: Can you describe what Read Aloud looks like in the classroom you're envisioning?
Read Aloud should be dynamic and interactive, often integrating writing, talk moves, and shared writing before gradually releasing students to do the work independently.
Activism in Writing: A Writing Roundtable
Q: How do you guide both younger and graduate students from opinion to informed action?
By starting with what students care about, ensuring the project remains authentic and developmentally appropriate, and always anchoring the work to real audiences and possible actions, so that opinions can translate into tangible change.
Foundational Skills of Writing: A Writing Roundtable
Q: Can you talk about why it's so important for teachers to understand the connection between gross motor development and fine motor skills?
Understanding that large motor skills contribute to small motor skills helps educators better support students' handwriting and writing tasks by incorporating movement.
Foundational Skills of Writing: A Writing Roundtable
Q: Can you share how graphic organizers can serve as thinking tools?
Graphic organizers help students manage their cognitive load by structuring information, allowing them more focus on the writing process itself.
