About this episode
We share five evidence-informed moves to boost reading in Years 3–6, from language-rich talk and explicit code knowledge to partner reading and smart text selection. We close with practical ways to thread reading through science, history, and geography without burning out.• creating a language-rich classroom with explicit, natural vocabulary use• assessing and addressing phonics and morphology gaps• using partner reading to differentiate practice efficiently• prioritising short, high-quality texts over length for its own sake• integrating reading across the curriculum to build knowledge and stamina• avoiding overestimation of foundational skills through class-wide screening• focusing on accuracy before fluency and then sophistication• choosing one change to start and one area to strengthenEmail us at help@jocinseeducation.comHas something in this episode resonated with you? Get in touch! We have released Spelling Success in Action 1, a catch-up program for phonics, early morphology, and orthographic conventions for years 3 to 8. This program can be used one-on-one, in small groups, or as a whole class and is built on what the evidence tells us is the critical knowledge students need for strong spelling and the type of instruction that makes learning stick.Learn more about this resource and order your copy at www.jocelynseamereducation.com Quick LinksJocelyn Seamer Education HomepageThe Resource RoomYoutube channelFacebook Page#jocelynseamereducation #literacy #bestpractice #earlyprimaryyears #primaryschool #primaryschools #primaryschoolteacher #earlyyearseducation #earlyyearseducator #structuredliteracy #scienceofreading #classroom #learning #learningisfun #studentsuccess #studentsupport #teacherlife #theresourceroom #theevergreenteacher #upperprimary #upperprimaryteacher #thestructuredliteracypodcast #phoneme #grapheme #phonics #syntheticphonics
