Ep.162
VALUE 🔥
What if we have been thinking about small group instruction all wrong?
In this episode, Nell Duke brings the real talk on what actually matters in literacy instruction right now. We dig into the role of knowledge building, why science and social studies cannot keep getting pushed aside, and what it really means to use small group reading instruction wisely.
This is not surface-level PD. This is the kind of conversation that makes you rethink your schedule, your blocks, and what students truly need to become strong readers.
PROMISE 🎯
You will walk away knowing exactly why your literacy block may need a serious shift and how to start thinking differently about small groups, comprehension, and knowledge building.
If you have ever wondered
Are we overdoing small groups?
Are we sacrificing knowledge for skills?
