Julie and Christine discuss the research known as "The Science of Reading."
Check out RPDP's Science of Reading website.
- Correction- at about five minutes in Christine refers to the Simple View of Reading. She inadvertently says, "reading comprehension is the sum of word recognition and language comprehension." Later, she uses the correct verbiage when she says, "reading comprehension is word recognition times language comprehension." The Simple View of Reading states reading comprehension is the product, not sum of word recognition and language comprehension.
Christine and Julie discuss how teachers can better prepare students for the SBAC.
- In our discussion Julie and Christine shared that the Map test only tests six standards. In fact, MAP assesses six READING standards ( six in both RI and RL) and three Language standards.
