Send us a textThe Decodable Debate: What No One’s Telling You-(128)🎙️ The Literacy View📺 Watch Now: https://youtu.be/abe1gkQVYHc?si=q20JfUk6WRYDjh3zArticle Discussed:https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/lit.12368🚨 Real Talk: Decodables Are Everywhere—But Are We Using Them Right?Districts are buying them. Teachers are assigning them. Publishers are hyping them. But beneath the buzz, the real question is: Are decodables making a difference—or are we just following a script?In this episode,  we go beyond the phonics fanfare to ask the hard questions:Are we over-relying on decodables at the expense of comprehension?What makes a decodable text actually effective?Are we seeing real gains—or just following mandates?🔥 Inside This Episode:What the research actually says about decodablesCommon misuse in classrooms—and how to course-correctThe myth of “just give them decodables and they’ll learn to read”How to balance decoding with real engagement and language developmentClassroom-tested advice for making decodables work with your instruction not instead of it👀 Why It Matters:Too many classrooms are being told decodables are the magic bullet. But without planning, intention, and skilled instruction, they can turn into robotic routines with little payoff. This episode unpacks the nuance—and gives educators permission to ask for more.💬 Quote Worth Repeating:“A decodable text isn’t a lesson plan. It’s a tool—and only as good as the hands that use it.”👩‍🏫 For Educators Who Are:Feeling pressure to use decodables but unsure howBalancing district mandates with what students actually needReady to cut through the noise and focus on what work.🔗 Resources Mentioned:📚 DK Phonic Books (Phonic Books Ltd)https://www.phonicbooks.com/👩‍🏫 Sue Marasciulo – Decodable Graphic Novelshttps://www.suemarasciulo.com/🌵 Tumbleweed Publishing – Decodable Texts for Upper Elementaryhttps://tumbleweedpublishing.com/———————————————————————📣 Subscribe.

Listeners joined us live to share their biggest takeaways—and then we turned it over to two literacy legends:Dr. Trina Spencer – https://absc.ku.edu/Trina-SpencerDr. Doug Petersen – https://www.childlanguagespecialist.org/welcome-douglas-bryan-petersen/Together, we dug into:Why BOTH strategy & knowledge matterReal classroom applications (beyond theory)The harm of sticking to one “camp”How oral language and writing fit into the big picture🔥 Soundbites:“It’s not about picking sides—it’s about serving kids.”— Dr. Trina Spencer“Ignoring either side of literacy is a disservice to teachers and students.”— Faith Borkowsky🛠️ Practical Takeaways for Educators✔️ Start with oral language routines early and often✔️ Build knowledge sets across texts—stop treating reading as isolated events✔️ Make vocabulary instruction explicit and connected✔️ Replace “skill & drill” with discourse, writing, and reflection✔️ Decodables are essential for building early reading skills—but students also need rich texts that grow vocabulary, knowledge, and comprehension.———————————————————————BREAKING News: A revolutionary breakthrough in dyslexia intervention is HERE!/Dysolve-Created By Dr. Coral HohIt’s bold.

Send us a textThis episode might challenge everything you once believed! In this evidence-grounded episode, we kick off with Jill Barshay’s March 2025 Hechinger Report deep-dive—“Proof Points: Reading Comprehension in the Classroom” (read it here)—which shows teachers spend under 25 percent of their reading block on genuine comprehension work and almost zero time on text-based talk.Doug Petersen and Trina Spencer—classroom teachers turned education scientists and founders of Language Dynamics Group—use those “proof points” as a launchpad to share why they walked away from one-size-fits-none interventions and built something better:❤️ Their evidence-first origin: witnessing multilingual and economically diverse learners get lost in decoding drills led them to found tools (CUBED, PEARL, DYMOND, Story Champs®) rooted in solid research evidence—and designed to be Implementation Ready, not extra paperwork.🧠 Research you can see: unpacking Scarborough’s Reading Rope alongside Beck & McKeown’s vocabulary studies, they demonstrate how just minutes of data-backed, teacher-led discussions unlock deeper thinking, richer text connections, and measurable comprehension gains.If you’ve ever stared at comprehension questions and wondered why they flop—or if you’re craving talk strategies backed by hard evidence that actually fit into a busy teaching day—this episode is your MVP playbook. Tune in and let language—and real, research-driven evidence—lead the way! ❤️❤️❤️Link to bios-Trina Spencer: https://absc.ku.edu/Trina-Spencer#:~:text=Spencer%20is%20a%20senior%20scientist,and%20Departmentj%20of%20Special%20Education.Bio Doug Petersen: https://www.childlanguagespecialist.org/welcome-douglas-bryan-petersen/You Tube Channel:https://youtube.com/@languagedynamics?si=h5sakwCjx1r_UYoFBREAKING News: A revolutionary breakthrough in dyslexia intervention is HERE!/Dysolve-Created By Dr. Coral HohIt’s bold.
