Send us a textCharles Hulme and Maggie Snowling share decades of research on reading development, dyslexia, and oral language. They explain why knowing how to teach is as vital as what to teach, clear up myths that can derail instruction, and spotlight evidence from interventions like NELI. Research shows that boosting spoken language early provides children with more resources to apply during independent and teacher directed learning, leading to stronger reading and broader academic success. The evidence is sufficient and the tools now exist to assess and teach spoken language in the early grades.”Major Takeaways from the Research:Boosting oral language early leads to gains beyond language, impacting reading and overall learning.Instructional success depends on both what is taught and how it is taught.Myths and faulty beliefs can reduce the effectiveness of reading interventions.Tools like NELI provide scalable, evidence-based ways to strengthen early spoken language skills. 🌵 Tumbleweed Publishing: Decodable Texts That Deliver Want 10% off and a chance at surprise bonuses?📩 Email [email protected] - it's the only way to get the exclusive Literacy View coupon code 🔗 Explore Tumbleweed PublishingSupport the show🚨 No BS Literacy View Is Now Available to Partner with You 🚨 We collaborate with schools, districts, leaders, teachers, parents, sponsors, and brands.
