Episode 251One of the most consistent findings in reading research is this: how much you know determines how far you can go as a reader.In this episode, we’re joined by Kelly Gallagher, author of To Read Stuff, You Have to Know Stuff, to explore why knowledge is central to comprehension and what that means for classroom instruction.Kelly helps us rethink the long-standing emphasis on isolated reading strategies and instead focus on building knowledge at multiple levels: word, sentence, passage, article, and book.Kelly offers clear examples and practical thinking that will help you reflect on how knowledge is built over time and how we can design instruction that goes deeper, not just wider.RESOURCES<ul><li><a href='https://www.amazon.com/Read-Stuff-You-Have-Know/dp/0325161461'>To Read Stuff, You Have To Know Stuff</a> by Kelly Gallagher</li><li><a href='https://www.kellygallagher.org/article-of-the-week'>Kelly Gallagher’s Article of the Week </a></li></ul>Looking for more literacy support and resources?
