Using the Science of Writing to Support Literacy Instruction With Dr. Young-Suk Kim

How intrinsically linked are the skills for reading and writing? 

In Season 2, Episode 14 of All For Literacy, Dr. Young-Suk Kim joins host Dr. Liz Brooke for a technically in-depth conversation about the interconnectedness of reading and writing skills. 

In tandem with a provided visual aid, Kim and Brooke deeply explore the Direct and Indirect Effects Model of Writing (DIEW). Proposed by Kim after her extensive research into the subject of literacy, the DIEW model breaks down individual components needed to master writing skills which include reading skills often discussed on All For Literacy. 

After listening, educators and administrators will understand how to: 

• Shape instruction planning around foundational skills 
• Optimize student success by integrating reading and writing instruction
• Implement differentiated instruction by using screeners and assessments 

Kim’s evidence-backed model provides actionable guidance for listeners who want to strengthen reading and writing instruction to best support their students’ entire academic journey. Tune into Episode 14 of All For Literacy for a masterclass on translating the science behind language and literacy development in daily classroom practices.
