Hello and welcome back! On today’s episode, we are discussing a story that has been all the “buzz” in the education world. But first, Katie and Esther shared what they did for New Years and their New Year’s Resolutions.
Also, make sure to stay clear of spilled salt, cracks in the cement, and black cats. It’s Friday the 13th!
So, what is the “buzz” in the news? There’s a podcast out there that is grabbing the attention of educators everywhere. Emily Hanford’s podcast, Sold a Story, addresses the way that school districts have been teaching kids how to read. There seems to be a few philosophies about how we should teach kids how to read, Including the “cueing” system.
What is the cueing system?
The cueing system consists of asking kids three questions to see if they can come up with the right word.
Emily’s stand on this method is that it does NOT work. This is not helpful for kids and contrasts with the phonics approach to learning how to read, which is the method Brainspring uses to teach kids how to read.
Our hosts talk about why this doesn’t work, and dive into Equity vs. Equality regarding education. Katie and Esther also explain more about what Brainspring does to help kids who are struggling with reading, and the importance of meeting kids where they are.
