There are a lot of skills under the #ExecutiveFunctioning umbrella, which can make supporting EF skills feel overwhelming! We've found that bucketing these skills into 5 categories makes implementing an EF framework with our students so much easier and more effective. ⁠ ⁠ Swipe through for a preview of how we do this! We'll be sharing more information about this EF framework at our 2025 SMARTER Intervention Summit. ⁠ ⁠ Comment "Summit" to learn more! ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #teachersofinstagram #teachersfoll...

We were always told that you can‘t teach comprehension explicitly, but years of instruction and research inform us that just isn‘t true. ⁠ ⁠ The truth is, we can explicitly teach strategies that students can use to support their comprehension before reading, during reading, and after reading. Students can use these strategies to support their comprehension across all 5 levels of processing. ⁠ ⁠ We will be sharing more about explicit comprehension instruction at our upcoming SMARTER Interventi...

When you think about reading fluency - what comes to mind?⁠ 🤔⁠ ⁠ Most often, we hear about "words per minute." How quickly is a child able to read? Some explanations also talk about accuracy or how "error-free" the student is able to read. ⁠ ⁠ Now, rate and accuracy are definitely both components of fluency.⁠ ⁠ However, fluency is so much more than that. There are a few fluency skills that get way less attention (but are just as important).⁠ ⁠ We'll be talking more about these 4 forgotten flu...
