S2 Episode 5 - How Do We Know That It's Time To Start And Stop Reading Decodables?

Welcome to this week's episode of the Structured Literacy Podcast. I am coming to you from Pataway Burnie in gorgeous Tasmania. I'm Jocelyn, and so pleased that you've been able to join me. <br/><br/>In this episode, I'm going to discuss a question that comes up often in our live events and online forums. That is, how do we know when it's time to begin and then move on from using decodable texts? For a lot of years, decodable texts were very limited to a small number of series. My earliest exposure to them was with the Fitzroy readers, and then a downloadable series from the website Teach the World to Read. We are currently offering live workshops for upper primary teachers who want to make the shift to structured literacy. In this workshop, we will equip you with knowledge about language and instructional routines to use in your classroom right away. Our workshop will be in Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton, and Burnie. Places are limited, so book your tickets today.  <br/><br/>Quick Links<br/>Jocelyn Seamer Education Homepage<br/>The Resource Room<br/>The Evergreen Teacher<br/>Shop<br/>Youtube channel<br/>Facebook Page<br/><br/>#jocelynseamereducation #literacy #bestpractice #earlyprimaryyears #primaryschool #primaryschools #primaryschoolteacher #earlyyearseducation #earlyyearseducator #structuredliteracy #scienceofreading #classroom #learning #learningisfun #studentsuccess #studentsupport #teacherlife #theresourceroom #theevergreenteacher #upperprimary #upperprimaryteacher #thestructuredliteracypodcast #phoneme #grapheme #phonics #syntheticphonics
