Listen "Book Talk: The Knowledge Gap by Natalie Wexler"
Episode Synopsis
Natalie collaborated with Judith Hochman on The Writing Revolution-the most no-nonsense approach to teaching writing. Natalie’s own book is called The Knowledge Gap. Last week I talked about how many of our kids don’t have any BK or background knowledge. Natalie shares how having background knowledge of a topic allows more struggling readers to make sense of the text.
