In the seventh and final episode of Reading Deeply: Fueling the Brain, Tanya Vincze, Lead for Learning and Teaching at DSB1, is joined by instructional coach Kate Rosenthal to explore the powerful connection between writing and comprehension. Entitled "Writing to Learn and Comprehend: Strengthening Understanding Through Writing," this episode delves into the idea that writing and reading must co-exist in the classroom to support deep thinking and learning. Tanya and Kate discuss how to structure the writing portion of the literacy block into three key components: handwriting fluency, sentence and paragraph instruction, and genre and content-based writing. They highlight evidence-based practices and useful resources—from handwriting routines inspired by Dr. Steve Graham, to juicy sentence work, to explicit paragraph and genre instruction—all designed to help students develop as confident writers and thinkers. This episode reinforces the importance of giving students daily opportunities to write meaningfully about what they read and learn, ultimately strengthening both comprehension and communication skills.
