In this episode of the Structured Literacy podcast, Jocelyn addresses how to safeguard the progress made in evidence-based literacy instruction by making data collection an integral part of teaching rather than an administrative burden. Drawing on Teacher Voice survey data showing significant shifts away from sight word programs and predictable texts between 2021-2023, she emphasises that implementing structured literacy programs means nothing without measuring their actual impact on student outcomes. Jocelyn provides seven practical strategies for data-informed practice, including understanding assessment purposes, aligning phonics assessments with program sequences, filling knowledge gaps before advancing, abandoning rigid pacing guides in favour of student data, conducting frequent check-ins, using personalised practice, and monitoring daily review effectiveness. Has something in this episode resonated with you?
