Episode Synopsis

What is the Summer SeriesA collection of listener favourites from the Structured Literacy Podcast to help you prepare for 2025. Todays EpisodeYou may have heard the phrase "low variance" in relation to literacy instruction. Low variance refers to instruction that has the following features: Firstly, it usually has a scope and sequence or a clear outline of specific content that is to be taught. People know what they're going to teach, the order in which they're going to teach it, and the how.  Now, it's common for teachers to be told exactly when to teach particular concepts and skills, and in different subject areas, the level of specificity this needs to take is a little different. When it comes to things that have to be mastered before we move on, enabling teachers to make the decision about when to move on is a good thing, but perhaps we're going to keep things a little more consistent.While evidence-informed programs are seen in many schools, this doesn't make adopting evidence-informed practices effortless or stress-free. The Reading Success in the Early Primary Years Teach Along will give you the confidence to make nuanced decisions about early reading instruction, regardless of the program your school uses, and get the best outcome for every student. Has something in this episode resonated with you?
