What if the secret to stronger readers isn’t more reading instruction—but better writing instruction?
In this episode, literacy expert Dr. Steve Graham reveals why writing is often the missing piece in early reading success—and how you can use it to supercharge your phonics, fluency, and comprehension instruction.
We’re talking research-backed strategies you can actually use in your PreK–2 classroom, even if writing always feels rushed, messy, or squeezed into the last 10 minutes of the day.
In this episode, we'll talk about:
Why writing instruction is a game-changer for early readers.
How sentence construction helps build comprehension.
What SRSD is (and why it works, even for first graders).
Smart ways to teach writing—without a full writing block.
What the science really says about the writing–reading connection.
