In this episode, we'll talk about:
Why kids who read fluently may still struggle to comprehend.
The myth of “just right” texts—and what to do instead.
How vocabulary, background knowledge, and morphology support comprehension.
Sentence-by-sentence questioning that rewires student focus.
Writing and read-aloud strategies that strengthen understanding.
