Podcast: Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis
When we get into unfamiliar topics, it's our responsibility to build background knowledge, and when we do that kids are engaged, excited, and they sink their teeth into what they're learning."
The much-anticipated second edition of Strategies That Work was published in May. In Part I of our podcast, authors Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis discuss how their thinking has changed in the seven years since the first edition, especially on the importance of background knowledge and comprehension monitoring.
In the second of their two-part podcast, Steph and Anne discuss the new content literacy section of Strategies That Work. They affirm that "it's not strategies for strategies' sake" and stress the importance of merging comprehension instruction with content learning.
