Ep. 14: What about our Striving Secondary Readers?

We would love to hear from you! Send us a message (if you'd like a reply, email us at literacypodcast@greatminds.org)

What happens when kids get to high school and are striving readers, struggling to fluently read grade-level text? We discuss the Libens' approach to addressing this issue, as well as share experiences of Baltimore City Schools Secondary Blueprint Literacy Coaches Zachary Jaffe & Tami James.

Read Know Better, Do Better by David & Meredith Liben, Chapter 7, to have a deeper understanding of the springboard for our conversation.
