The research is clear: End of unit tests are far less effective than ongoing, shorter checks for learning. The best strategy is ~2 x's a week where learners seek to "best themselves" and watch their own improvement grow over time. #howtolearn #patternseeker

Being a featured speaker at @Lesley_CRRLC Summer Institute was a spectacular experience. Here are a few tidbits we discussed re: word study being explicit, systematic, and responsive (while also consistently weaving in a heavy dose of joy)

Inquiry is prepared and intentional. It is done in conjunction with explicit teaching. It is that partnership that gets kids excited about words. @pamkou #Lesley_CRRLC #wordstudy
