(1:37) The Three Cueing System– Fact
or Fiction?: In this very short video, the
Three Cueing System is discussed in
terms of why it is NOT an effective or
evidence-based reading strategy in
teaching children to read. The 3-Cueing
system does not foster independent
readers.

In this fabulous little video (3:49), Sanger
USD has opened its doors to share the
various ways their teachers activate prior
knowledge before teaching a new concept
or beginning a new unit. There are exam-
ples from 1st grade through 8th grade in a
variety of subject areas!

In this (5:30) video, a review of how to use
Elkonin boxes for explicitly teaching pho-
neme-grapheme mapping is demonstrated.
It is not an exciting video but it is a good
reminder!
