The Science of Reading In Action

This short video by Linda Diamond for
CORE Learning explains two of the basic
models for the Science of Reading: The

Simple View of Reading & Scarborough’s
Rope. This video is a simple review.
(3:40)

Are you getting ready to start a unit and
want to know how much students already
know? Maybe you want to have students
review the information from a unit you
have already studied. Try mind-mapping!
It reinforces background knowledge. This
is very short (0:20) clip. Get your science
hats on!

In this video social studies teacher,

Kate Gaskill, shares how she gets
students engaged in small group

discussion at the beginning of the
class period. Give it a try to get
your students TALKING! (2:05)

You can’t help but smile when you
see this first grade student direct-

ing a choral read! (0:52) Choral
reading is a great way to practice
fluency regardless of grade level.

See this additional video for a
teacher-led choral read (2:00)
