Level Up with Literacy from SST 1
March 2022: Explicit Instruction & Direct Instruction
In each Level Up with Literacy newsletter, one of our consultants addresses a hot topic in literacy.
This month, Ginna Fall explores how explicit instruction and the gradual release model can help students more fully understand the lesson presented, and become more confident and competent learners.
"After all my years of teaching and observing teaching, I know this:
Students are happier and more assured, confident learners led by an Explicit Teacher.”
- Ginna Fall, SST 1 Literacy Consultant
“Explicit instruction is direct and unambiguous with the goal of students understanding and learning. It is systematic, relentless, engaging, and successful.”
– Dr. Anita Archer
