The Literacy Dive Podcast: Reading and Writing Strategies for Upper Elementary Teachers and Parents - A podcast by Megan Polk, Literacy Specialist, Elementary Teacher - Mondays

This episode is all about unpacking some common myths and untruths about reading. While there are so many false beliefs when it comes to students and reading, I am only going to take a little bit of time to address four of them. These insights will increase awareness and will provide a fresh outlook on what is best for students.   Key Points: I will be sharing some truths to consider when it comes to these 4 myths, Myth #1: Children have to read the entire book that they are given. Myth #2: The faster a child reads, the better they are at reading. Myth #3: Reading comes naturally to kids and is a natural process. Myth #4: If my student receives intervention, they are getting what they need so I do not need to work with them in the classroom.   Connect with Megan on social media: TpT Store Instagram Blog Facebook Page The Literacy Dive Facebook Group If you are enjoying The Literacy Dive, please subscribe and leave a review!
