The What, Why and How of SOR in the Upper Elementary Classroom

Why does this research matter to upper elementary teachers? 3.How can I implement it into my literacy block?  Quotables: -SOR centers explicit and systematic instruction in the skills that teach students how to decode and understand what they read. -Science of Reading matters, because ensuring that all students have access to explicit and systematic instruction ensures a more equitable experience for all students.  - The best way to deliver explicit instruction in each component of reading is to use the mini lesson framework Links to resources mentioned in the podcast: Book a discovery call for one on one coaching or school professional development Episode 61: The Real MVP of Your Literacy Block Grab Your Free Mini Lesson Guide Next Steps: If this episode resonated with you, take a screenshot of the episode and tag me on instagram @msevamireles.  This helps my show remain active in order to continue to help other upper elementary teachers get ideas they can use in their class today.
