🎙️ The Literacy View – 125: Takeaway Tuesday LIVE! (Recap of 122)

Guests: Viewers + Live Q&A with Trina Spencer & Doug Petersen

💡 What’s Inside:
This Takeaway Tuesday episode revisits key ideas from Episode 122, where we tackled the false debate between strategy instruction and knowledge building. Listeners joined us live to share their biggest takeaways—and then we turned it over to two literacy legends:
Dr. Trina Spencer – https://absc.ku.edu/Trina-Spencer
Dr. Doug Petersen – https://www.childlanguagespecialist.org/welcome-douglas-bryan-petersen/
Together, we dug into:
Why BOTH strategy & knowledge matter
Real classroom applications (beyond theory)
The harm of sticking to one “camp”
How oral language and writing fit into the big picture
🔥 Soundbites:
“It’s not about picking sides—it’s about serving kids.”
— Dr. Trina Spencer
“Ignoring either side of literacy is a disservice to teachers and students.”
— Faith Borkowsky
🛠️ Practical Takeaways for Educators
✔️ Start with oral language routines early and often
✔️ Build knowledge sets across texts—stop treating reading as isolated events
✔️ Make vocabulary instruction explicit and connected
✔️ Replace “skill & drill” with discourse, writing, and reflection
✔️ Decodables are essential for building early reading skills—but students also need rich texts that grow vocabulary, knowledge, and comprehension.
