💡 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
