  • Summary

  • In this podcast episode, Sharon continues to dive into an innovative protocol designed by Dr. Nell Duke and her team, aimed at enhancing literacy instruction for teachers and students alike. Sharon explores how this assessment tool serves as a guide to help teachers track and support students’ growth in reading and writing with a focus on clarity, purpose, and alignment with curriculum standards.The protocol’s foundation lies in purpose-driven literacy tasks, helping students understand the "why" behind their work. By prompting questions like, “Why am I writing this?” or “Who is this for?”, teachers encourage students to connect personally with reading and writing, fostering a deeper, more meaningful engagement. Sharon discusses how this tool spans all year levels, adapting to age-appropriate curriculum expectations and offering insights into language complexity. For instance, Year 3 students are supported to move beyond phonics, learning varied letter patterns and decoding strategies essential for understanding complex words.This protocol doesn’t just benefit students; it’s invaluable for teachers at any career stage. Early-career educators gain structured guidance in assessment, while experienced teachers find new insights that validate and enrich their practice. The tool encourages teachers to make intentional observations, providing data to shape class-wide and individualised instructional plans. As Sharon explains, the protocol’s collaborative approach helps schools unify their literacy strategies, fostering reflective practice and shared growth among teaching staff.Teachers interested in this tool will find resources like printable forms, prompts, and instructional videos on Dr. Nell Duke’s website. Join Sharon as she illustrates how this protocol empowers teachers to teach with purpose, offering a pathway to unlock every student’s full literacy potential.READ THE BLOG HERERESOURCESListening to Reading, Watching While Writing protocolTEACHIFICPersonal Word Walls JOIN TEACHIFIC NOW AND SAVE!Join Teachific today.
