  • Summary

  • Teachers are tired and want to be excited about teaching again. Too often, professional development is boring, not substantive, or lacks a practical how-to approach. The Literacy View invites viewers to sit with Faith Borkowsky and Judy Boksner to discuss best literacy practices in easy-to-implement ways. The two women are educators and literacy coaches. Faith and Judy encourage all educators to enter lively discussions about literacy's most pressing issues.

She has over thirty-five years of experience in literacy instruction - as a classroom teacher, reading and learning specialist, regional literacy coach, administrator, and private tutor. Faith counsels and provides professional development for school districts and teachers,
    and offers parent workshops, presentations, and private consultations on science-based literacy practices. She is the author of the award-winning book, Failing Students or Failing Schools? A Parent’s Guide to Reading Instruction and Intervention, and the “If Only I Would Have Known…” series of books, conceived as a roadmap for literacy-readiness and success for parents of young children. Faith regularly blogs about literacy issues and tirelessly advocates for community-based solutions to promote literacy for all children and social justice. She works with school districts and community-based literacy professionals all over the world, and in 2021, Faith was a finalist for the World Literacy Foundation Award for her significant contributions to literacy.
    Faith is honored to have a role in the 2022 feature-length documentary, The Truth About Reading.

    Stacey Klein and Max

    Stacey Klein is a fierce parent advocate who took on Minnesota’s most affluent school district to fight for her son’s right to learn to read. Her son completed 3rd-grade with a Kindergarten reading level. Without her advocacy and intervention, he was on a trajectory to finish 12th-grade reading at a 4th-grade level. Stacey's family navigated years of delays, denials, a due process hearing, and federal lawsuits in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, ultimately costing them $300,000 in educational and legal fees. Despite the district’s appeals, her son received all of his court-ordered services, worked hard, is now reading at grade level, and is on track to graduate with his peers. Today, Stacey relentlessly advocates for students with learning disabilities like dyslexia, committed to ensuring no family has tofight the same battle her family did to guarantee their child learns to read in school.

    The One About…

    SRSD Plus Oral Language, Handwriting, and Spelling with Dr. Young Kim

    Dr. Young-Suk Kim and SRSD founder, Dr. Karen Harris, developed an integrated approach for Kindergarten to Second Grade students that takes the well-regarded SRSD framework and strengthens the foundational skills for beginner writers. This fascinating work is groundbreaking, and the results are impressive!

    Young’s recommendation:

    “When teaching reading and writing subskills, make the link between reading and writing explicit and visible. Explicitly point out how target skills and strategies can be used in reading and writing contexts.”

    Dr. Young Kim bio:

    Young-Suk Grace Kim is a professor and the senior associate dean at the School of Education, University of California, Irvine. A former classroom teacher in San Francisco, Kim’s scholarship focuses on understanding language and literacy development and effective instruction for racially, ethnically, economically, and linguistically diverse children, and helping them build strong foundations to support their success in school and beyond. Her areas of research include reading comprehension, reading fluency, listening comprehension and oral language, dyslexia, higher-order cognitive skills, written composition, and reading–writing relations. She has worked extensively with monolingual children from various linguistic backgrounds (e.g., English, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Kiswahili) and multilingual children in the United States. Her research has been supported by the Institute of Education Sciences, the U.S. Department of Education, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and the National Science Foundation. She was a recipient of the 2012 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers by President Barack Obama.

    Kim is currently serving as editor-in-chief for Scientific Studies of Reading and chair of the Vocabulary Special Interest Group for the American Educational Research Association.
