Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Writing Your Own Decodables with Brooke Vitale: Turning Research Into Engaging Stories
Q: What's one piece of encouragement or practical strategy or advice that you would give to teachers looking to write their own decodables?
It's important to model proper grammar in decodables and to use higher-level vocabulary as long as context is provided.
Morphology Made Easy: Building Word Power in K- 2 with Michelle and Sarah
Q: How does understanding prefixes, suffixes, and root words support a child's reading comprehension and vocabulary development?
Understanding these elements allows students to decode unfamiliar words, recognize patterns and meanings, expanding their vocabulary and enhancing comprehension effectively.

Q: What is morphology and how would you explain it to a parent or an early elementary teacher?
