Ep.174 The How: Building Knowledge That Makes Readers Stronger (with Daniel Willingham) Hey, no BS besties. Decoding gets kids in the door, but it doesn't carry them through a text. Comprehension depends on what readers already know about the world, and that knowledge doesn't build itself. In this episode, I'm joined by Daniel Willingham, cognitive psychologist at the University of Virginia and author of The Reading Mind and Why Don't Students Like School? Last time we dug into the research behind why knowledge matters so much for reading. Today is all about the how: what building knowledge actually looks like in a real classroom, with real kids and real time limits. In this episode: Why strong decoders can still struggle to understand what they readHow background knowledge shapes comprehensionWhat knowledge building looks like in daily instructionHow to connect texts and topics so learning sticksWhere teachers can start tomorrow without overhauling everythingGo deeper: Willingham's article "Rediscovering Knowledge as the Key to Reading" in Education Next (2026): https://www.educationnext.org/rediscovering-knowledge-as-the-key-to-reading/ This episode is sponsored by Decodify.

Rediscovering Knowledge as the Key to Reading with Daniel Willingham: The Why Ep.173 Value For years, comprehension instruction leaned almost entirely on skills and strategies. Strategies have a place, but they can't do the heavy lifting alone. In this episode, I sit down with cognitive scientist Daniel Willingham to dig into the why behind "Rediscovering Knowledge as the Key to Reading," the Education Next article he wrote with E. D. Hirsch Jr. We talk about why kids can decode every word and still not understand a text, why writers leave information out on purpose, and why background knowledge is what fills those gaps. You'll learn where strategies fit, why "they can just look it up" doesn't hold up, and how a knowledge-rich curriculum strengthens learning in every subject, especially for students with the fewest chances to build knowledge outside of school. Promise By the end of this episode, you'll see how knowledge and strategies work together, and why knowledge has to lead. You'll know exactly how to explain this to your colleagues, your principal, and your families, backed by what the research actually says. You'll look at your curriculum, your text sets, and your lessons with sharper eyes and know what to keep, what to question, and what to build. No fluff. No BS. Just clarity you can use right away.

Ep.172 Value Spelling often gets squeezed out of the literacy block, treated as a Friday list test or handed off to spell-check. In this episode, I'm joined by Sean Morrisey, fifth grade teacher, former school psychologist, and creator of The Word Mapping Project, to break down Timothy Shanahan's article on the essential fundamentals of spelling instruction. The article pulls together advice from five leading word experts: Donald Bear, Peter Bowers, Richard Gentry, Steve Graham, and Louisa Moats. Research is clear that explicit spelling instruction improves spelling, reading, and writing. Sean and I dig into what that instruction should actually look like: teaching the patterns and principles behind the words, the complexity of English spelling, the connection between spelling and meaning, and how spelling fits into daily word study and writing. Promise By the end of this episode, you will know what to look for in a spelling program and what to change in your current practice. You will walk away understanding why memorizing weekly word lists falls short, how to build a stronger word list that teaches a real principle (including exceptions), how to connect spelling to phonics, morphology, vocabulary, and student writing, and how to keep spelling engaging without losing rigor. Whether you are a classroom teacher, coach, or school leader choosing curriculum, you will have clear, research-based guidance you can use right away.

In this episode, Sean Morrisey and I break down Timothy Shanahan’s Essential Fundamentals of Spelling Instruction and, more importantly, talk about the WHY behind effective spelling instruction.

Ep.167-What Actually Works In Schools The Literacy View live from researchED. VALUE: In this episode with Jim Heal, we call out the truth most schools avoid.

This is where research meets reality and where a lot of what schools are doing gets exposed for what it is. PROMISE: You will leave knowing exactly what to stop doing, what is worth doubling down on, and how to make your instruction actually stick. No more guessing. No more wasted time.
