Description
Episode 143
This conversation remains one of our most downloaded episodes and for good reason.
As we focus this month on small-group instruction, we’re revisiting this important discussion with a team of authors who published the article Maximizing Small-Group Reading Instruction.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why small-group reading instruction has been so widely adopted
• What the research actually says about its effectiveness
• Common misconceptions about small-group time
• What makes small-group instruction purposeful and impactful
If you’re rethinking how small-group time fits within strong Tier 1 instruction, or wondering how to make those minutes count, this episode offers research-informed clarity.
