I was only able to catch part of @DrSarahLupo's session at #LiteracyMatters, but I was delighted to see that she was speaking about the importance of knowledge-building curriculum!
Definitely gonna catch this recording.

Knowledge-building curriculum isn't just about a healthy dose of nonfiction!
There is SO much more to the intentional design.
I talked about this in my session, too. @DrSarahLupo went into greater detail.

We aren't just building new knowledge, we are thoughtful about activating prior knowledge...

Our brains ARE wired to pick up spoken language naturally. Humans have been speaking for 50,000+ yrs.
But we've only been writing for 5,000 yrs!
Written language is manmade... and needs to be taught.

.@carolyn_strom has been working on ways to explain the neuroscience of reading to families, without all of the scientific jargon, using a storytelling framework.
She has given more accessible names to the parts of brain doing the work of learning language & literacy.
