S3-02. Deconstructing the Rope: Word recognition with Alice Wiggins
Join Alice Wiggins, vice president of instructional design and products at UnboundEd, in the second episode of our Deconstructing the Rope series as she unwinds word recognition, a strand of Scarborough’s Reading Rope. Alice also highlights the importance of explicit phonics instruction and urges listeners to advocate for an aligned curriculum to bring forth a systematic approach to reading for all students.
Quotes:
“By explicitly teaching sound spellings, we’re strengthening students’ abilities to read so they can learn more.”
“For equity’s sake, we want to teach reading in a way that we cast the widest net possible and support the most students possible.”
