Students don’t become stronger readers because they never get confused. They become stronger because they know what to do when meaning breaks down. That’s the heart of my newest #ShortReads on clarifying and comprehension. 📚 #Literacy #Reading #EduSky #Teaching #ELA

Reading is not a checklist. 🚩 Too often, we treat comprehension strategies (main idea, inference, etc.) as isolated tasks. Students fill the boxes, but the meaning doesn't "stick." When reading becomes a routine, it becomes compliance. 🧵 (1/3)

When reading has no purpose it becomes compliance. Students complete tasks but miss meaning. The shift is not more strategies it is better questions. Give students something to pursue not just complete👇🏾 open.substack.com/pub/kharyfle... #EduSky #Literacy #ReadingInstruction #EdChat #TeacherCommunity
