Recording of Natalie Wexler: How Writing Instruction Can Revolutionize Education Webinar
Presenter: Natalie Wexler Description: Writing is one of the most powerful tools we have to deepen knowledge, strengthen reading comprehension, and build analytical thinking while helping all students access grade-level content. At the same time, it remains the most demanding task we ask students to master. To unlock the power of writing instruction, we need to: (1) Make writing less overwhelming by starting at the sentence level if that’s what students need (2) Teach grammar and writing conventions in the context of students’ own writing (3) Embed writing activities in the content of the core curriculum, in any subject and at any grade level. This presentation will provide examples of effective activities that you can use right away with your students. Presenter Bio: Natalie Wexler is a leading voice in the science of reading, literacy instruction, and education reform. She is the author of The Knowledge Gap and Beyond the Science of Reading, and co-author (with Judith C. Hochman) of The Writing Revolution, a widely used guide to improving writing and critical thinking across subjects. Her work bridges research and classroom practice, helping schools align literacy instruction with the science of learning and build the background knowledge essential for strong reading comprehension. Educators across the country rely on her expertise for curriculum planning and professional development. Her writing has appeared in major national publications, and she hosts the podcast Reading Comprehension Revisited and the newsletter Minding the Gap.
