Unlocking the Joy of Comprehension in Early LiteracyIn this inspiring episode, literacy expert Diane Snowball delves into the transformative power of teaching comprehension in the foundational years (F-2). She underscores that comprehension is not just about understanding words but unlocking meaning, purpose, and the joy of reading. Diane shares practical strategies for educators and parents to nurture confident, thoughtful readers who engage deeply with texts.Diane begins by celebrating the enduring value of reading aloud, even as children become independent readers. She emphasises its role in modelling comprehension strategies like questioning, predicting, and visualising, and turning shared reading sessions into opportunities for rich discussion and wonder. Parents, she notes, can keep reading enjoyable and purposeful by focusing on open-ended questions such as, “What are you picturing as I read?”Choosing the right books is another cornerstone. Diane encourages educators and families to explore curated recommendations from trusted sources like Trevor Cairney's blog and specialist bookstores. A mix of engaging fiction and nonfiction builds diverse comprehension skills and exposes children to text features like headings and diagrams.In classrooms, Diane highlights the importance of integrating comprehension strategies naturally rather than teaching them in isolation. From inferring character motives in I Want My Hat Back to using nonfiction visuals for deeper understanding, the strategies come alive when applied authentically. She also champions teaching text structures, such as recognising the sequence in a recipe or the narrative arc in a story, to build confidence in approaching varied texts.Diane concludes with a call to action for educators, families, and policymakers to prioritise access to quality books and teacher training. By working together, we can ensure every child discovers the magic and power of reading.Takeaway for Teachers: Embrace comprehension as a joyful, meaningful practice.

In Part 2: The Importance of Teaching Comprehension in F–2, Diane Snowball captivates listeners with her invaluable insights on teaching comprehension to Foundation through Year 2 students in Part 2 of this illuminating podcast series. Her wisdom bridges the gap between theory and practice, empowering educators to weave decoding and comprehension seamlessly into their teaching.The Role of Shared ReadingDiane paints a vivid picture of shared reading (together, all eyes on enlarged text)as a powerful tool for nurturing young readers. She delves into teaching cohesive ties—those linguistic threads that connect ideas in texts—and offers practical strategies, like revisiting pronouns to establish meaning. Through examples such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar, she demonstrates how teachers can encourage students to actively engage with texts and illustrations, fostering critical thinking from the very first page.Inferring: Unlocking Meaning Beyond WordsThrough her discussion of Rosie's Walk and Saturday Mornings, Diane underscores the importance of inference. She highlights how teachers can guide students to combine textual and visual clues, transforming them into confident meaning-makers. These skills, she asserts, are just as crucial for nonfiction as they are for narrative texts.Integrating Decoding and ComprehensionDiane champions a holistic approach where decoding and comprehension grow in tandem. Shared reading becomes the conduit, combining phonics, vocabulary, and sentence structure with comprehension strategies in authentic contexts. This integrated method enhances literacy and maintains the joy of reading.A Focus on Quality TextsDiane emphasises selecting rich, multifaceted texts that offer opportunities for repeated readings. She encourages teachers to harness the power of these texts for decoding, writing, and comprehension instruction, simplifying planning while maximising learning.A Lifelong Literacy FoundationBy embracing Diane's practical, intentional methods, educators can set their youngest learners on a path to literacy success. With cohesive teaching strategies, meaningful texts, and a love of learning, the foundation for lifelong readers is built.READ THE BLOG HERERESOURCESDuke, Nell K., Ward, Alessandra, E. and Pearson, P.

In the latest episode of “The Importance of Teaching Comprehension in F-2 – A Conversation with Diane Snowball,” literacy expert Diane Snowball sits down with Phil to explore why comprehension should be the heartbeat of early literacy, especially in an era dominated by phonics and decoding. Diane passionately explains that teaching comprehension is not something to reserve for later; instead, it should be woven into reading instruction from the very first day a child encounters a book.Diane discusses how comprehension isn't just about words—it's about engaging young minds in the "who, what, where, and why" of stories, even when they're just listening. Through read-alouds, children not only hear the words but also experience the deeper mechanics of storytelling. Diane emphasises that read-alouds, like in her example of sharing “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” invite children to explore concepts of character, setting, and make-believe in an accessible way, building a foundation for thoughtful reading as they progress.As they chat, Diane explains the importance of choosing texts with coherent structures and rich language, helping children develop an ear for narrative flow and language patterns that support comprehension. She talks about the role of varied sentence structures, how listening comprehension aids independent reading, and the vital role that illustrations play in helping young readers visualise and make sense of stories.Diane's insights remind us that comprehension is far from a passive skill. It's a dynamic process involving curiosity, connection-making, and critical thinking. With her strategies and thoughtful approach, Diane empowers educators to prioritise comprehension, guiding children to become not just readers, but engaged, thoughtful participants in the world of stories.

Anyone who met Ms. Anna Young would likely tell you the same thing. The 75 year old woman would be describe by many as a god-fearing Christian. Who could miss it by the adorned minivan with Jesus stickers and plate cover on the bumper. However, some would find it hard to be within her presence for more than a few minutes before the tightness in their chest, sweaty palms, and blood pumping became to much to bare. Why you may ask? Well before she was the elderly Anna Young, she went by Mother Anna. And if you ask me and the children who were in her care she was the devil in the flesh. Join us this week at the table where we discuss Mother Anna and the House of Prayer for all People. https://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta-news/cobb-woman-who-led-religious-cult-gets-30-years-for-child-deaths/6RUFJ7IA5FCPRPCL3WSY4UC5SM/ https://specials.myajc.com/mother-anna/ https://www.gainesville.com/story/news/crime/2021/02/17/house-prayer-leader-gets-30-year-term-toddlers-death-micanopy-cult-leader/6784385002/ https://www.wcjb.com/2021/04/01/justice-was-served-investigator-in-the-anna-young-case-discusses-death-of-former-cult-leader/?outputType=amp https://www.jacksonville.com/story/news/nation-world/2017/12/04/we-think-there-are-many-many-more-florida-cult-leader-charged-murder/16286912007/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

June 19th marks the 156th anniversary of Black emancipation in America. Here in Connecticut there are events around the state to mark Juneteenth - and our state is often seen as being a northern utopia for Black Americans but by the American Revolution, Connecticut had the largest number of slaves of all the New England states. In fact, slavery in Connecticut did not officially end until 1848 - the last state in New England to do so. This week, Disrupted is looking back at how Black Americans have helped shape Connecticut History. Disrupted is produced by Catie Talarski, James Szkobel-Wolff, Anna Elizabeth and Zshekinah Collier.

Earlier this year, workers at an Amazon facility in Alabama made national news when they announced their intentions to unionize. While the union vote failed, the news is part of a renewed effort to raise working standards across the country. Despite the traditional picture of the white male union worker, today unions are more diverse than ever before. Black Americans are more likely to be members of a union than any other ethic group. This hour on Disrupted, we speak to the chief economist for the labor department about black employment in America. We also talk with a researcher on the history and future of unions. And finally, we hear about long term health care workers in Connecticut fighting for better wages. Disrupted is produced by Catie Talarski, James Szkobel-Wolff, Anna Elizabeth and Zshekinah Collier.

Why being an employee of Chevy right now really seems like it would suck, some coal rollers set up a blockade in front of a Tesla charging station because what else would a coal roller do for fun, and why isn't there a national manhunt for the "man driving a black Ford F-150 in Montana" who's going around shooting at people he thinks look like bigfoot?

Marisa, Jack & Davy breathe life into lesser known traditional folk songs. They all sing, play guitar and percussion. Their 3 part harmonies and arrangements are inventive and original, occasionally channelling the Young Tradition. They cite Peter Bellamy and Nic Jones as key influences and feature two of Bellamy's songs in this set. Since 2015 Marisa, Jack & Davy have run occasional acoustic folk nights and promoted concerts in and around Bedford under the name Mill Race Folk. They have featured such artists as Martin Carthy, John Kirkpatrick, Anna & Elizabeth, Stick in The Wheel. Mill Race Folk look for venues that reflect the history and aesthetics of the local area. Shows have been held in the 18th century Bromham watermill, the John Bunyan Museum, the John Bunyan Community Boat and the 15th century timber-framed Elstow Moot Hall. Jack Sharp is also singer/songwriter/guitarist with popular psych folk/rock band Wolf People.

Anna & Elizabeth give new life to the songs that have been forgotten. They sing American folk music written 100 or even 400 years ago and do it in their own beautifully authentic way. They visited Lithuania on their very first tour to mainland Europe. We asked Anna & Elizabeth: what is it about music that for thousands of years humans are still singing? // Support NYLA: http://patreon.com/NanookMultimedia
Disagreeing is hard. Disagreeing about politics is especially hard. But if you really believe in reaching across the aisle, or the dinner table for that matter, the best course of action remains... talking. It's an odd day when I'm making the case for talking to people. It's a case worth making.

Anna Roberts-Gevalt and Elizabeth LaPrelle sound like they could have been recorded by John Lomax in the Appalachian hills during the '30s. Their harmonies have a heartfelt honesty born from their love and appreciation of the stories in the songs they sing, as well as the history of the people that wrote them decades ago - passing the tunes down from generation to generation in the true definition of folk music. Along with their instruments, the pair also illustrate the stories with "crankies," a hand-cranked pictorial crafted from fabric, yarn and other colorful elements. Anna & Elizabeth were recorded for Folk Alley by Beehive Productions in Saranac Lake, New York. Anna & Elizabeth began thanks to a broke down car. Elizabeth's. In town to see a concert, she ended up spending the night with Anna, but the two didn't get much sleep. They shared songs and harmonized; they talked about a shared desire to inspire people with the beautiful soul of Appalachian roots music. And then came Anna's crankies: cloth and cut-paper scrolls depicting scenes from ballads. A friendship was formed. The possibilities were seen. A unique sound was created: Elizabeth with her powerful, breath-taking voice; Anna with her sweet harmonies and mesmerizing instrumentals on fiddle, banjo and guitar. The duo started making crankies and shadow puppets together, works of art that have been heralded in folk festivals from Seattle to Chicago, from deep in the mountains of Kentucky to Uzbekistan. The pair is reviving a lost art.
