In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by University of Oregon College of Education Professor and Ann Swindells Chair in Education Gina Biancarosa, Ed.D., to explore how best to assess for comprehension. Gina elaborates on her extensive work developing more precise and informative measurements of reading comprehension and discusses think-aloud research, demonstrating how to infer for coherence, and examining how students who are struggling with comprehension tend to rely too heavily on making inferences or paraphrasing.Show notes:Submit your questions on comprehension!Access free, high-quality resources at our brand new, companion professional learning page.

And so what we're really trying to do is get them to generalize these behaviors that they engage in outside of the task of reading, during reading." —Gina Biancarosa, Ed.D.Episode Timestamps:02:00 Introduction: Gina Biancarosa, Ed.D. and comprehension assessment08:00 How do we assess comprehension?14:00 Think-aloud research21:00 MOCCA (Multiple-Choice Online Causal Comprehension Assessment)24:00 Causal coherence30:00 Paraphrasers and elaborators33:00 Comprehension assessment research39:00 Professional development and comprehension assessment42:00 Closing thoughts*Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute
In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by Northwestern University Professor of Education, Social Policy, and Psychology David Rapp. David's research focuses on language and memory, and his conversation with Susan gives insight into how memory is connected to comprehension. The first half of the episode is spent defining comprehension as a process, a product, and a higher-order cognitive process. David then digs into how that definition informs the ways in which educators assess comprehension and where they can look for potential failure points. One of these failure points includes misinformation. David addresses what happens when misinformation is stored in long-term memory. He details the issues this can cause for student comprehension, and he gives guidance on how to prevent and correct them.Show notes:Submit your questions on comprehension!

What you can try to do is make other memories more powerful, more likely to resonate to things.” —David Rapp, Ph.D.“Sometimes our most effective processes actually lead us to misunderstand. For example, you're really good at encoding information to memory, that's great, except if you're exposed to inaccurate ideas, that's a problem.” —David Rapp, Ph.D.“It feels easy for us to comprehend texts if we're well practiced at it, it feels easy, but it's actually a lot of cognitive operations going on behind the scenes and a lot of years of practice.” —David Rapp, Ph.D.“In terms of being exposed to misinformation, we see even if people have been exposed to inaccurate ideas, even once, it's encoded into memory, it's potentially gonna be there to influence you.” —David Rapp, Ph.D.Episode Timestamps02:00 Introduction: Who is David Rapp?04:00 Defining reading comprehension05:00 Comprehension as a process vs a product08:00 Comprehension as a higher order cognitive process12:00 Coherence18:00 Memory activation and misinformation21:00 Consequences of misinformation25:00 Correcting misinformation28:00 Preventing misinformation36:00 The evolution of thinking on comprehension40:00 Current research45:00 Closing thoughts and encouragement to dig into research*Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute
In this episode of The Stellar Teacher Podcast, I'm diving into one of the most important and challenging comprehension skills we can teach our students—summarizing. If you've ever had students freeze when asked to write a summary or retell every single detail of a story, you're not alone. Summarizing requires students to synthesize, prioritize, and organize information while expressing it in their own words. It's a higher-level skill that takes time to develop, but it's also one of the most powerful ways to boost reading comprehension.I'll walk you through three simple and effective summarizing frames you can introduce in your classroom this week. We'll look at how the Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then (SWBST) frame helps students capture the plot of a fiction text, how the TAMKO frame guides nonfiction summaries, and why the 10-Word Summary is a flexible, engaging way to help students identify what matters most. Each of these frames provides the structure students need to confidently summarize without getting overwhelmed—and over time, they'll learn to do it independently.If your students struggle to write clear, concise summaries, this episode is for you. You'll learn how to model and scaffold each of these frames so students can see what an effective summary looks like. Plus, I share tips for deciding which frame to use, how to help students transition beyond them, and ways to make summarizing an engaging, low-stress part of your literacy routine.Join us in the Stellar Literacy Collective Membership: stellarteacher.com/join!Sign up for my FREE private podcast, the Confident Writer Systems Series, here!Sign up for my FREE Revision Made Easy email series here!Follow me on Instagram @thestellarteachercompany.

Technology is evolving faster than our understanding of it. In this episode, Shekeese and I dive into the creative and ethical tensions shaping today's digital world. We examine how nonprofits, designers, and educators wrestle with AI-generated art versus original creativity, revealing why comprehension matters more than speed. Drawing parallels between AI mastery and martial-arts discipline, we argue that foundational knowledge must precede innovation. We contrast hustle-culture pressures, echoed by voices like Gary V., with the virtue of deliberate practice and media literacy. From rebranding challenges to copyright debates around music, NFTs, and AI, we explore ownership, authenticity, and regulation in a world where creativity and technology collide. This is a deep look at mastery, understanding, and responsible progress in the digital age.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:00) - Tech, Language, and Miscommunication(0:04:04) - AI Comprehension Over Utility(0:09:06) - AI in Media Literacy(0:17:36) - The Lost Art of Learning(0:28:49) - AI, Music, and Copyright Law(0:36:34) - Importance of Regulation in SocietySend us a text

In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by Doug Lemov, former teacher and school principal, to discuss how teachers can identify when disfluency is actually the root cause for students' struggles with comprehension—and what they can do about it. Using his new book, The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading, to guide the discussion, Susan and Doug address building attention stamina, the argument for reading whole books, and the value of expressive read-alouds. Finally, Doug ends the episode asserting that humans are meant to live in community, and that a deeper level of comprehension is unlocked through deep empathic connection to text and the experience of reading with others.Show notes: Listen to Season 2 of the Beyond My Years podcast for solutions to common teaching challenges directly from seasoned educators.Connect with Doug Lemov:X: @Doug_Lemov Resources:Read: The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of ReadingWatch: Gabby Woolf's Dr. Jekyll Lesson and the Power of Reading FluencyListen: ”Phonology as a settled science”Listen: ”The plea to preserve deep reading, with Maryanne Wolf, Ed.D.”Listen: ”Writing the way to better reading, with Judith Hochman, Ed.D.”Listen: ”The joy of reading aloud, with Molly Ness”Download: cComprehension 101 BundleSubmit your questions on comprehension!

How does code, like language, shape the way we see the world? How can we rediscover enchantment in our technology?? How can we determine the half-life of knowledge as we continue to learn and discover new things?Samuel Arbesman is a scientist in residence at Lux Capital, a fellow at Case Western School of Management, and the author of three books, The Magic of Code: How Digital Language Created and Connects Our World—and Shapes Our Future, Overcomplicated: Technology at the Limits of Comprehension, and The Half-Life of Facts: Why Everything We Know Has an Expiration Date.Greg and Samuel discuss Samuel's newest book, The Magic of Code, and how programming languages have evolved and continue to evolve over time. Samuel explores society's enchantment and disenchantment with technology, the evolution of programming languages, the intersection of computer science and humanities, and the ongoing shift towards more democratized software creation. They also go over Samuel's earlier works, highlighting the temporary nature of facts and the continual necessity for adaptive learning in a rapidly evolving world.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Reenchanting technology through humanities 03:24: I think the larger perspective of the book [The Magic of Code] is to also recognize that, in addition to this wonder and delight, also recognizing that when we think about computing competition, it doesn't need to just be this branch of engineering or this thing of computer science. It really is this almost humanistic liberal art that, when you think about it properly, should connect to language and philosophy and biology and art and how we think and the nature of reality and all these different kinds of things. And for me, those are the windows and the lenses that allow us to actually kind of re-enchant, not even just computing, but in turn many aspects of our own lives, and hopefully can repair at least a little bit of that kind of broken relationship.On the magic of code06:31: We actually have this weird information stuff that can actually work in the real world. That's amazing. And we should pause at least and say, wow, that really is incredible.Why democratizing software is powerful26:56: This idea of being able to democratize software creation is incredibly powerful. And actually, in going back to the analogy with magic, I mean, yes, in many of the tales of magic, it did require a great deal of effort. You had to apprentice, or you had to, I don't know, go to Hogwarts for seven years or whatever it is. But there also were stories of magic for everyone; there were spells that could be used by people if they, like in the Middle Ages, had lost their cattle and needed to recover it. And I think we need that same kind of thing in the software realm as well, which is, we need spells and code that can be used by everyone. And now, with this ability, it's unbelievable to see.Ideas are always in draft form53:41: A professor of mine, when I was in graduate school, told me this story. This was already after I had left grad school. He was telling me this story that he was teaching some course, came in on Tuesday, and gave a lecture on some topic. Then, the next day, he read a paper that invalidated the lecture he had given the day before. So he went in on Thursday and said, “Remember what I taught you on Tuesday? It's wrong. And if that bothers you, you need to get out of science.” And I think that kind of idea—that science, or what we know, is constantly in draft form—is a very powerful idea.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Max WeberDuneiPhone (1st generation)ChatGPTH.

Read the full transcript here. What does it mean to treat facts as drafts rather than monuments? If truth is something we approach, how do we act while it's still provisional? When definitions shift, what really changes? How do better instruments quietly rewrite the world we think we know? Are we mostly refining truths or replacing them? When do scientific metaphors clarify and when do they mislead? What public stories make self-correction legible and trusted? What features make science self-correct rather than self-congratulatory? How should we reward replication, repair, and tool-building? Do we need more generalists - or better bridges between tribes? How does measurement expand the very questions we can ask? Is progress a goal-seeking march or a search for interesting stepping stones? Should we teach computing as a liberal art to widen its aims? Will AI turn software into a home-cooked meal for everyone? How do we design tools that increase wonder, not just efficiency? Samuel Arbesman is Scientist in Residence at Lux Capital.

This week's episode is all about Reading. We will go through the entire process from the moment light hits the retina (50-100ms) to formulating speech (600ms or so). That is, either speaking out loud or silently speaking while reading, a phenomena called subvocalization. We do this when reading to the self. Either way, we speak while reading.We will compare so called normal readers, the Autistic phenotype, and dyslexia, and at times the odd contrasts of the Autistic phenotype AND dyslexia. Lots of neurobiology, measurement instruments, brain waves (oscillations, frequencies), however, I will hopefully provide easy to understand analogies.The entire reading process is covered.Daylight Computer Companyuse "autism" for $50 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devicesuse "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autismCognity AI for Autistic Social Skillsuse "autism" for 10% discount athttps://thecognity.com00:00 - Overview of reading process and neurobiology03:28 - Visual processing in V1 (primary visual cortex), V2-V4 (secondary visual cortex)4:42 - Neuroplasticity of Blind using V1-V4 for Braille07:17 - Neural oscillations (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma)10:07 - Visual word form area (VWFA) recognizes patterns, begins sequencing letters & recognizes the word, Example: "d-o-g" & 'd' not 'b', 'o' not 'c,' 'g' not 'p.'13:01 - Phonological processing in temporal-parietal cortex15:54 - Fractional anisotropy (FA) & Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and arcuate fasciculus; Myelination, Water Flow, Garden Hose example18:06 - Detailed discussion of orthographic processing begins (VWFA's role in recognizing visual word forms)21:26 - Detailed discussion of cerebellum's role in eye movements begins (Purkinje cells and saccades)24:07 - Detailed discussion of spelling difficulties begins (orthographic processing challenges in autism/dyslexia)27:41 - Detailed discussion of semantic integration begins (delays in dyslexia, inferior frontal gyrus)30:55 - Detailed discussion of orthographic confusion begins (e.g., "except" vs. "expert")33:30 - Detailed discussion of phonological processing begins (temporal-parietal cortex mapping words to sounds)34:18 - Cerebellum mentioned regarding tongue movements (Purkinje cells refine timing for speech)36:10 - Subvocalization in silent reading37:07 - Oscillations in VWFA for autistic phenotype; Comprehension lags in Autism due to delayed N40039:19 Daylight Computer Company (and Daylight Kids !), use "autism" for $50 discount41:40 Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount44:52 Reviews/Ratings, Contact InfoX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Some obsessions look ordinary from the outside. But inside? They're ritual, tether, even sacrament.I've watched creatives, dreamers, physicists, singers, and everyday workers treat dried mangoes not as snacks but as sacred companions...a kind of chewable sunlight that holds them steady between chaos and infinity. For some, it was survival. For others, rebellion. For one physicist, it was the only thing that kept him human while his mind touched the divine.This isn't really about mangoes. It's about hunger, ritual, devotion, and the strange ways people anchor themselves to meaning. Sometimes fascination doesn't need comprehension. Sometimes mystery is enough.If you like reading or want to reach out, there's a kind of blog on www.idiotmystic.com.

Even alien observers might reach a point where they give up. original text: THE WATCHERS By ROGER DEE It had taken him ten years to find them—to even convince himself that they existed. Now Manson was ready to kill! [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from Planet Stories September 1951. Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.] He left his gyro on the dark lawn and circled the villa, carefully avoiding the wash of light from open windows. The blast gun lay snug and cold in his hand, and his thought ran bleakly: Here am I, Peter Manson, pacifist, idealist, reformer, preacher in print of tolerance and amity—about to kidnap a man whom I shall almost certainly kill before morning. Tomorrow the telecast would list his madness with other insanities: sex murders, suicides, political drumbeatings for the coming holocaust of the inevitable Fourth War.... War. "They're going too far," he said, half aloud. "Their routine meddlings were bad enough, but another war now might mean the end of everything." He found the alien who called himself Leonard Havlik in a bright, book-lined study, packing a miscellany of papers into a brief case that bore his name in gold lettering. A secretary was helping, a slim girl with crisp, copper-colored hair and clear green eyes. Manson waited, tense with unaccustomed strain. Somewhere a bird trilled sleepily, and the night-wind, fragrant with the smell of trampled clover, blew cool against his damp face. Irrelevantly, the scene inside reminded him of his own quiet study where he had labored for ten years over the scant gleanings of his search. In that time he had written four books, fighting with a reformer's apostolic zeal to open the eyes of men to their own possibilities, and he had failed. He had not awakened his kind, but he had found the Watchers. The failure was not his fault. It was Theirs.... The girl left the room. Manson straightened at his window, bringing up the blast gun. "Come out, Havlik," he ordered. "Quickly, or I'll blow you to dust where you stand—Watcher!" His quarry looked up, startled—a small, dark man with a thin, tired face and sparse gray hair, a perfect replica of the million ordinary businessmen his camouflage of humanity aped. Manson snicked off the safety catch of his weapon, and Havlik came through the window quickly, without protest. Manson prodded him into the gyro and manacled his wrists together. "We Earthmen have a time-tested proverb," Manson said, "to the effect that you can't fool all the people all the time. I've spent ten years searching for you, Havlik—and here I am." He set the autopilot for his cabin on Green River, holding his blast gun warily, and sent the gyro slanting upward into the night. Havlik smiled faintly, dark eyes gleaming in the light of the instrument panel. "Laugh while you can," Manson said grimly. "I've learned something of you Watchers already. I'll know more by morning." "Force was unnecessary," Havlik said unexpectedly. "I would have given you information willingly, since our mission here is ended. The Kha Niish, who are our masters, have ordered us to leave Earth. Tonight." Manson stared, the alien's assurance fanning his anger. "You're lying—you Watchers have mingled with us for centuries, using our own ignorance to set us against each other. You've kept us in perpetual confusion, deafening us with our own bickering while you tightened your hold on us. Now you're fomenting a Fourth War that may wipe us out completely, to save yourselves the trouble of liquidating us directly. You'd never go now, with success almost in your hands." "Perhaps you mistake our intention," Havlik said. "How do you know you're right?" "Because men of themselves would not do the brutal, idiotic things that fill the telecasts every day," Manson said. "We are a gregarious people, craving affection—why should we lie and steal and murder each other by the millions? Man is a rational animal, yet he does not behave in a rational manner. By simple induction, the basic cause of his social idiocy stems from outside himself. Someone, or Something, is setting us against each other. I suspected as much ten years ago, and tonight I have proved it." Havlik shrugged. "You've wasted your time. We leave Earth tonight." Manson laughed shortly. "You're not going anywhere, my friend. I need you for information." "What else would you know? Our reason for quitting Earth?" "You're not leaving at all," Manson said, nettled. "You may have planned a routine jump to your base on Pluto, but you're not giving up a juicy plum like Earth. Not after all these years!" He peered through the gyro's side glass searching for the white peak of Green Mountain to check his position. The skyglow of Denver shimmered in the east, but the peak was lost in darkness. "You misunderstand our motive," the alien said. "But you're quite right about our base on Pluto. Induction again?" "On a different level, yes," Manson said. "Pluto is a solar anomaly—a small, heavy planet where there should be nothing but a larger and lighter world. Pluto was never born to Sol—it's an alien planet, brought in from Outside by you Watchers." A red light winked on the control panel, and the gyro swerved fractionally. A fiery streak of crimson rocket exhaust flared ahead and vanished, explaining the deviation. "Seattle-Miami express," Manson muttered. Then the unnatural angle of the exhaust-trail registered, troubling him. "But it shouldn't cross my course—and it should be going up, not down!" "Your crusade is based on a false premise," Havlik said. "We came to Earth less than fifty years ago, not to destroy humanity but to guide it. The Kha Niish sent us as missionaries, to sow the seed of Their benign culture among men as we have sowed it among a thousand other infant races born into Their galaxy." The gyro tilted, spiraling down for a landing. A farmhouse, lighted windows cheerful against the dark countryside, rose to meet it. Beside the house, standing on end like a giant cartridge case, Manson saw a sleek, shining bulk—a ship. He raised incredulous eyes to meet the alien's dark stare. Comprehension stunned him. "You fiend," he breathed. "You've tricked me somehow—you've played cat-and-mouse with me from the first!" He remembered the gun in his hand and swung it up. "Let your weapon drop," Havlik said. "You set the autopilot at my direction. This is our evacuation point." The gun slid from Manson's fingers. He tried to retrieve it from the floor and cried out, startled, when his body refused to obey. The alien removed his manacles. "You will be free again as soon as we lift." "Lies," Manson grated. He fought to break the stasis that held him, veins knotting in his forehead with the effort. "I might have known!" The gyro landed gently, a hundred yards from the cylinder. Figures swarmed about the great ship, pouring up a wide ramp in orderly embarkation. The girl Manson had seen at the villa came running toward the gyro, copper hair blowing in the night-wind. "You were almost late," she called to Havlik. "We're ready to—" She caught sight of the Earthman and broke off. In the dark depth of her eyes Manson saw understanding and a great pity, and for the first time it came to him that Havlik had not lied. Aliens they might be, but not destroyers—in this girl burned the same ideals, the same transcendent zeal that drove him. She was as human, basically, as he. The same will to raise up the helpless is in us both, he thought. The compulsion to carry the saving light of reason to those in darkness.... "Wait," he begged. "Your master wouldn't have ordered you away if Earth needed you—and if men can work out their own salvation, then they don't need me, either! Take me with you out there—let me help you, let me see the Outside galaxy of the Kha Niish for myself!" He spoke to Havlik, but his eyes clung to the girl as to a magnet. She met his gaze fully, the compassion in her own eyes deeper than grief. Havlik shook his head. "Your sanity would not bear the presence of the Kha Niish, nor of the other races Outside. You are drawn to this girl as to another of your own kind—but do you suppose that the Kha Niish would shape her in Their image? She is like the rest of us, an android creature, refashioned by the Masters to suit the environment of each new world we visit." The last of the swarming figures vanished into the great cylinder. A muted gong-sound thrummed through the night. A voice called, urgently. "The Kha Niish did not order us away because men are solving their own problems," the alien said. "We leave you to destroy yourselves, as you will, because man is one of the rare failures of the Galactic Urge. You are a race of incorrigibles." Later Manson sat woodenly in his gyro, waiting for volition to return, the scent of scorched earth and ozone and trampled clover strong in his nostrils. We Earthmen have another inerrant old saw, he thought bitterly. An excruciatingly funny one dealing with silk purses and sows' ears.... For a long time he sat quietly, straining his eyes to follow the last faint rocket-streak that arced upward against the stars. Then the stasis that held him fell away, and he reached for the blast gun that lay under his feet.

By Chuck Smith - Are we ashamed of the testimony of our Lord? When Paul tried to explain his interaction with Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus, the people thought he was crazy.
Sam Arbesman, complexity scientist, author of "The Magic of Code," and scientist in residence at Lux Capital, joins me for a wide-ranging exploration of how we navigate an increasingly complex world that often exceeds human comprehension. We dive into the oral traditions that preserve crucial scientific knowledge, why cognitive diversity trumps demographic diversity, the forgotten innovations hiding in technological history, and Sam's vision for "Maxis 2.0". This conversation had everything—from science fiction's cultural impact to the philosophy of intellectual humility. Sam and I discovered we're remarkably simpatico on how to think about complex systems, the importance of historical context, and why saying "I don't know" is the foundation of genuine learning. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Send us a textPlanning for acquisition isn't about perfection—it's about intention. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Diane Neubauer and Dr. Reed Riggs for one of the most meaningful conversations I've ever had about lesson planning in the world language classroom.We explore what it means to plan with purpose—centering curiosity, communication, and student connection instead of rigid structures or vocabulary lists.✨ Key takeaways:Why essential questions can guide your unit better than word banksHow to stay flexible with language goals (because students don't always know what we think they know)The power of interpretive communication—why listening and reading matter just as much (or more!) than speakingHow routines and student responses can lead the wayWhy language is the vehicle, not the destinationWhether you're new to acquisition-driven instruction or looking to refine your approach, this episode will inspire and ground your planning process.

The Father's grace provides us with complete forgiveness, thorough righteousness, and incomparable riches. The same God of grace has a purposeful plan for each of our lives. His plans may not move at the speed of light; nevertheless, they are in motion. However, there are times when His plans do move at the speed of light. Just ask the woman who had the issue of blood. She had spent twelve years attempting to find relief from anemia, fatigue, fragility, dizziness, and a weakened immune system. Like sand through an hourglass, so were the days of her life. But when she touched Jesus, the light of the world, faster than 186,282 miles per second, did God's creative abilities, infinite resources, and vast wisdom pour forth. Was God applying the principles of triage to the multitude of sick people who thronged Jesus? No, He can work on everyone at the same time; His resources do not need rationing. However, Jesus was especially moved by the woman's faith; therefore, the grace that surpasses comprehension poured forth. Likewise, Ruth's grace manifested through her faith in Israel's God.

On this episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast, Carrie Liken (now with Snowflake) returns to the show to discuss the exceptionally rapidly evolving search landscape and Google's new AI Mode. Are websites dying as AI-powered search ascends in popularity? According to Carrie, it looks that way. She and host Justin Venneri discuss the transformative impact of AI on healthcare search and patient journeys. They explore how tools like Google's new AI Mode and ChatGPT are reshaping how consumers find healthcare information, reducing reliance on traditional websites. Carrie shares insights from her "mini research studies," highlighting the challenges and decisions healthcare organizations face in adapting to the new world.Highlights include:The Decline of Traditional Websites: AI Mode summarizes information directly on search results, reducing the need for users to visit websites and challenging healthcare organizations to rethink their content strategies.The Importance of Data Strategy: Carrie emphasizes that a robust data strategy is essential for organizations to succeed in an AI-driven world.The Role of AI in Patient Journeys: AI tools can guide patients through initial research and even help locate care providers, though booking appointments still requires human interaction.The Future of AI Agents in Healthcare: Carrie envisions AI agents automating tasks such as appointment scheduling and care coordination to significantly reduce friction in the healthcare system.Related Content & Reference MaterialsMaybe we should write an obituary for the website (3/20/25)AI Mode is the training ground for AI Overviews (and yes, websites are still dying) (6/7/25)AH070 - Inside Capital Rx's Acquisition of Amino Health: Creating the Health Benefits Platform of the Future, TodayFor more information about Capital Rx and this episode, please visit Capital Rx Insights.

All we're doing here is building a foundation, understanding that comprehension isn't a skill, it's complex.” —Susan Lambert“ For the most part, if we're paying attention, if we can read words efficiently and know what they mean and have background knowledge, it yields comprehension.” —Sharon Vaughn“ Some people say that the purpose of reading is comprehension. It's not the purpose of reading. The purpose of reading is whatever you're comprehending for.” —Hugh Catts “[There's] a strong literature base that tells us that one of the differences between poor readers and strong readers is their ability to notice when there are inconsistencies in the text, and have strategies that they can employ to resolve those inconsistencies.” —Reid SmithEpisode Timestamps*01:00 What are “Science of Reading: Essentials” episodes02:00 Introduction to comprehension05:00 Defining comprehension07:00 Reading comprehension as an outcome09:00 The purpose of reading with Hugh Catts11:00 Comprehension vs foundational reading skills17:00 The importance of text and asking the right questions with Sharon Vaughn20:00 Discussion on leveled reading26:00 Background knowledge with Reid Smith28:00 Long term memory and knowledge recall31:00 Final thoughts, tips, & encouragement34:00 Key takeaways from Susan36:00 Season 10 preview39:00 Coming up next: Tim Shanahan*Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute

In this short podcast episode, Bryan talks about learning styles and gives some tips for "learning better" and getting more out of continuing education opportunities. The first step to getting more out of educational opportunities is to know your learning style. There are three main styles: visual, kinesthetic (hands-on), and auditory. Most tradespeople will probably fall into the kinesthetic category, but not everybody is; you need to figure out if you're most comfortable working with your hands, listening to podcasts, watching videos, or reading. It's also a good idea to try the practical knowledge first and then study the theory. Most people can learn via all of these media, though, and preferences in learning styles aren't excuses not to seek knowledge via the other pathways. Some people also do better with different instructional styles. Instructors can be more or less structured and outgoing, and you may have a preference. Find instructors who explain concepts and conduct their classes or seminars in ways that you understand best. Teaching is also a great way to get a better understanding of a concept, as is incorporating hands-on opportunities and quizzes when you read, watch videos, or listen to podcasts. When you can teach and be taught in non-judgmental environments, you can get a lot more out of the learning experience. Comprehension comes before retention, so memorization is usually not going to be too helpful for HVAC education. Understanding should be the main focus, not memorizing facts or test answers, and that includes challenging your assumptions and finding hard problems to solve. You can also discover HVAC/R concepts in unexpected places, including scientific or lifestyle YouTube channels and podcasts. Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert welcomes back researcher and author Daniel Willingham, Ph.D., to discuss reading comprehension. With only so much instruction time in the day and research supporting both comprehension strategies and knowledge building, it can be tough to know what to prioritize in the classroom. Daniel holds nothing back in outlining exactly where educators should focus their time. Together, he and Susan explore the limitations of comprehension strategies, the place for critical thinking skills in relationship to knowledge, and recognizing when messaging around knowledge has gone too far.Show notes:Access free, high-quality resources at our brand new companion professional learning page: http://amplify.com/science-of-reading/professional-learning Resources:Read: Developing Curriculum for Deep Thinking: The Knowledge Revival, multiple authorsRead: Raising Kids Who Read, Daniel WillinghamRead: The Reading Mind, Daniel WillinghamListen: The basic science in reading instruction, with Daniel WillinghamListen: Background knowledge, with Susan Neuman Listen: Research, comprehension, and content-rich literacy instruction: Sonia CabellJoin our community Facebook groupConnect with Susan LambertQuotes:“Your brain is really good at only bringing out the information from long-term memory that is relevant for the context. All of that's happening outside of awareness.” —Daniel Willingham, Ph.D.“When reading is really humming, when it's really working well, it's like visual perception. You're just enjoying the view and you're oblivious to all of the cognitive machinery in the background that's letting you see.” —Daniel Willingham, Ph.D.“Expecting that knowledge-rich curriculum is going to solve all problems… that's [not] what a reading program is. No, a reading program is multifaceted and needs to have lots of components.” —Daniel Willingham, Ph.D.“Knowledge accrues slowly and it's going to take a while. You need to be patient.” —Daniel Willingham, Ph.D.Episode timestamps*2:00 Introduction: Who is Daniel Willingham?05:00 Knowledge and reading comprehension08:00 What it takes to be comfortable reading10:00 Academic or disciplinary knowledge11:00 Comprehension strategies20:00 Applications of knowledge that can be difficult to appreciate25:00 Inferences can be automatic26:00 Taking the “knowledge is important” message too far31:00 Critical thinking and knowledge building32:00 How to decide what knowledge is important to teach36:00 Book: Developing Curriculum for Deep Thinking39:00 Final thoughts and advice*Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute
