 Why do U.S. eighth graders continue to struggle with reading proficiency? Research suggests that while early literacy reforms have improved fourth-grade reading scores, these gains often plateau by eighth grade due to insufficient decoding skills necessary for understanding complex texts. This indicates a need for sustained literacy instruction beyond the early years to ensure continued reading development. 

This is an unlocked bonus episode, originally aired on the 8th of March, 2024. Check it out on our Patreon! -------- We're joined by the writer and film critic Hannah Strong to talk about "Eighth Grade" the 2018 film debut from musician, comedian and Youtuber Bo Burnham.   The film explores the final days of middle school for a young American girl, and her relationship to her family, her social circle as well as the alternative persona she has made for herself online. We discuss why this might be one of the few successful examples of how social media can be depicted on screen, how much of this derived from Burnham's own experiences on the platforms, and whether, in spite of its successes, it really does capture the lived experiences of young Americans.   Purchase Hannah's Book: 'Sofia Coppola: Forever Young' here: Sofia Coppola: Forever Young'   --------  ------ PALESTINE  AID LINKS You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below.

The Floresville Middle School Jaguars eighth-grade soccer team hosted the Harlandale Lady Indians Dec. 4. Although it was a cool evening, the Jaguars were on fire. With just over sixteen minutes left in the first half, Jaguar Sofia Campos launched a ball that sailed over the heads of teammates and opponents to find its way into the net. The Harlandale goalie saw the ball coming but it was too late to get into position to block it. From that point on, it seemed like open season on the Lady Indians' goal. Isley Draper took her shot and made it count....Article Link

Our conversation for The Valley Business Today with Shayla Rickard, Business Retention Manager for Frederick County Economic Development Authority to discuss the upcoming Worlds of Work (WOW) Expo. This event, happening on October 11, 2024, at the Wilkins Athletic and Event Center at Shenandoah University, is an eighth-grade career exploration program. Originally for seventh graders, the event now targets eighth graders and hosts about 3,000 students from seven school divisions. Shayla explains the origins of WOW, modeled off a southern program, and highlights its purpose—to give students a hands-on look at various careers available in their area. The expo includes industries like agriculture, manufacturing, IT, and healthcare. With employers providing interactive activities, students get to experience a day-in-the-life scenario for different jobs. We discuss how the event allows local businesses and industries to showcase the diversity of roles within their fields. I share anecdotes from previous expos, demonstrating how the event helps students think beyond typical job descriptions. For instance, kids learn that radio stations need more than DJs—they require salespeople, engineers, and programmers. The conversation also touches on how the WOW Expo encourages students to consider different career paths and sparks new interests. Shayla mentions the robust Career and Technical Education (CTE) program in Frederick County, aiding students in making more informed decisions about their future careers. We also talk about the logistics of participating in the expo. Businesses interested in being exhibitors can register easily and no fee is involved. There is a hospitality suite and lunch provided for exhibitors. Shayla highlights the variety of participants they've had in the past, from large corporations to small local businesses, underlining that all sorts of industries are welcome to join.

Think back to the time you transitioned from middle school to high school. You went from being the oldest in the school to now being the youngest in a new building with a bunch of new opportunities in front of you. Many incoming ninth graders are apprehensive about being in a new school and unsure about the classes they need to take and what to get involved in. So, in today's episode, I'm sharing how to seamlessly transition students from eighth to ninth grade.When you get a new caseload of incoming ninth-grade students, there are simple and easy ways to help make their transition smooth and make them feel welcome. These practical ideas include tours of the high school, creating a panel of students to answer any student-led questions, being available to meet them in person, and creative ways to introduce yourself and answer their questions. Nowadays, there are so many different platforms to send information out, so I encourage you to take advantage of those to better reach more students.Making the transition to high school can be intimidating and overwhelming for incoming ninth-grade students, so making it easier as the school counselor is a simple way to make them feel comfortable and welcome. So, if you're looking for practical ideas to implement to make the transition from eighth to ninth grade smooth, this episode is for you!

This is a free preview of a bonus episode. Listen to the entire episode on Patreon by supporting us for as little as $5.00 a month. -------- We're joined by the writer and film critic Hannah Strong to talk about "Eighth Grade" the 2018 film debut from musician, comedian and Youtuber Bo Burnham.   The film explores the final days of middle school for a young American girl, and her relationship to her family, her social circle as well as the alternative persona she has made for herself online. We discuss why this might be one of the few successful examples of how social media can be depicted on screen, how much of this derived from Burnham's own experiences on the platforms, and whether, in spite of its successes, it really does capture the lived experiences of young Americans. --------   Purchase Hannah's Book: 'Sofia Coppola: Forever Young' here: Sofia Coppola: Forever Young'  

Brad and Jake dive into the cinematic highlights of 2018. They kick off with "mid90s," Jonah Hill's directorial debut that vividly brings to life the raw skateboarding scene of 1990s Los Angeles through the eyes of a troubled boy. The journey continues with "Hereditary," Ari Aster's haunting horror film that masterfully intertwines family drama with spine-tingling terror. Brad and Jake dissect these distinct films, wondering what will become of Hill's directing career, and whether Aster's film might be better watched through a more realistic lens than a supernatural one.

We may not exactly be God, but we are definitely here for Margaret this week as we queen out on 2023's adaptation of Judy Blume's “Are You There God? it's Me, Margaret.” Rachel McAdams glows in her mom era, giving us so many nuances in her own coming of age as Barbara Simon. We'll buy Kathy Bates as a Jewish grandmother in New York, but what if it was Caroline Aaron? We discuss parallels to Eighth Grade, PEN15 and A Little Princess, plus our own history being friends with the girls when we were 12, including the opportunity to play Mall Madness on a porch. We also tangent on the BSAs of Juno, performative prayer, sexy Jesus and the unlikely library of STARZ shows.

The year is 2000 and Brad Garoon and Jake Ziegler have swapped movie recommendations, resulting in wildly varying degrees of satisfaction. Jake asked Brad to watch Wonder Boys, Curtis Hanson's charming film about Michael Douglas getting a third (or perhaps fourth or fifth) chance at love (with Frances McDormand) if he can only get over his bad habits and help his misfit friends and students. Said circle of friends is played by Robert Downey Jr., Tobey Maguire, and Katie Holmes. They talk about the terrific cameos present, Douglas's rare turn as a nicer guy, and where this ranks in Downey and Maguire's filmographies. Brad then assigns Jake Bring It On, and Jake isn't happy about it. They discuss how Peyton Reed's movie fails when compared to other high school snapshots of the era, and how Gabrielle Union and Kirsten Dunst don't "bring" the level of quality we've come to expect of them. Can you guess which scene Brad thinks belongs in Tommy Wiseau's the Room?
