Most of us were quietly trained to hand the Bible over to the experts, to sit in the pew, absorb the sermon, and trust that the people with the seminary degrees had it figured out. But here's the thing: the tools for reading any text responsibly aren't locked inside a degree program. They're the same six questions we hand to eight-year-olds in language arts class:  who, what, when, where, why, and how. In this episode, I walk through all six and show what actually happens when you apply them to some of the most quoted verses in evangelical culture. This isn't about dismantling your faith. It's about reading more honestly, and discovering that the texts are far more interesting, and far more alive, when you actually slow down long enough to understand what you're reading. This originally was a Substack article that I wrote where I go into more detail as well as add some cool takeaways.  If interested, you can check it out here:  https://clemenzwithaz.substack.com/p/the-six-questions-an-elementary-approach?r=3leo1r If something in this conversation resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you. You can email me at clemenzwithaz@gmail.com, or send me a DM over on Instagram at @clemenzwithazpodcast. If you want to support the podcast financially, you can head over to ClemenzWithAZ.com, there's a merch store there with shirts, stickers, all kinds of stuff. You can also donate directly through the GoFundMe, the link's in the show notes. Every bit goes a long way in helping me keep these conversations going. And if you're looking for something a little more regular, check out my Substack: Devotions for the Disillusioned & Deconstructing. That's where I share short reflections, devotionals, and some extra behind-the-scenes thoughts that don't always make it onto the podcast. And of course, the best way you can support the show is by subscribing, rating, and leaving a review wherever you listen to podcasts. Share it with a friend, post it on your socials, drop it in a group chat, it all helps more than you know. This podcast keeps going because of listeners like you showing up, engaging, and passing it on. So thank you for being here, for listening, and for being part of this messy middle with me. Until next time, take care of yourselves, and each other.

Episode 169: The Boy Poet from Corn reveals a Grand Prize Co-Winner in the Oklahoma Poem Contest.

We also discuss how poetry changes the world. Luke knows this. You must listen.

Should we hold kids back? Utah lawmakers are weighing legislation today that would allow schools to hold third graders back to improve reading skills, in addition to adding more support for reading. Jason Swenson, Deseret News Writer, joins the show to explain the legislation and arguments for and against. Listeners chime in with their thoughts.

Dylan Sharkey from the Illinois Policy Institute discusses alarming reading proficiency results among Illinois third graders, tracing the impact of COVID-era remote learning and chronic absenteeism. Only about half of students are reading at grade level, with some schools showing nearly universal non-proficiency. Sharkey emphasizes the need for early identification of reading deficiencies, parental involvement, and accountability for schools, highlighting the long-term consequences of moving students forward without addressing foundational learning gaps.

Governor Spencer Cox proposed holding back more third graders in a move to increase literacy rates. He cited that less than half of Utah's 3rd graders can read at grade level and suggested that holding back these students will give them the time to learn before pushing them onto the next grade. Greg and Holly speak with Brigham Tomco from the Deseret News about this proposal and the stigma in school about being held back.

India's largest school board, CBSE, has announced that students as young as Class 3 will begin learning Artificial Intelligence.This isn't the first time. The board rolled out an AI elective for Class 9 in 2019, long before generative AI was a household name. Now, the goal is to make "AI thinking" as fundamental as grammar.We dive into this massive national experiment, exploring what "learning AI" means for a third grader—it's less about building chatbots and more about "computational thinking." And the real test ahead isn't the syllabus; it's whether India can train millions of teachers, many still unsure about using the tools they're now expected to teach.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Black and Brilliant Local Author As the sixteen-year-old President of the Jacksonville Youth Council NAACP, he was one of the leaders of the 1960 sit-in demonstrations that culminated in the infamous and violent Ax Handle Saturday. Hurst's first book, the award-winning It Was Never About a Hot Dog and a Coke®!, tells that story. Hurst's fourth book, Black and Brilliant (written for 12-18 year-olds), dives deeper into bigotry, segregation and racism he experienced as a pre-teen and a teenager in Jacksonville. The book also reflects on the legacy of Black America and the many influences on his life that made him proud of his Blackness and piqued his interest in Black History. About our Guest Speakers Rodney Lawrence Hurst Sr., is a civil rights activist, a Black historian, a veteran of the United States Air Force and the award-winning author of four books. Hurst is a native of Jacksonville, Florida, and a 1960 high school graduate of segregated Northwestern Junior-Senior High School in Jacksonville. He was the sixteen-year-old President of the Jacksonville Youth Council NAACP and was one of the leaders of the 1960 sit-in demonstrations. Rodney has won countless awards for his books and his civil rights work. In addition to his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, Hurst served two four-year terms on the Jacksonville City Council. He is responsible for numerous "firsts" in the Jacksonville Community. Some being Hurst was one of the thirteen original national recipients of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting Television Fellowships and he co-hosted a television talk show as the first Black person in Jacksonville on PBS Channel WJCT. Read more on his website. Interviewer TiLena Robinson worked as a middle and high school social studies teacher with Duval County Public Schools for nine years. In her current role as grant specialist she focuses on improving school climate by supporting schools with the implementation of programs that focus on reducing bullying incidents in schools and help students build healthy relationships. She is a member of DCPS's African American History Task Force and works to bring equity, inclusion, and diversity to education. She believes that “You can't teach world history without talking about Africa and how African peoples have impacted society; And you can't teach U.S. history without talking about how African Americans have contributed to the history of the United States.” Featured Book: Black and Brilliant Rodney believes, "Black and Brilliant young people need to know their Black and Brilliant history and the Black and Brilliant stalwarts who engineered that history. It is never too early, nor are you too young, to understand the plight of those who look like you and what they achieved from the founding days of this country." This book, he says, "Is more than a historical account, it is a call to action..." He hopes that young people "learn from the courage and resilience of those who fought for civil rights, gaining a deeper appreciation for the remaining challenges."  Hurst's leadership as a teenager during the Civil Rights Movement is also the subject of a chapter in the Scholastic book, Ten True Tales: Young Civil Rights Heroes, written for Third Graders to Seventh Graders and ages 8 to 12. Check out all of Rodney's work from the Library! https://jaxpl.na4.iiivega.com/search?query=Rodney%20Hurst&searchType=agent&pageSize=10  Rodney Recommends The JaxNext100 award-winning mini documentary, "Unless We Tell: Ax Handle Saturday" features Hurst describing the Jacksonville Youth Council NAACP 1960 sit-ins and Ax Handle Saturday. The title was inspired by Hurst's second book, Unless We Tell It... It Never Gets Told! The film took First Place at the Jacksonville LOL (Loving Our Locals) Film Festival in 2022. It was a collaboration between Hurst, his grandson-in-law, Kyle Dorrell, and his granddaughter Marquiette (Mark-Kita) D. Dorrell and their company, Weighted Sailor.

Has something in this episode resonated with you? Get in touch! What is the Summer SeriesA collection of listener favourites from Structured Literacy Podcast to help you prepare for 2025.  Today's Episode.This week, we are discussing dyad reading or assisted reading. The paper I'm sharing is The Effects of Dyad Reading and Text Difficulty on Third Grader's Reading Achievement. It was published in  2017 by Lisa Brown, Kathleen Moore, Bradley Wilcox, and Tyson Barrett.   And they're from the Utah State University.   The journal that was published was the Journal of Educational Research.   The main focus of this study was to, in the author's words, replicate previous research about dyad reading. What is the Research to the Classroom series?Hi there. Welcome to the Structured Literacy Podcast. It's Jocelyn here, and I am so pleased to welcome you this week because we have a brand new series for you. One of the things I remember so vividly is being in school as a teacher and then leader,   Really wanting to keep up with readings and research and just not having the bandwidth to do it.   So we've started a brand new series for you called Research to the Classroom. It's a series of three episodes on a topic.   The first episode is a discussion of a research paper.   The second episode shares some specific instructional routines or very practical applications of this research.   The third episode is a conversation with a real live teacher who is employing these practices in their classrooms and can share the good things and the tricky bits with you to help you shortcut success. While evidence-informed programs are seen in many schools, this doesn't make adopting evidence-informed practices effortless or stress-free. The Reading Success in the Early Primary Years Teach Along will give you the confidence to make nuanced decisions about early reading instruction, regardless of the program your school uses, and get the best outcome for every student. While evidence-informed programs are seen in many schools, this doesn't make adopting evidence-informed practices effortless or stress-free.

Recording of Andy Lockwood's presentation to an intimate group of parents (including one with a First and Third Grader) in March 2024. Lockwood fielded a variety of questions, including: *How many times should you take the PSAT? * What are "good" extracurricular activities? *How long will this presentation last (asked by a 5th grade daughter dragged to the presentation by her mom. Real cute, kid.) *When should you start working with a college advisor? (Lockwood liked this question, but his answer might surprise you.) *More For more resources, visit https://www.lockwoodcollegeprep.com/

Hey my friend,   Do your kids run out of money quickly? Do they hit you up for toys? Do your children need money for a new skate board, cell phone or for gaming? The list of desires and dreams is long! Kids needs to learn to BE THE BOSS OF THEIR OWN MONEY early on! (a.k.a. FINANCIAL LITERACY). But what fun is it to hear about this from an adult? That's why I interviewed my 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. In this episode she shares her simple money management system. Hear from a 3rd grader how this easy-to-follow system has helps her to be smart with her money! By the way, you can do this too ;-) Get in the driver's seat and be your own boss when it comes to managing your money like a pro. I pray this blesses you.

Dr. Kathy considers a recent ruling in a Utah school to re-authorize the Bible to be in the school library after they previously banned it.

It's Anne here with a mini-episode of Transparency and Teaching Podcast, the News Edition. We used to start our episodes with education news, but you know, uh, we got so long-winded as we talked about the main topics that we decided to cut that out. Well, lucky for you, I'm retired, so I have all kinds of time to update you on what's happening in the education world. The News Edition will share news about the current policies and politics that affect our teaching world. So this little in-between bonus episode will show up in your feed now and then to ensure you're up to date on the latest ED news. This episode features three news stories that I feel may set the tone for schools and districts nationwide. As we know, one district's policies and often the politics that give birth to them can act as a bellwether that encourages other education establishments to adopt them—knowing what is happening and why is vital for being prepared for what might soon be coming to a district near you. Here's a preview of the stories in this episode: 1). The Office of Civil Rights determines penalties for Forsyth County book bans. After a recent review of the situation by the US Department of Ed, Forsyth County Schools has entered into an agreement with the US Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, the O C R, about how to rectify the creation of what was deemed a hostile environment in schools, due to the removal of certain books from school libraries. The district was accused of removing books from school libraries that dealt with LGBTQ plus and BIPOC topics. The district, however, claimed to be reviewing books for sexually explicit materials they deemed inappropriate for certain age groups. Some students and families complained that this was creating a hostile environment for some students and that the district had made no effort to discuss the impact of book removals with students. 2). Our second story is about Nebraska, which has just approved taxpayer-funded school choice through the Opportunity Scholarships Act. The Opportunity Scholarships Act bill approved last month gives a generous $25 million in tax credits to people who donate to a scholarship-granting organization. These organizations will fund and then distribute the scholarships to parochial and private schools allowing low-income families to afford to attend private schools. This could eventually be raised to a hundred million dollars. Depending on the demand for the credits. Taxpayers can donate half of their state tax liability, up to $100,000, to private school scholarships. Senators on both sides of the aisle have opinions on the possible outcomes of this new tax break on schools. 3). Finally, Tennessee is to implement a retention policy for non-proficient third-grade readers. I recently did a podcast on Tennessee retaining third graders who are not reading on grade level, and I mentioned I'd update you on whether or not the bill was passed. Well, the bill passed on April 20th and was sent to the governor's desk for signing. It is not scheduled to take effect until the next school year, 2023-24. That allows this year's third graders to move along without meeting the grade level mark. Fair warning, this year's second graders and their parents, you best be doing a bunch of reading over the summer because next year, you'll not move on if you are not at grade level!

This is a special podcast I wrote as a follow-up after visiting Mrs. Webb's third-grade classroom to speak about what I do. It was a wonderful experience, the children asked a lot of good questions, and had a lot of great insights already into what it takes to become better, stronger, and wiser. It's my hope to do more events like this in my life!
