Hello everyone! Today, it is my pleasure to bring you Kim Yaris, one of the authors of my latest favorite professional book, Who’s Doing the Work: How to Say Less So Readers Can Do More, and we are discussing “next generation” reading instruction.
Kim was an elementary teacher for several years, and now travels the world helping teachers with the hard and rewarding work of fostering meaningful literacy in our students.
I love her passion and ability to take complex concepts and say them in a way that is immediately illuminating. Who’s Doing the Work has been infinitely influential in my work already, and I can’t wait for you all to experience this fantastic talk!
If you’re struggling to get kids to want to do the thinking, reading, or are feeling like you’ve reached a ceiling with your reading instruction, this is the podcast for you! Though the book is mainly geared to elementary teachers, as a 7th grade teacher myself, who teaches students who are behind in their reading achievement, this book has been invaluable.
