Episode 161: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I'm joined by Reid Smith and Christopher Such as we explore the role of background knowledge in reading comprehension and the research Reid has conducted over the better part of the last decade.
As part of the chat we discuss...
- the key research takeaways,
- the limitations placed on anyone studying or interpreting research into reading comprehension,
- what the findings mean for our practice in the classroom
...and much, much more.
