- 🔹Learn the TRUE Differences between Balanced Literacy and The Science of Reading (SOR), also referred to as "Structured Literacy." What's behind this reading debate? Why the clash? What system delivers better results? Why so many people are shifting to the Science of Reading? What does scientific research have to say about this? What exactly is the Science of Reading, anyway?
These are the questions we respond to in this video.

In this video, we explore the evolution of reading instruction from whole-word memorization to the birth of the whole-language methodology to the resurgence of phonics.
But, where does balanced literacy fit in this picture? When and why was it born? How long What beliefs and instructional practices does it stand for?
Should you pick this method for teaching or The Science of Reading?
We'll delve into the world of The Science of Reading. This reading instruction approach is changing the reading education landscape.
The frameworks that is based upon are the Simple View of Reading and Scarborough's Reading Rope, two critical frameworks backed by research. In this video, we explain all about them and why they are so important.
You will also discover which instructional practices align with the Science of Reading, and which ones might inadvertently hinder a child's reading progress. This way you can check whether you are aligned with the principles behind the Science of Reading or not.
Also, if you are transitioning from the balanced literacy approach into the structured literacy approach, or if you simply want to understand and know even more about this topic, at the end of the video, we suggest some great resources for further research.

A superb presentation! I taught handwriting (manuscript and cursive), phonics, and spelling through the entire Whole Language era. I have tutored hundreds of students from Balanced Literacy classes. I am currently helping teachers stuck with a popular Balanced Literacy program to unbalance the program to emphasize the phonics side and get better results.
That's amazing that you were using phonics all along, even when it was all about the whole-word method and balanced literacy. Your students were lucky!
Former students I taught in public and private school classrooms are now sending me their children to tutor so they can learn to read, write, and spell well. @@LearningReadingHub
Could you please share your approach or give suggestions while utilizing the BL Approach, I'm interested in knowing how you did this.
@@davidwatson6831 Like the terms Guided Reading, Sight Words, Leveled Readers, Decodable Text, etc., the term Balanced Literacy is liable to various definitions. Ambiguity abounds! Often a good term is prempted to emphasize one particular approach, which is the case with Balanced Literacy. I teach the alphabet (names and proper strokes), expecting them to be able to write the alphabet from a to z from memory quickly w/proper strokes. I teach the sounds the letters represent with the venerable Phonovisual Charts. Then I start a combination of decodable text (my Blend Phonics Lessons & Stories or my Natural Phonics Primer: A Universal Safety Net for Literacy) and controlled vocabulary readers, which are hard to find these days. I prefer Alice and Jerry (1938/1957). Google "Don Potter Natural Phonics Primer" for more information on the phonics side. or "Blend Phonics." In a sense, I teach everything with spelling, which I consider the missing element.
Another excellent video. Thank you
Thanks a million! So glad you liked it!
I really don't care what you call it. Just make sure the kids know how to read and write before highschool. I couldn't believe the spelling errors in my homeroom in highschool when I made them to start keeping a journal I read once in a while. Words like Occasion, demonstration they'd spell like Okayshun etc in highschool!! This were kids born in 2004/2005 idk how American literacy deteriorated so fast but at least help these 2015-2023 babies read you've already messed up the 2000-2010s. US do better. Fact that I as a non American seems more concerned than Americans is also concerning. Y'all so stupidly concerned about trying to divide on skin color or whatever you're falling behind the entire English speaking world on English literacy. News flash every country has people with different skin it doesn't stop us from teaching and learning especially fundamentals like knowing how to read and write.
Some interesting points you've got there! Thanks for sharing them. I feel that at least it's become super obvious that there has been a real problem with literacy for decades, and we can't keep looking the other way. Unfortunately, not sure that parents are aware of this problem, and that's the whole point of this channel, and videos like this one, actually. The consequences are far too serious. Students who don't read well by the 3rd grade are 4 times more likely to be high school dropouts. Besides, they are also way more likely to feel frustrated, distracted, socially isolated, and even present aggressive behaviors. Also, 2/3 of students who can't read proficiently by the end of 4th grade will end up in jail or welfare. One huge problem is that old habits die hard, and teachers need proper training on things like phonics, grammar, or orthography. I know that many states now require that teachers get training on the science of reading, so that's progress. Let's hope things continue to improve. In the meantime, while we are in this transition, parents need to be aware of this and take action. This may mean getting more involved in their children's learn-to-read journey, learning about English phonics, and supporting their children at home. That's exactly what I did, and it truly paid off.
