The types of texts students encounter in school play a critical role in their reading development, yet many education leaders may not fully understand their distinct purposes and impacts. This engaging edWeb podcast demystifies the role of various text types—from traditional books and decodables to ebooks—and how each supports literacy growth.
Join literacy experts and education leaders as they discuss building a text-rich environment that supports all readers, especially those with diverse learning needs. Learn how decodable texts reinforce foundational skills, how traditional books foster comprehension and critical thinking, and how ebooks and audiobooks provide equitable access to grade-level content. Key takeaways include:
- How to evaluate and select the right mix of texts for your school or district
- Strategies for using text diversity to meet the needs of struggling readers and students with dyslexia
- How to repurpose leveled texts
- Guidance on how to match text types to student needs and abilities
Empower your educators and students with the right texts at the right time and lead your school toward stronger, more equitable literacy outcomes. This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school leaders, district leaders, librarians, and education technology leaders.
