This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Heinemann.
The webinar recording can be accessed here.

One of our main goals as teachers is to help students grow knowledge and understanding of the past, present, and future world around them. Some of the best tools we have to achieve this goal are texts, intentional conversations, and writing. Join us in this session as we explore frameworks and guiding questions for building text sets for interactive read-aloud that elevate student knowledge, understanding, and critical thinking.

During this edWeb podcast, listeners explore considerations and practices for:

• Selecting and analyzing texts around a connecting idea, central theme, or area of study
• Layering texts in a set to grow knowledge and understanding
• Planning thinking, talking, and writing opportunities with individual texts and across a text set

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-8 teachers, school leaders, and district leaders.
