Explicit instruction - the step-by-step process for teaching a skill or concept. It includes narration and modeling by the teacher. Actions of the teacher are clear, specific, engaging, direct, and related to the learning objective. Students are not asked to guess.
Reading Universe is made possible by generous support from Jim & Donna Barksdale; the Hastings/Quillin Fund, an advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation (opens in new window); the AFT (opens in new window); the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation (opens in new window); and three anonymous donors.
