Ep.171 Hey No BS Besties! Let’s talk about spelling. In this episode, Sean Morrisey and I break down Timothy Shanahan’s Essential Fundamentals of Spelling Instruction and, more importantly, talk about the WHY behind effective spelling instruction.

We take a closer look at what the research tells us about spelling instruction and why it matters for literacy. PROMISE By the end of this episode, you’ll have a better understanding of why we teach spelling the way we do and what students really need from spelling instruction. And this is just the beginning.

| Teacher Talk and Language Development: What Do You Think the Evidence Shows? | 10 Mar 2026 | 01:01:10 | |
Ep.160 Does Teacher Talk Really Matter? What the Evidence Shows with Dr. Yan Jiang In this episode of The Literacy View, we sit down with Dr. Yan Jiang, Postdoctoral Scholar at the Stanford Center on Early Childhood and coauthor of a major meta analysis published in Review of Educational Research. Her study analyzes more than one hundred studies examining the relationship between teachers’ language practices and children’s language development from preschool through third grade. There is growing conversation in education about the role of classroom talk, oral language, and teacher interactions in shaping language development. But what does the research actually show? We take a close look at how researchers approached this question, how teacher language practices are studied across classrooms, and what patterns begin to emerge when the evidence from many studies is examined together. Value In this episode we explore • What researchers mean when they talk about teacher language practices • How studies attempt to capture and measure classroom talk • Why the distinction between quantity of talk and quality of interactions matters in research • How large scale meta analyses combine findings across many different studies • What educators should think about when hearing claims about language rich classrooms and oral language instruction This conversation helps unpack how research in this area is conducted and why interpreting findings about classroom language requires nuance. Promise In this episode we promise to take you inside a new meta analysis that examines more than one hundred studies on teacher language practices and children’s language development. Together we unpack how researchers study classroom talk, what they actually mean when they talk about teacher language practices, and why measuring something as complex as classroom interaction is not as straightforward as it might sound. You will walk away with a clearer understanding of how this research was conducted, what kinds of teacher language practices researchers are examining, and how educators should think about claims connecting teacher talk and student language growth. .

They explain why knowing how to teach is as vital as what to teach, clear up myths that can derail instruction, and spotlight evidence from interventions like NELI. Research shows that boosting spoken language early provides children with more resources to apply during independent and teacher directed learning, leading to stronger reading and broader academic success. The evidence is sufficient and the tools now exist to assess and teach spoken language in the early grades.” Major Takeaways from the Research:

Districts are buying them. Teachers are assigning them. Publishers are hyping them. But beneath the buzz, the real question is: Are decodables making a difference—or are we just following a script? In this episode, we go beyond the phonics fanfare to ask the hard questions:
🔥 Inside This Episode:
👀 Why It Matters: Too many classrooms are being told decodables are the magic bullet. But without planning, intention, and skilled instruction, they can turn into robotic routines with little payoff. This episode unpacks the nuance—and gives educators permission to ask for more. 💬 Quote Worth Repeating: “A decodable text isn’t a lesson plan. It’s a tool—and only as good as the hands that use it.” 👩🏫 For Educators Who Are:
