35. Why Transcription Skills Matter in Early Writing Instruction with Amy Siracusano 49:37

۵ روز پیش49:37

49:37

In this insightful episode, I sit down with literacy expert, Amy Siracusano, to unpack the critical role that transcription skills play in early writing development. Together, we explore why handwriting, spelling, and fine motor skills aren’t just mechanical tasks—they’re foundational tools that unlock a child’s ability to communicate their thoughts effectively. Amy breaks down the research, shares practical strategies, and shines a light on the often-overlooked building blocks that impact a child’s writing journey. Teachers will walk away with actionable tips and a deeper understanding of how transcription skills influence cognitive load, executive functioning, and writing fluency. Key Takeaways: Why automaticity in transcription is non-negotiable for freeing up cognitive resources for composition How explicit handwriting instruction supports both reading and writing fluency The connection between the writing brain and reading brain Practical ways teachers can integrate transcription skill-building into their literacy block Resources Mentioned: The Not-So-Simple View of Writing model The Handwriting Collaborative Handedness Research Institute National Handwriting Association University of Iowa (Clifter and Lifter materials) “Strengthening the Mind’s Eye” by Dr. Virginia Berninger “Handwriting in a Modern World” by William Van Cleave Dr. Berninger’s PALS program Informal assessments by Linda Farrell and Michael Hunter (Readsters) Practical tools Amy recommended: Short pencils Plastic sleeves/page protectors with 3-lined paper inside Thin, short dry erase markers Appropriate writing utensils (soft lead pencils, crayons for early writers) Three-lined paper for handwriting until automaticity is achieved Connect with Amy Siracusano: LinkedIn: Amy Siracusano Instagram: @amysiracusano Email: amysiracusano@gmail.com Connect with Amy at Upcoming Conferences: Big Sky Literacy Summit The Reading League Conference Plain Talk About Literacy and Learning Conference Connect with Me: Follow me on Instagram: @michelle_thecolorfulclassroom Join our Facebook Community Sign up for my Newsletter Shop on TPT: The Colorful Classroom Visit: www.michelleandthecolorfulclassroom.com Join The COLORFUL Literacy Toolkit Membership…

17:33

In this solo episode of Literacy in Color , we’re cutting through the confusion around sight words, high-frequency words, and orthographic mapping . You’ll get a clear, research-backed understanding of how the brain actually learns words — and why traditional memorization strategies just don’t cut it. Michelle breaks down why every word "wants to grow up and become a sight word" and shares how teachers can make smart instructional moves that build strong, fluent readers by honoring what we know from the Science of Reading. If you’ve ever wondered: Should I still send home sight word flashcards? What’s orthographic mapping actually mean? How can I organize my high-frequency instruction around phonics skills? ...this episode will answer ALL of that (and more!) in a practical, empowering way. Key Takeaways: The difference between sight words and high-frequency words (hint: they're not the same) What orthographic mapping is—and why it’s not an activity How words become mapped for instant recognition Why explicit instruction—not memorization—is key to building fluent readers How to group high-frequency words by phonics features for better transfer and mastery Resources Mentioned: Book: Making Words Stick: A Four-Step Instructional Routine to Power Up Orthographic Mapping (The Science of Reading in Practice) by Dr. Katie Pace Miles & Dr. Molly Ness This post may contain affiliate links, which means if you click on a link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
