Teachific podcast
In this podcast, Sharon Callen shares how effective conferring with students in Years 3-6 transforms reading instruction. She introduces the Listening to Reading Protocol that captures the Active View of Reading, guiding teachers through five-minute conferences. Sharon describes working with a Year 3 boy struggling to remember what he reads. By teaching him to keep both “eyes and mind in the book,” the student experiences immediate success and independently develops a Post-It note strategy to track comprehension across chapters, demonstrating how targeted conferring leads to self-regulated reading strategies.
