If we can only teach abt 400 words per year to kids in school and kids need to acquire about 3500 words per year for deep literacy - what can close the gap? Kids need to hear A LOT of stories, engage in conversations, read A LOT of real books, and listen to books — #EduSky #vascl institute today!

Tier 2 words are the hardest for kids to learn - 1) are very literal 3) are often specifically taught 2) are intangible words #literacy expertise is dependent upon vocabulary development and sustain in #vascl institute

“this means blanket in Ukrainian”
participants challenged in #vascl institute asked to draw this - imagine being a young child asked to write/pronounce words we introduce - sound and meaning are prewired at birth but visual inputs for words are not encoded — tying sounds to visual inputs is hard - particularly in English

Va school consortium of learning institute today on fostering talent through literacy with Dr. Gene Kerns
talent is everywhere - but talent means little without building expertise
when talent and expertise coalesce, we get the Renaissance - and there are “thrilling implications for education, politics, science, and art.”David Banks
“evidence shows that experts are always made l, not born” Ericsson
“we treat talent as if it’s randomly doled out.” David Banks speaks to why certain times & places seem to have “excess genius”. Magical genius folklore is an old paradigm —in fact, talent is everywhere & in every person -we just don’t develop edupaths essential to building expertise #vascl workshop
