The Pivot

• Myths & Misconceptions: A "Stop/Go" table. | Instead of... (The Myth) | Try... (The Science) | | :--- | :--- | | Three-Cueing | Orthographic Mapping |

• Knowledge Check: A quick 2-question "Self-Check."

  • Interactive Opportunity: A simple Google Form quiz or a Genially "Drag and Drop" activity where users categorize practices as "Effective" or "Ineffective."

Next Steps & Resources

• Downloadable Tool: A 1-page "Cheat Sheet" PDF (created in Canva).

• Learn More: A curated list of 3–5 high-quality links (e.g., Reading League articles, IES Practice Guides).

Discussion Starters: 2–3 questions for EPP faculty to use in a college seminar or for coaches to use in a PLC.
