Read-Think-Talk-Write: Integrating Literacy with Worthy Texts

In Detroit Public Schools Community District, 1st grade Teacher Tawana Jordan and 4th grade teacher Kaitlyn Billops are engaging students in the Read-Think-Talk-Write framework. The framework gives students an opportunity to synthesize evidence, play with ideas, develop arguments, and “rehearse” various forms of communication during lessons, in order for them to demonstrate a deep knowledge and understanding of the topic in writing. This approach integrates reading, speaking and listening, and writing, and results in the production of high-quality, evidence-based writing for students of all ability levels and learning styles.

This is the kind of education every country needs. I am from India and I found this system very interesting and game-changing. This approach has the potential to bring children the best in their fields. This could change a country forever.

I am 100% sure that many of these children will become the best in their field after 10-15 years.

Yes Ms. Billops is my middle school teacher!
