Explicit Instruction Case Study Conclusion

We have examined over the course of Mrs. Adams lesson how she used the elements of explicit instruction in her lesson on the digraph “sh.”  The wonderful things about explicit teaching is that it becomes systematic from lesson to lesson.  While you focus on instruction and delivery, students become familiar with your response signal, have frequent opportunities to demonstrate their learning and you are able to closely monitor students performance and provide immediate and corrective feedback.

Below are two resources to help you get started with explicit teaching in your classroom.
