Summer Series - Research to the Classroom: Dyad Reading Part 1 (The Research)

The Structured Literacy Podcast

What is the Summer Series
A collection of listener favourites from Structured Literacy Podcast to help you prepare for 2025.
Today's Episode.
This week, we are discussing dyad reading or assisted reading. The paper I'm sharing is The Effects of Dyad Reading and Text Difficulty on Third Grader's Reading Achievement. It was published in 2017 by Lisa Brown, Kathleen Moore, Bradley Wilcox, and Tyson Barrett. And they're from the Utah State University. The journal that was published was the Journal of Educational Research. The main focus of this study was to, in the author's words, replicate previous research about dyad reading.
What is the Research to the Classroom series?
Hi there. Welcome to the Structured Literacy Podcast. It's Jocelyn here, and I am so pleased to welcome you this week because we have a brand new series for you. One of the things I remember so vividly is being in school as a teacher and then leader, Really wanting to keep up with readings and research and just not having the bandwidth to do it. So we've started a brand new series for you called Research to the Classroom. It's a series of three episodes on a topic. The first episode is a discussion of a research paper. The second episode shares some specific instructional routines or very practical applications of this research. The third episode is a conversation with a real live teacher who is employing these practices in their classrooms and can share the good things and the tricky bits with you to help you shortcut success.

While evidence-informed programs are seen in many schools, this doesn't make adopting evidence-informed practices effortless or stress-free. The Reading Success in the Early Primary Years Teach Along will give you the confidence to make nuanced decisions about early reading instruction, regardless of the program your school uses, and get the best outcome for every student.

Are your students good readers, but poor spellers? If so, you are not alone. Spelling Success in Action addresses phonics, orthography, and morphology to give students a well-rounded understanding of how our language system works.
