To Read Stuff You Have to Know Stuff
by Kelly Gallagher
💡 What if the biggest hurdle to reading comprehension isn’t skills—but knowledge?
We teach students to annotate, analyze, and infer… but without background knowledge, even the best reading strategies fall flat.
In this book, Kelly Gallagher explores why knowledge-building is the missing key to deeper comprehension—and how we can bridge that gap in our classrooms.
Join us as we discuss practical ways to help students make sense of what they read, connect ideas across texts, and develop the knowledge they need to become stronger, more engaged readers.
Here's what you have to look forward to when you join us:
✅ A structured reading guide – Simple, weekly reading goals
✅ Engaging discussions – Chat with fellow ELA teachers about big ideas and strategies
✅ Classroom applications – Takeaways you can use in your teaching next year
✅ Bonus resources – Tools to help you implement knowledge-building strategies
