In the conversation about how children learn to read, most attention goes to the mechanics — phonics, fluency, vocabulary. But some educators are urging us to look beyond the basics. Dr. Barrie Olson calls it the “cycle of knowledge,” a way of teaching that treats reading not as an end point but as the beginning of deeper thinking. Students don’t just gather information; they create with it and share it, turning knowledge into something active and alive. Ben Weinstein with EdSurge has the full story.
