01 — The Building Blocks of Language Week One Anchor

A teacher-facing overview of Week One of The Building Blocks of Language. This video explains the purpose behind the five-lesson sequence, the repeating classroom routine, the language systems students begin working with, and the Teacher’s Log as a tool for reflection and growth.

Week One overview

Week One is a flexible instructional frame.

The goal is not simply for students to know a set of words, but to begin developing something they can do with words: look, listen, investigate, find useful handles, take language apart, and put it back together with greater understanding.
