In this episode of Progressively Incorrect, I’m joined by Dr. Shawn Datchuk, a leading researcher who’s helped shape how we think about sentence construction for struggling learners. Drawing from the literature on Precision Teaching and Direct Instruction, Shawn shares how timed practice and explicit strategies can accelerate mastery in writing, especially for students with learning disabilities. We unpack some of the resources he has been cooking up on his website, available here, and why sentence-level instruction deserves more attention than it gets. Whether you’re a classroom teacher or an instructional designer, this episode makes the case that building fluent writers is about careful, deliberate teaching.
