When you click a lightbulb in any lesson, you'll see the teaching strategy behind that part and how to use it in your day.
Learn the strategy
Connect new ideas to what students already know.
Use it to teach
Break new words into smaller parts students may recognize.
- 1Maybe you’re introducing centimeters in math.
- 2Ask if “centimeter” has a word inside it they might recognize.
- 3They might connect “cent” to money, since there are 100 cents in a dollar.
- 4From there, you can start the conversation about how many centimeters are in a meter, and what the base “cent” means.
Your students (and you!) ask big questions. We’ll get you an expert answer.
Ask us anything about how kids learn, the science of instruction, or when to use BLN in your day. What are your kids curious about? Send us their questions, too.
“One of my students really struggles to follow along when I read a picture book. How can I help support him?”
“When you learn, does the brain get bigger?”
