The Literacy Learning Vine™

The Literacy Learning Vine™ is an instructional framework developed by Dr. Sean Brown to help teachers cultivate deeper literacy learning through four intentional stages:

🌿 Reading & Annotating

🌿 Writing

🌿 Discussion

🌿 Revision

At the heart of The Literacy Learning Vine™ is one conviction:

Discussion is not what happens after learning. Discussion is learning.

When students read closely, write independently, engage in meaningful discussion, and revise their thinking, they do more than improve literacy. They learn to think with clarity, listen with humility, and communicate with purpose. It becomes the practice of making meaning. The Literacy Learning Vine™ is currently being developed through Sean Brown Literacy Consulting and will be available for school partnerships, professional learning, and leadership coaching.

Coming Fall 2026.
