Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Listen Again: Dr. Brennan Chandler
Q: What are the biggest misconceptions about dyslexia for older students and how should instruction adapt?
Older learners require qualitatively different instruction than younger students; simply adding more phonics is not enough, and instruction should address word reading, morphology, syntax, and text-level comprehension with flexible strategies and explicit instruction.
Dyslexia Duo Podcast Episode 90 - Dr. Maria Murray of The Reading League
Q: Why is the science of reading important for policy and practice?
Policy must be paired with effective implementation and stakeholder engagement; even well-written laws fail if they are not actively driven by leaders, coaches, and educators who translate research into classroom routines and ensure equitable access for all students.
Dyslexia Duo Podcast Episode 90 - Dr. Maria Murray of The Reading League
Q: What should every effective literacy instruction include?
Instruction should be explicit, systematic, and data-driven, with a foundational focus on phonological skills, abundant opportunities for practice, ongoing corrective feedback, integrated vocabulary and syntax work, and continuous progress monitoring—delivered through sustained professional learning and coaching.
Listen Again: Dr. Jan Wasowicz
Q: What changes have you seen in education around reading science and phonological instruction?
She discusses the shift from whole-language approaches to science of reading, the fall of certain figures, and the need to balance foundational skills with higher-order language development and writing.
Listen Again: Dr. Jan Wasowicz
Q: How would you describe dyslexia for our listening audience?
Dr. Wasowicz explains the quadrant model, describing four groups: typical reading/writing, dyslexia alone, DLD alone, and a combination, and notes the prevalence and impact of DLD on reading and writing.
