    What an incredible episode clearing up confusions in the field, explaining terminology, and what we need to do for children to learn how to read. If you haven't listened to this episode it's a must listen. Thank you to Michelle Sullivan for this incredible interview.

  • Enlightening, accessible, and useful

    It’s rare to find a podcast that is enlightening, accessible, and useful all at the same time. Some podcasts fulfill one of those criteria. But not many fulfill all of them. I learned a lot, the presentation is clear and accessible, and the content is useful for education. Highly recommended.
