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.
I teach reading at the high school level and I am also an adjunct college professor teaching a literacy course to future teachers. This podcast is my “go to” for resources for myself at high school level and to share with my college students. EXCELLENT!!
Michelle’s podcast is an absolute favorite of mine! She is so knowledgeable. Michelle and her interview guests make challenging concepts attainable with practical tips that I can apply to my classroom practice immediately. So grateful to learn from her in this space!
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.
Michelle,
Thank you so much for creating this podcast! I’m in the process of getting my reading teacher endorsement and this podcast is EXACTLY what I was looking for. You are so appreciated for sharing your experience and knowledge with us!
