  • A joy to listen to!

    I actually smile when the music starts because I enjoy RRT so much. Every episode teaches me something (many things!) new that helps me support students and/or fellow educators. Kate asks such great questions and her guests are top notch. Thanks for another superb season!

  • Reading Road Trip

    I have been tutoring in the new science of reading protocol and these podcasts have been invaluable. I have purchased many of the books recommended by the experts interviewed. Every teacher in Ontario should be listening to these podcasts. The future looks bright in Ontario for K - 2 students learning to read. I found this last episode Attention, Memory and Learning especially helpful in planning my tutoring sessions. It made me mindful to review lessons before each new lesson.
