This is a powerful podcast that addresses all the misconceptions of literacy instruction and why there’s a knowledge gap with educators and students in this country.
This podcast is my new fascination. Thank you for your episode on dyslexia.
These episodes are spot on! I use them for my own growth as a reading teacher and use it in the college courses I teach.
As an Occupational Therapist, this podcast is the most informative that elevates my treatments and approaches that support literacy development.
