A consistently evidence-driven exploration of literacy instruction, focusing on how to implement research-backed practices in real classrooms. Recent episodes cover the science of reading, phonics versus print-to-speech approaches, benchmark testing, writing and sight word instruction, autism-friendly strategies, whole-class versus small-group formats, and encouraging summer reading.
