  • A great voice for excellence in teaching reading

    I’ve been a fan of Anna through her podcast, and now her excellent book, for years. I am an avid podcast consumer, and Anna was built for podcasting. She is genuine, knowledgeable, generous, engaging, and she thinks well on the fly, always asking insightful questions of her guests. It doesn’t hurt that she has a great voice for podcasting as well. I look forward to every episode. Her recent series on the great work in the Cudahy schools gives me hope that we actually can teach all kids to read. ... more

    Anna is INVESTED in being knee deep in the Science of Reading research — and it shows. She’s honestly one of the smartest women I know. She is an expert at delivering information clearly and concisely — and without bias. I especially appreciate when she speaks to differing approaches grounded in research, bringing light to the fact that there’s not just one way to teach a concept. This podcast — and her book— are a must for anyone who wants to learn more about the Science of Reading research in ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Greatest Hits Countdown - #4 - Reading Fluency with Dr. Tim Rasinski
Q: What are the big takeaways from research for teaching fluency in the classroom?
Fluency comprises automatic word recognition and prosody/expression; both are needed. Teachers should model fluent reading, provide assisted reading experiences, and use varied practice (wide and repeated readings) with texts chosen to balance cognitive demand and expressive potential, ensuring students experience success daily.
Greatest Hits Countdown - #4 - Reading Fluency with Dr. Tim Rasinski
Q: Can you talk to us a little bit about how you got into education and then what led you into studying fluency?
I started with an economics degree, served in the military, and then used the GI Bill to become a teacher. While working as a Title One interventionist, I found that fluency—especially the expressive, performing side of reading—made the most difference for kids who struggled, which led me to pursue fluency research and eventually a career bridging research and classroom practice.
Greatest Hits Countdown - #2 - What we know about phonemic awareness - with Dr. Susan Brady
Q: Is there a role for rhyme and syllable activities in preschool or early kindergarten?
Rhyme and syllable activities can support language development and memory, but they do not reliably build phoneme awareness or letter-sound knowledge required for early decoding; the focus should remain on activities that directly connect phonemes to letters.
Greatest Hits Countdown - #5 - Rethinking reading comprehension with Brent Conway
Q: How should teachers shift from a strategies-first approach to planning from the text?
Teachers should start from the text to determine the knowledge and language demands, choose evidence-based moves, and plan integrated sequences that connect reading, writing, and knowledge across domains.
Greatest Hits Countdown - #5 - Rethinking reading comprehension with Brent Conway
Q: What is the main difference between a principal's responsibilities and a central office role?
A principal focuses on the building and immediate day-to-day operations, while central office roles involve broader responsibilities like budgeting, program evaluation, and district-level planning.
