Science of Reading The Podcast

How children learn to read turns out to be way more contested and fascinating than you'd expect, and this podcast digs into the research with genuine rigor. The reading wars between whole language and phonics approaches have real consequences for real kids, and understanding the evidence matters enormously. Essential for teachers, literacy coaches, and parents who want to make informed decisions about how their children are being taught. The episodes are substantive without being impenetrable. Education research that actually changes practice.
