2.1: Going Deeper With the Science of Reading

We’re back for season 2 of the Together in Literacy Podcast! We took the summer off from recording so that we could spend some time with our families and now we’re back and ready to dive even deeper into The Science of Reading!

In this episode, we’ll fill you in on some of the exciting things we did (both professionally and personally) over the summer. Then, we’re digging into some important info about the Science of Reading!  

Tune in for an exciting discussion of the Science of Reading and how it relates to dyslexia and teaching the whole child. We’ll look at some misunderstandings we see, offer some recommendations that we have, and share some important points to remember when choosing what training to invest in.
