Episode 29: Memo To Teachers: Please Come Back To Real Reading (Jan 19, 2022)
In this podcast I mention three reading reformers who specialize in helping teachers. Pick one and let that person’s ideas be your guide for a few weeks. If you think the advice is not perfect, go to the next person.
Remember that the advice you will get in the school from official experts is probably worthless. But typically teachers have been indoctrinated in ed school so they're very reluctant to step away from that bad advice. Now is a good time to do just that.
Meet three reading experts:
Nora Chahbazi Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction / EBLI
Emily Hanford, The Science of Reading
Denise Eide, The Logic of English
You'll find a lot of information on the Internet about all of them. Please do your own research.
Let's Fix Education explains to Americans why their schools are so bad. The people in charge prefer mediocrity because they are socialists of one kind or another. If people work together to promote real education, we'll have it.
