This podcast is an outstanding contribution to the field of literacy education and a truly transformative resource for educators. Each episode thoughtfully bridges research and classroom practice, making complex ideas accessible, actionable, and deeply relevant to the realities teachers face every day. “Reading Realities” is essential listening for anyone committed to improving literacy education.

The podcast consistently challenges educators to reflect on their instructional practices while providing practical strategies grounded in the science of reading and current literacy research. The hosts and guests bring exceptional expertise, yet discussions remain engaging, nuanced, and remarkably accessible for practitioners at all levels.

By sharing and reflecting on best practices, this podcast empowers teachers to make more informed instructional decisions. The result is stronger literacy instruction, greater student engagement, and improved learning outcomes for diverse learners. The podcast not only enhances teacher knowledge but also translates that knowledge into meaningful and actionable classroom practices that directly benefit students.

A must-listen for fans of Sold a Story, Reading Realities feels like the natural next step—moving from understanding what went wrong to seeing what it looks like to get it right. What makes this podcast so valuable is its focus on real educators doing the hard work of changing their practice. These aren’t abstract conversations about theory; they’re honest reflections on shifts in instruction, challenges along the way, and what actually works in classrooms.

Even more importantly, each episode is filled with practical takeaways you can bring directly into your teaching. You come away not just informed, but equipped—with clearer direction, stronger alignment to the science of reading, and tangible ideas for implementation. Change can be hard, but Reading Realities shows that it’s possible—and gives you a path forward.

Just finished listening to the Reading Realities episode featuring Faith, and it was such an honest and powerful conversation about what it really looks like to shift teaching practice.

What stood out most was hearing her reflect on moving from more implicit instruction to explicit foundational skills instruction and realizing just how capable kindergarten students truly are when we give them direct, intentional teaching. I think so many educators will relate to that moment of recognizing that young children can handle far more than we sometimes expect, especially when instruction is clear, systematic, and grounded in the science of reading.

I also appreciated the discussion around modeling mouth movements, sound work, and helping children truly understand how sounds are produced. Those small instructional moves can make such a huge difference for beginning readers, particularly for students who need more explicit support with phonemic awareness and phonics.

A really excellent first episode that highlights both the complexity and the hope involved in changing practice to better support young readers.

I’m glad I found this podcast! I like that we’re hearing from teachers going through these changes just as we are. I found myself wanting to get in on the conversations as well. As teachers, we don’t get to discuss these topics. We hear about changes, we have professional development and then ready…implement! Thanks SUNY!
