Science of Reading: The Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Thank you for your work to bring some many different voices to this podcast! I love what I am learning from you and I appreciate the sensitivity you have for learners who are varied in skill and experience. Please consider child first language in the future. A child is a child first and primarily. Secondary is his or her special learning needs. “A child with a learning disability” rather than “an LD child”. Twenty years in education and my 22 year old daughter brought this to my attention from her training at university.
Thank you again for the impact you are making for the next generation of teachers and students! Well done!

I’m an adjunct professor in the education department of a small university. I use these podcasts as a learning tool for my students. I love that they have the opportunity to hear directly from experts in the field. Thank you for the rich content and incredible guest selection.

I listen to this almost every day on my commute to work (I’m an elementary teacher.) It helps me get excited for my day and gives me good ideas to try out in my classroom. There are a wide range of topics and the podcast is well-paced.

Love the guests and how much research is done to let us teachers know what should be done in our classrooms (science of reading practices) instead of what is being mandated to be done (workshop models). Wish we now could get more time for science and social studies content to be given just as much press! Unfortunately these subjects are being pushed off because of time for reading and math focus. Maybe more with thematic units and interdisciplinary units.
Thanks for podcasting!!

I’ve listened to about half a dozen of these episodes and I don’t know if just happens to be the ones I pick, but there always seems to be a strong anti-teacher, anti-public school message. I found this podcast because I am interested in the science of reading, but it’s honestly hard to stay open minded and learn when teachers are assumed to not give a darn about their students and their education.
