S2 E1: Behind & Beyond Sold a Story with Emily Hanford
Episode description
Season 2 of Reading Road Trip kicks off with Emily Hanford! Join Kate Winn to get the inside scoop on Emily's reporting work on the science of reading, including the incredibly popular podcast Sold a Story. Emily unpacks her journey into reporting on literacy instruction, how Sold a Story was made, and how she responds to critics.
Show Notes:
Emily's articles and podcasts through APM Reports have shone a light on reading instruction, and have catalyzed conversations and changes to literacy instruction across the world:
- Hard Words: Why aren't kids being taught to read?
- At a Loss for Words: How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers
- What the Words Say: Many kids struggle with reading - and children of color are far less likely to get the help they need
Kate and Emily discuss Sold a Story, the incredibly popular podcast Emily created with Christopher Peak. If you haven't yet listened, check out the six episodes and two bonus episodes.
Kate also mentions a webinar series about structured literacy in kindergarten from Emily Moorhead, an Ontario kindergarten teacher and IDA Ontario volunteer. Take a look at the first, second and third parts of the recordings.
