I'm late to discovering it, but the #podcast series Sold a Story, about flawed science in teaching reading, is really good. It was a nice blend of fact-focused and narrative, and it seems to have really changed the conversation. And it's remarkable how long big publishing companies ignored the data on how teaching kids to guess at words rather than sound them out was never effective.

If you need a podcast to listen to, I highly recommend "Sold a Story" by Emily Hanford. It's about the science of teaching kids to read. As was the case for some of the featured kids, it was my mom who finally taught me to read, sometime after 3rd grade. So I'm a bit biased but I think it is of general interest, and should be a must-listen if you have kids entering school. #reading #books #pedagogy #teachers #teaching #kids #school #science #education #literacy #SoldAStory https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sold-a-story/id1649580473

@tdrummon @MichiganCJ I would encourage you to listen to the #SoldAStory #podcast for a compelling argument that supports science based #reading instructional practices while also addressing the issue of corporate peddling of programs that don't work.

#29 Sold a Story

This is a short, 6-episode podcast about why the dominant paradigm in the US for teaching children how to read was wrong for decades. It's incredibly interesting (and infuriating).

I just finished it today! I really enjoyed the details about what's going on neurologically when children learn how to read.

@jenm Did you hear anything new - memorable - controversial regarding #Reading #Instruction in the #SoldAStory #podcast? #edutooter

Has anyone listened to #SoldAStory yet? It's in my #podcast queue, but I'm curious to hear opinions about it?

I've never heard a podcast that actually made me angry 😡 Why, oh why, is *teaching* of all things something to make money out of, over educating kids, especially in the area of reading?? Absolutely bonkers.

🚨A new front has opened up in the push to privatize #schools.🚨

At Fox News Jeb Bush explicitly cited #soldastory as a reason we need #AZEd #schoolvouchers. I walk through why this is a new “moderate” weapon to attack #publiceducation to appeal to parents turned off by the culture war version 👇

If you’re a researcher or educator, or both, this podcast is a must. It’s a baffling account of how we stopped teaching children how to read. Literally. https://features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/ #SoldAStory

@virginiaheffernan Yes, Sold a Story by Emily Hanford is a fabulous podcast series (6 episodes). I highly recommend it for parents, administrators, librarians, and teachers at all levels & subject areas. #SoldAStory #TeachReading

An inescapable fact: Testing reading comprehension is testing knowledge of the world.

I’ve referred to this experience as “pin the tail on the reading level” in the past. Efficient and effective? #truestory #soldastory
