#391 Guide to the Science of Reading with Erica Woolway (pt.1)

Hello everyone! We have done extensive podcasts on the many aspects of reading and writing. We have covered pedagogy, research, cutting edge ideas and a return to form. One of the biggest topics that have graced this show is the topic of The Science of Reading. Heard of it?  To dive into the latest research, findings, and thinking around the subject, I have brought on one of the experts in the field, Erica Woolway. Erica Woolway is the President and Chief Academic Officer of Teach Like a Champion. Erica is a former kindergarten teacher and elementary school leader. She is coauthor of Practice Perfect and Reading Reconsidered. In this episode we cover what SoR is, the debate around what works in reading, and the push for a more in-depth approach to reading instruction (among other odds and ends.)  Enjoy!    Teach Like a Champion Links   Buy the book: https://www.wiley.com/en-us/The+Teach+Like+a+Champion+Guide+to+the+Science+of+Reading%3A+Translating+Research+to+Reignite+Joy+and+Meaning+in+the+Classroom-p-9781394305995 Pilot the Reading Reconsidered Curriculum – available to purchase just one unit for £590 : https://teachlikeachampion.org/reading-reconsidered-curriculum/ Come to our workshops: https://teachlikeachampion.org/training/workshops/ Have us come lead training for you (in-person or remotely): https://share.hsforms.com/1w8SlL9vPRuq30hsy_6JUWgs3y4d?__hstc=65301169.251c3eb934a8f6dab79aeafc7cae4ab1.1727899617348.1757098518554.1757340098147.227&__hssc=65301169.2.1757340098147&__hsfp=3474073941   Doug LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglemov X: @Doug_Lemov ; https://x.com/doug_lemov?lang=en Blog: https://teachlikeachampion.org/blog/   Erica LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erica-woolway-44901130/ X: https://x.com/ericawoolway?lang=en   Colleen LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colleen-driggs-09903559/ X: https://x.com/colleendriggs?lang=en
