A Conversation with Robert J. Tierney and P. David Pearson

Send us Fan MailDrs. Robert J. Tierney and P. David Pearson talk to us about their latest collaborative work, an open-access monograph entitled Fact-Checking the Science of Reading. In this free volume (linked in the show notes, on their guest page, and available at literacyresearchcommons.org), Rob and David take a journalistic approach to identifying the current global conversation around the Science of Reading, while offering contextualizing histories and the nuance often missing from that conversation. They share ways in which we might move forward from the current moment of heavy-handed and restrictive policy moves to a view of teaching reading that honors who learners are as individuals, rooted in the sciences of reading. Rob and David are both past guests on the show.You can find Rob and David's free monograph Fact-Checking the Science of Reading and other resources at literacyresearchcommons.org.
