Podcast Playlists

We’ve taken our favorite episodes on a variety of topics and bundled them together for easy learning. Are you a primary teacher looking to learn more about the Science of Reading? We have a playlist for that. How about an upper elementary teacher looking to dive into fluency and reading comprehension? We’ve got that, too.

Listen to a playlist and head to the classroom next door to chat with your best teacher friend after listening. Or take this to a Professional Learning Community to complement a book study. We’re so glad you’re here to learn with us!

In 2018, we were both working in Baltimore when the district adopted a new knowledge-building curriculum, Wit & Wisdom. We worked closely to learn about the curriculum and in the process also learned research-aligned ways to teach reading and writing. We had so many ''aha" moments together!

On a whim in 2019, Lori came to Melissa with an idea for a podcast that would give us a place to keep learning and share that learning with others who may have been going through similar mindset shifts. We wanted teachers to know that they weren’t alone.

In April of 2019, we recorded our first episode of the Melissa & Lori Love Literacy podcast in Melissa’s basement. Since then, we have interviewed nearly 200 literacy experts, teachers, and leaders. The experts we have interviewed translate research in an accessible way, while the teachers and leaders share practical application for the classroom.
