What Should Reading Teachers Know and Be Able to Do?

Hi Literacy Lovers,

This is such an important question! In our recent podcast episode, we discuss this question with reading legend, Dr. Louisa Moats. Together, we define the term science of reading - including all parts of the reading rope - and connect decades of research and theory to classroom practice. 

We also discuss Louisa Moats's article: Teaching Reading is Rocket Science: What Expert Teachers of Reading Should Know and Be Able to Do.

 We are so glad you are here to learn with us! 💙
