“When we started at a charter school nine years ago in nyc we were encouraged to get engaged in the debate over how schools operate so some of this material is familiar. We have been fortunate to attend Success Academy which has tackled many of the issues plaguing other schools. It’s still a work...”Read full review »

“The findings are validating but not shocking. When I graduated in 2011, I was one of the only graduates to find a teaching job—most of my friends had to do clerical work and food service. At my first interview, I was told there had been 600 applications, and they selected ten of us to interview—I...”Read full review »

“I’m loving what I’m hearing, the reporting is well done, the content is compelling and thought provoking.
I found this podcast via my interest in the science of reading and dyslexia. I’ve listened through the series on teacher shortages and I feel my perspective has been broadened and I want to...”Read full review »

“Dear Emily Hanford,
You’ve become a hero to countless families and educators like me. Thank you for shedding light on the tragic results of the three cuing system taught to beginning and struggling readers. All of your podcasts are excellent! Well researched and well told!”

“Wow, what a great documentary! The Reading Wars make clear why we were not taught Phonics in our educational college courses. You adressed misconceptions, and data from Science of Reading and the 2000 NRP Report. Its incredible how reading is so important to determining the success someone has.I...”Read full review »

“This podcast is a fantastic, comprehensive overview on where we stand when teaching young children how to read. There are so many conflicting studies and tons of money to be made by companies at the expense of children.”

“Your reporting on reading is extraordinarily biased. You need to read the latest PISA scores and discuss what occurs beyond this basic level of reading, which, while important, is not the whole story. You ignore the fact that we have been inundated with skill-based reading interventions for...”Read full review »

“I have 30 years as an educator- teacher, literacy coach and librarian. I have always struggled with trying to understand why some kids are successful readers and some aren’t. In grades 5+ pictures disappear and many students get lost.”
