“I’ve listened to about half a dozen of these episodes and I don’t know if just happens to be the ones I pick, but there always seems to be a strong anti-teacher, anti-public school message. I found this podcast because I am interested in the science of reading, but it’s honestly hard to stay open...”Read full review »

“I hoped this show would talk about the science of reading, but it puts out puff pieces about school literacy programs instead. This content does not help me grow as a teacher.”

“I really enjoy listening to the researchers and educators that Susan invites to her podcast. I’ve found some of the podcasts have me questioning and inquiring further. I’ve learned a lot since I’ve started listening. I also listen to this podcast in conjunction with several others so that I can...”Read full review »

“I listen to this almost every day on my commute to work (I’m an elementary teacher.) It helps me get excited for my day and gives me good ideas to try out in my classroom. There are a wide range of topics and the podcast is well-paced.”

“The first five episodes are about how teachers are horrible to children, and how they have been letting them down for years, and that children only aren’t learning because they’ve had horrible teachers. Not a single mention behind any of the science of reading methods or practices or theories....”Read full review »

“The first 2 seasons were great. This last season is hard to listen to. The host always seems to be doing something else when the guest is talking and has a lag of response followed by a disinterested sounding “mmmm” or inserts a random “uh-huh” and “yeah” to try to cover for not actually paying...”Read full review »

“Self absorbed academics inflated with debased coin of valuable content.
A podcast of specialized experts in reading which is amateurishly produced. So much money wasted on their research yet where is the yield?
Don’t waste time. At least a reference is given to search elsewhere.
Sad for their...”Read full review »

“In listening to the podcast I’ve heard repeatedly “teachers may be skeptical about change”. I think it’s quite the opposite. Teachers have known about the problems with the way in which we have taught decoding and comprehension for a long time. However our hands are tied with our curriculum. We...”Read full review »
