“This podcast series is brilliant at sharing the problem so many of us voiced when we were forced to implement the system and not question it's validity. Fortunately, I worked in a school that allowed us to take what worked and dismiss what did not, but I can validate every issue. Emily illuminates is legitimate and was a concern for most of the teachers who were implementing the system. What I think is missing is that the program does amazing revolutionary job at teaching literacy in a way that did not exist before and there's no credit given for the transformational practices of balanced literacy. There are many. And I would also love some exploration of why the complaints of the teachers were not heard. But that said, the series was cathartic, accurate, and the blessing for those who questions so many the things we were told to do.”Read full review »

“Fascinating deep dive for those who are interested in the reading wars or simply wondering why so many students can’t read well”

“Emily Hanford has been the singular reliable journalism resource for where literacy currently stands. Should be required listen & reading for all educator programs, and anyone that works with children. Top notch reporting!”

“As a graduate of the programs that touted “whole language” and “balanced literacy”, I’m so grateful this is getting at the heart of what went so terribly wrong with how we taught reading.
Please share with fellow parents and administrators!”
