https://readinghorizons.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Literacy-Talks-featured-image.png700442The reading pendulum is swinging, and in this episode of Literacy Talks, our reading experts talk candidly about how to frame and navigate the changing priorities and emphases. This conversation will give teachers and leaders valuable perspectives on the importance of focusing on foundational skills while still addressing all strands of literacy in instruction. The sciences of reading and learning can help guide the way, as early literacy instruction focuses first on phonics and then expands education to include all literacy components. It’s a “must-hear” episode!
