The Science of Reading - Part 2

Cailin and Shanida continue their deep dive into the Science of Reading, picking up where they left off last episode discussing the various aspects of reading education, with a focus on teaching effective reading strategies, and emphasizing the importance of explicit teaching and the role of phonics in developing reading skills. Their conversation in this episode highlights the need for balance in teaching methods and the significance of “small but mighty” strategies in the classroom.

Taking advantage of their summer schedules, this episode was recorded just a few days after episode 4. Cailin and Shanida catch up about the awful summer heat wave, Shanida’s follow-through with her summer goal to embrace rest, and Cailin’s working microphone, a little hand-foot-mouth in the house, and the installation of brand new backsplash. 

And most importantly, this episode includes a visit from TWO very special guests: Rye and Lola Kiefhaber, Cailin’s beautiful children! Listen all the way to the end to hear how our end credit tag was created!
