Episode 352 - So You Want to Teach Reading w/ Dr. Denise Ross + Dr. Douglas Greer

Returning to the show with a brand new book in tow, we're joined by Dr. Denise Ross and Dr. Doug Greer to talk all about the research behind teaching reading and reading comprehension skills, as put into their edited work, When Text Speaks. We go deep into the foundations of reading instruction, from learning units in the strategic science of teaching planning arenas to classroom management and books as conditioned reinforcers in the "helping kids actually enjoy the process of books" arenas. And that's before decoding, teaching metaphors, and scaling instruction to the classroom and into upper education. Plus some of your favorite Book Club bits like Rob's general review of the last line. It's a smorgasbord of fun reading research!

This episode is available for 1.5 LEARNING CEU.
