Transforming Reading Instruction: Legislative and Personal Shifts in Education

On today’s show, host of APM Reports’ “Sold a Story” podcast Emily Hanford joins Kimberly to make us smarter about the science of reading movement. It’s gained a foothold over the past few years (thanks in part to “Sold a Story”). But the Trump administration’s cuts to the Department of Education could slow the momentum of reading research and the effort to share it with educators.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• "Episode 14: The Cuts" from “Sold a Story”
• "$900 Million in Institute of Education Sciences Contracts Axed" from Inside Higher Ed
• "How legislation on reading instruction is changing across the country" from APM Reports
• "What to Know About the Science of Reading" from The New York Times
