The Literacy View podcast is dedicated to providing educators and parents with Breaking News and cutting-edge research in literacy instruction.

In fact, they have “BS” and “cheer” buttons at the ready for that very purpose! With their engaging format and wealth of knowledge, Faith and Judy are sure to help you take your teaching to the next level!
