TRT Podcast #202: How to cure the balanced literacy hangover – with Dr. Brent Conway & Jen Hogan

Dr. Brent Conway, school superintendent, and Jen Hogan, curriculum coordinator, have written a fascinating white paper, Early Literacy and the Balanced Literacy Hangover. Even though more schools and teachers are embracing the science of reading, “lingering beliefs and practices have become like a bad hangover that is tough to shake.” In this episode, Brent and Jen identify these beliefs and practices and share specific ways that teachers can move forward.
