What does research tell us about the Big 5?

TRT Podcast#49: SOR Bootcamp #5 – What does research say about the Big 5?

In this episode we’ll examine the research and make practical applications to our teaching. Share this 6-week podcast series with friends who want to learn more about the science of reading.
