fabulous! I was Gonzaga-trained by Project FollowThrough zealots...early reading science experts. After almost 30 yrs of teaching I finally had a principal ask me how to improve what we were doing as a sped team. She's now listening to this podcast!
thank you so much for this. I couldn't read until the third grade. my mom got me glasses and enrolled me in an after school phonics program. I went from barely literate to reading the lion the witch and the wardrobe by myself in a year. I taught both my children to read with Bob's books bc I didn't trust the school. they both were solid readers by kindergarten.
