    Melissa & Lori Love Literacy ® | Science of Reading for Teachers

    Melissa & Lori Love Literacy® is a science of reading podcast for teachers who want to understand how reading really works and what that means for classroom instruction.

    Each month, Melissa & Lori explore topics in reading instruction by talking with researchers, authors, and classroom teachers who are bringing reading research into their classrooms.

    Melissa & Lori are like the teachers next door, now behind the mic. They learn alongside listeners and ask the same questions educators everywhere are asking: What does the research say about reading? What does strong literacy instruction actually look like in real classrooms? Through these conversations, the podcast helps bridge the gap between reading research and day-to-day teaching.

    Episodes explore topics including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, spelling, reading intervention, and other key areas of structured literacy instruction.

    Melissa & Lori help teachers think through what reading research can look like in their own classrooms.

    Ep. 167: The Relationship Between Phonics and Language Comprehension with Tiffany Hogan Nov 03, 2023
    Show notes

    Today talk to researcher Tiffany Hogan about language comprehension. We’ll start with the Simple View of Reading, exploring the relationship between phonics and language comprehension. Then we’ll discuss knowledge as the result of systematic and explicit language comprehension instruction and share approaches that work in the classroom - like read-alouds and discourse.

    Tiffany P. Hogan, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, Director of the Speech and Language (SAiL) Literacy Lab and the center for translational research, implementation science, and dissemination for equity in CSD, (cTIDE), Research Associate at Harvard University, and inaugural research affiliate for the Boston University Center for Anti-Racist Research.

    Episode 166: Quick Q&A: What is Developmental Language Disorder? Nov 01, 2023
    Show notes

    What is Developmental Language Disorder, or DLD?
    Developmental Language Disorder is a brain-based neurodevelopmental diversity - such as autism or dyslexia or dysgraphia. Students with DLD are six times more likely to have reading difficulties. DLD is a brain variation that makes it difficult to learn language from the environment.

    [LISTEN AGAIN] Ep. 128: Dear Balanced Literacy Teacher with Missy Purcell Oct 27, 2023
    Show notes

    From October 7, 2022
    In this episode, we talk with former balanced literacy teacher and parent, Missy Purcell. She authored a blog post titled Dear Balanced Literacy Teacher.
    Missy writes, “According to Nancy Young’s ladder of reading, roughly 10-15% of kids can figure out reading out with this type of instruction, but my child, who would later be diagnosed with dyslexia, would never be able to become a proficient reader with any version of balanced literacy. He, according to Young, like 85% of students, benefit from or need systematic explicit instruction that follows a scope and sequence with fidelity to become proficient readers and writers.”
    We want to normalize the idea that most kids CAN learn how to read with structured literacy instruction.

    Ep. 165: How Brains Learn to Read and Dyslexia with Nadine Gaab Oct 20, 2023
    Show notes

    Nadine Gaab, Associate Professor of Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, joins us on the podcast to talk about how brains learn to read. Reading development starts in utero because the fundamental milestones for learning to read are sounds and language processing. Brain research shows us the brain of children learning to read is different in struggling readers. Dr. Gaab debunks dyslexia myths and connects the importance of early screening and intervention for dyslexia.

    Ep. 164: Misconceptions about Learning to Read with Carolyn Strom Oct 06, 2023
    Show notes

    Ever wondered why reading isn't as natural as speech? Carolyn Strom, an accomplished early literacy expert, reveals that unlike speech, reading doesn't come naturally. In fact, it requires well-structured, explicit instruction which we'll discuss in this episode.
    The importance of a structured approach to teaching reading cannot be understated. We'll be taking a deep look at the role of decodable texts, progress monitoring, phonemic awareness activities, and the necessity of a proper scope and sequence. And for those who believe that word memorization is the ultimate key to learning to read, prepare to have that myth debunked. Carolyn introduces the concept of mapping – associating the visual form of a word with its sounds and meaning, a vital aspect in learning to read.
    As we delve further into the episode, we look into how critical practice and spoken language are in the reading process. Discover how word games can transform skill drills into an engaging and exciting experience for kids. We also have valuable insights for those working with bilingual or multilingual learners, as we discuss the significance of building spoken language and conceptual knowledge, which play a major role in comprehension. Finally, we'll discuss creating a conducive environment for students to learn and provide resources for further exploration. Join us for this captivating and educational journey into the world of early literacy.

    [Listen Again] Ep. 109: The Right to Read with Second Language Educator, Kim Lockhart Sep 22, 2023
    Show notes

    From May 2022
    Kim Lockhart, Canadian French immersion teacher and special educator in Kingston, Ontario, shares how she meets the needs of students in her classroom. As stated in a recent report, Right to Read inquiry report from Ontario Human Rights Commission, Ontario is removing the three cueing system completely from all materials and turning to reading science instead. In this episode, Kim models what an evidence-based phonics lesson might entail. In second language programs, it’s necessary for students to build language comprehension by attaching meaning to decoding.

Kyair and Katie are funny, smart, and have incredible learner-mindsets. They discuss the engagement of their students in texts and tasks, how Wit & Wisdom provides equity and opportunity, and their thoughts on teaching with an integrated (not isolated) curricula - a shift in mindset from the way "school was done" previously.

    2. What is a goal you have this year connected to reading science?

    Listen and learn as fellow educators share about what big things are happening in their classrooms aligned to reading science.
