Episode-(142)

🎤Why are so many boys tuning out of reading and writing and what can we actually do about it?

In this episode of The Literacy View, we rip into the research, the myths, and the real classroom strategies that matter most. The numbers don’t lie. In Australia, more than half of Year 9 boys are failing writing, and the story isn’t much different around the globe. It’s time to talk about why and how we can flip the script.

🔥 Inside this episode

📊 The hard data on boys and literacy gaps and why it keeps getting worse

💣 The BS myths about “what boys like” that shut doors instead of opening them

📚 High interest texts and strategies that actually get boys reading

🛠️ Practical moves educators and parents can use tomorrow

Phonemic Awareness Guide: Is It Accurate? Science of Reading Truth Bomb for Educators (140) Sep 08, 2025

We asked the big question: Is the Phonemic Awareness Guide actually accurate, or is it just another round of literacy fluff?

In this episode, Faith and I throw down a Science of Reading truth bomb 💣 and break it all the way down. No jargon. No sugarcoating. Just what works, what doesn’t, and how to make phonemic awareness stick for kids.

Here’s where we go:

🔥 Why phonemic awareness is non-negotiable for K–1, ELLs, and struggling readers

🔥 The quick 5-minute routines we use for blending, segmenting, and deletion

🔥 The myths we’re done with (like “PA stops at blending”) — and what the research really says

🔥 How we do error correction that teaches without shaming

🔥 Why honoring dialect differences matters in every classroom

🔥 How deletion + substitution fuel orthographic mapping so kids actually remember words

This isn’t another PD handout. It’s the No-BS educator’s guide to phonemic awareness — practical, research-backed, and classroom-tested.

Charles Hulme and Maggie Snowling share decades of research on reading development, dyslexia, and oral language. They explain why knowing how to teach is as vital as what to teach, clear up myths that can derail instruction, and spotlight evidence from interventions like NELI. Research shows that boosting spoken language early provides children with more resources to apply during independent and teacher directed learning, leading to stronger reading and broader academic success. The evidence is sufficient and the tools now exist to assess and teach spoken language in the early grades.”

Major Takeaways from the Research:

Boosting oral language early leads to gains beyond language, impacting reading and overall learning.
Instructional success depends on both what is taught and how it is taught.
Myths and faulty beliefs can reduce the effectiveness of reading interventions.
Tools like NELI provide scalable, evidence-based ways to strengthen early spoken language skills.
