The Literacy View
The Literacy View podcast is dedicated to providing educators and parents with Breaking News and cutting-edge research in literacy instruction. Nicknamed by one of their listeners as the “Spice Girls of Literacy,” Faith and Judy, two veteran educators who still work in the trenches, bring their expertise, senses of humor, and passion for literacy instruction to the show, making it an engaging and informative experience for listeners. Never shying away from controversial topics and guests, and frequently disagreeing with each other, the hosts break down complex research into easy-to-understand takeaways and provide actionable solutions that teachers and parents can use in their classrooms and at home. And, they are never afraid to good-naturedly call BS or cheer on their guests or each other when a point or item of discussion excites them. In fact, they have “BS” and “cheer” buttons at the ready for that very purpose! With their engaging format and wealth of knowledge, Faith and Judy are sure to help you take your teaching to the next level! It is no wonder that so many of their guests and listeners consider the Literacy View their favorite, can’t-miss podcast in the literacy space. Have fun and learn at the same time!

Thank YOU Judy & Faith!!!—- Meaning is SO left out of some of these “Cookbook” Reading Methods !!!! What’s the use of being able to make the sounds aloud.....if you don’t know what the words mean ....and/ or how to apply them to enhance everyday life ? We also teach to foster communication skills as in the classical model of education-- grammar , logic and rhetoric! Thanks always for your open dialogue!! It is more than refreshing! I always learn from you both and greatly appreciate your honesty and transparency!
