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!

Fan Mail
Hi Faith and Judy! Love your show! Just listened to the show with Joan Sedita re: comprehension. What I would love to see/hear is a conversation AMONG Joan Sedita, Sharon Vaughn, Jennifer Serravallo, Daniel Willingham, Nancy Hennessy, Natalie Wexler (anyone else?) discussing what we know and understand about teaching comprehension now. Each of these people have spoken and written articles and/or books on the topic, but do they ever speak to each other, in public? I find it VERY confusing to hear (or read) each of them speak in their silos, i.e., in different venues and platforms, and then try to make sense of, and apply day to day, what is best practice? What do you think? I have this feeling that I am not the only “confused” one… Thank you for considering my question!
