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!

Charles Hulme, Maggie Snowling, Nickie Dubbs & Patti Durgan on Oral Language Development, Literacy Instruction & Effective Screening Practices | Big Sky Literacy Summit 2025 (135)
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.
