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!

The Literacy View
Overteaching or Overreacting? Seidenberg Lights a Match."
Ep. 155
We had a surprise guest: Mark Seidenberg!🙌🏻
💜 Value & Promise
In this episode, educators are invited into a research conversation that is still unfolding.
You’ll hear Mark Seidenberg discuss his latest article while educators engage in real time with questions, reactions, and pushback.
This episode offers
• A window into how researchers think aloud as ideas are examined, questioned, and clarified
• Space to sit with uncertainty rather than rushing to conclusions
• Insight into the complexity surrounding structured literacy, overteaching, and instructional balance
• A shared starting point for continued inquiry
Our promise for this episode is transparency.
We are actively working through what the research suggests and what it may mean for classrooms. Many listeners are asking for deeper research and greater clarity around implementation, and we hear you. We will be digging further into the evidence and continuing this conversation in future episodes.
If you value thoughtful exploration, intellectual honesty, and research discussed in community, this episode delivers.
No BS.
Just real research, real questions, and a commitment to keep going. 💜🙌🏻

“Although the authorities in this field usually acknowledge the obvious point that nondyslexics do not need as much instruction as dyslexics, in practice the adoption of ‘structured literacy’ has led to overteaching.” - Mark Seidenberg
This is us (Faith Borkowsky and Judy Boksner Damski) and The Literacy View-Real Teachers Letting Loose community, in an open, uncensored chat digging into his latest article together.
