Welcome to The Middle School Café Podcast—a show designed specifically for middle school ELA teachers who want to help their students become confident, independent readers. I'm Carolyn Wahl, a veteran teacher with over 20 years of experience, and I’ve made it my mission to support students who struggle with reading by bridging the gap between where they are and where they need to be.
In this podcast, I share real-world strategies, practical tips, and research-backed methods to help middle school teachers foster a love of reading in their classrooms. Whether you're navigating how to support below-grade-level readers or trying to make independent reading more meaningful, you're in the right place.
Subscribe and join me each week for honest conversations, classroom-tested ideas, and encouragement to keep going. Let’s turn reading into something your students actually look forward to!
Be sure to join the Secondary ELA Facebook group where the conversation continues.
