S10 E04: Decoding Misconceptions in Reading Education with Timothy Shanahan
<p dir="ltr">In this episode of The School Leadership Show, I interview acclaimed author and reading expert Timothy Shanahan. We delve into Timothy's new book, <a href= "https://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/publications/bibliography-leveled-reading-leveled-lives"> 'Leveled Reading, Leveled Lives'</a> discussing the troubling stagnation in U.S. reading levels and how traditional approaches to reading instruction have failed over the decades.<br /> <br /> Timothy critiques the widespread but ineffective method of using leveled readers and advocates for teaching grade-level texts with appropriate support. The conversation covers historical and contemporary research, the evolution of instructional strategies, and practical advice for school administrators to help improve reading achievement across all grades.<br /> <br /> Learn more and visit Tim's website <a href= "https://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/">https://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/</a>.<br /> <br /></p> <p>If you have questions, feedback, or suggestions for future episodes, including great non-education books with lessons for school leaders you can email me at <strong><a href= "mailto:Dr.mike.doughty@gmail.com">Dr.mike.doughty@gmail.com</a></strong>.</p> <p>I would really appreciate it if you could leave a rating and review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
