Der er en fremragende engelsksproget podcast om, hvordan man underviser i læsning i USA, og hvordan uddannelsessystemet har svigtet millioner af børn.

Den er også interessant for ikke-amerikanere. Jeg spekulerer på, hvordan situationen er i Danmark. Er der nogen danskere, der har lyttet til podcasten, som er villige til at dele deres mening?

Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong

There's an idea about how children learn to read that's held sway in schools for more than a generation — even though it was proven wrong by cognitive scientists decades ago. Teaching methods based on this idea can make it harder for children to learn how to read. In this new podcast, host Emily Hanford investigates the influential authors who promote this idea and the company that sells their work. It's an expose of how educators came to believe in something that isn't true and are now reckoning with the consequences — children harmed, money wasted, an education system upended.

I'm late to discovering it, but the #podcast series Sold a Story, about flawed science in teaching reading, is really good. It was a nice blend of fact-focused and narrative, and it seems to have really changed the conversation. And it's remarkable how long big publishing companies ignored the data on how teaching kids to guess at words rather than sound them out was never effective.

If you need a podcast to listen to, I highly recommend "Sold a Story" by Emily Hanford. It's about the science of teaching kids to read. As was the case for some of the featured kids, it was my mom who finally taught me to read, sometime after 3rd grade. So I'm a bit biased but I think it is of general interest, and should be a must-listen if you have kids entering school. #reading #books #pedagogy #teachers #teaching #kids #school #science #education #literacy #SoldAStory https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sold-a-story/id1649580473

@tdrummon @MichiganCJ I would encourage you to listen to the #SoldAStory #podcast for a compelling argument that supports science based #reading instructional practices while also addressing the issue of corporate peddling of programs that don't work.

I've never heard a podcast that actually made me angry 😡 Why, oh why, is *teaching* of all things something to make money out of, over educating kids, especially in the area of reading?? Absolutely bonkers.

Corinne Adams watches her son’s lessons during Zoom school and discovers a dismaying truth: He can’t read. Little Charlie isn’t the only one. Sixty-five percent of fourth graders are not proficient readers. Kids need to learn specific skills to become good readers, and in many schools, those skills are not being taught.

🚨A new front has opened up in the push to privatize #schools.🚨

At Fox News Jeb Bush explicitly cited #soldastory as a reason we need #AZEd #schoolvouchers. I walk through why this is a new “moderate” weapon to attack #publiceducation to appeal to parents turned off by the culture war version 👇

If you’re a researcher or educator, or both, this podcast is a must. It’s a baffling account of how we stopped teaching children how to read. Literally. https://features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/ #SoldAStory
