Why do so many students struggle with reading? In a recent radio documentary for APM Reports, Emily Hanford says that the science on how to teach reading is clear, and yet it’s not being used in elementary classrooms today. In this Facebook Live conversation, we discuss what the reading research says, why there’s still debate about how to teach early reading, and what teachers may or may not be learning in their training.

In this Leaders and Learning in Literacy webcast Emily Hanford, senior producer and correspondent for American Public Media Reports, discusses her recently released documentary, At a Loss for Words. In the documentary, Hanford explores the history of the three-cueing system and explains the cognitive science that proves it wrong. She shows what three-cueing looks like in the classroom, documents the harm it does to children, and visits Oakland, California classrooms.
