Ep.156🌶️ Value: This episode breaks down the article everyone’s talking about and asks the hard question it raises: If synthetic phonics has been mandated for years, why haven’t outcomes for struggling readers changed? We talk directly with Dominic Wyse about the research, the data, and what gets lost when literacy policy becomes rigid instead of responsive. Promise: You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what the research actually says, where policy oversimplifies reading instruction, and why real classrooms demand more than one approach. No slogans. No extremes. Just an honest, uncomfortable conversation that respects teachers, centers kids, and refuses to pretend this debate is settled.

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. 💜🙌🏻 Your thoughts? “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.

Send us a text We asked the big question: Is the Phonemic Awareness Guide actually accurate, or is it just another round of literacy fluff? In this episode, Faith and I throw down a Science of Reading truth bomb 💣 and break it all the way down. No jargon. No sugarcoating. Just what works, what doesn’t, and how to make phonemic awareness stick for kids. Here’s where we go: 🔥 Why phonemic awareness is non-negotiable for K–1, ELLs, and struggling readers 🔥 The quick 5-minute routines we use for blending, segmenting, and deletion 🔥 The myths we’re done with (like “PA stops at blending”) — and what the research really says 🔥 How we do error correction that teaches without shaming 🔥 Why honoring dialect differences matters in every classroom 🔥 How deletion + substitution fuel orthographic mapping so kids actually remember words This isn’t another PD handout. It’s the No-BS educator’s guide to phonemic awareness — practical, research-backed, and classroom-tested. 🔗 Resources We Mention Rosner Test of Auditory Analysis Skills (TAAS)Phonological Awareness Screening Test (PAST)💬 Sound Off What’s the worst phonemic awareness myth you still hear in PD or curriculum training?
