What a big day for the @latrobe #SOLARLab team with @ehanford receiving an Honorary Doctorate in acknowledgement of her enormous contribution to public and academic discourse on reading instruction. With yours truly, @tserry2504 & Prof Joanna Barbousas.

This series is so good. The events are recorded for everyone to watch, but if you are in the DC area and have an opportunity to attend a session live, do it!
I work with @PlanetWordDC on a speaker series. We created a video to share the story of what we've done over the past year. More to come in 2025... youtube.com/watch?v=uDKYfe…

I love hearing how teachers are responding to Sold a Story. This one is from teacher @Ashton_Venters.
Opinion: After years in the classroom, @Ashton_Venters was shocked by what she learned from the “Sold a Story” podcast. She recommends 10 action steps, including an emphasis on decoding, teacher training & support for parents. @ReadingHorizons @ehanford buff.ly/qFV3AsZ

Many schools rely on an organization called EdReports when deciding which reading programs to purchase. But there's a problem with that.
We turned our most recent Sold a Story episodes into a one-hour program for @reveal. You can hear it on public radio stations nationwide this weekend, and here: revealnews.org/podcast/readin…
We hosted @markseidenberg and @mcmacdonald at @PlanetWordDC to discuss "What's next in the science of reading?" We recorded it and now you can watch it: youtube.com/watch?v=mfeFw1…

Sold a Story was featured in this weekend’s New York Times: “This American Public Media podcast lays out how a deeply flawed teaching method took hold despite having been widely debunked by cognitive scientists.” nytimes.com/2025/03/29/art…
Our November Series Essential pick, Sold a Story, is back from hiatus with new reporting centered on an Ohio school district defying the odds. 📈 Join @ehanford as she discovers how this Rust Belt town is creating classes of good readers. apple.co/SAS

Sold a Story has a new mini-series. We found a high-poverty school district where nearly every kid can read well. They’ve been teaching the same way for 25 years. But a new law, inspired by our reporting, put that at risk. All three episodes are out now.
