Reach All Readers

Anna is always well prepared to interview her guests. She is an outstanding host. She goes into topics deeply, and I always feel her sessions provide new insights and/or confirmation of understanding.

I’ve been a fan of Anna through her podcast, and now her excellent book, for years. I am an avid podcast consumer, and Anna was built for podcasting. She is genuine, knowledgeable, generous, engaging, and she thinks well on the fly, always asking insightful questions of her guests. It doesn’t hurt that she has a great voice for podcasting as well. I look forward to every episode. Her recent series on the great work in the Cudahy schools gives me hope that we actually can teach all kids to read. Thank you, Anna. I really don’t know how you do all of this with six kids. I felt very busy raising two!

Anna is INVESTED in being knee deep in the Science of Reading research — and it shows. She’s honestly one of the smartest women I know. She is an expert at delivering information clearly and concisely — and without bias. I especially appreciate when she speaks to differing approaches grounded in research, bringing light to the fact that there’s not just one way to teach a concept. This podcast — and her book— are a must for anyone who wants to learn more about the Science of Reading research in practice.

Anna GETS what it’s like to be a teacher. Her episodes are brief but have the greatest nuggets of information and tips that you can use the SAME DAY to help your students. This podcast was the PERFECT introduction to the Science of Reading. It’s where I, as an 18 year veteran teacher, first learned the basics of SoR. She does not talk down to you, but presents in a way that puts you at ease and excites you to try new things all at once. I recommend this to ALL teachers, coaches, administrators- everyone!! I listen to many literacy podcasts, and many times, the others reference Anna’s podcast and her expertise.
