Truth be told, I adore Melissa & Lori! They truly have a heart for helping teachers through this podcast outlet. Week after week, I’m so impressed with the quality of guests they have on the show… the researchers, the real experts, and trusted voices in the Science of Reading community. Kudos to making the evidence accessible with this fabulous podcast!

I really enjoy the interviews on here and learn from the expert guests. But, please, for the love of all things holy, stop the nervous giggling. It’s so distracting.

Wow so much jargon invented and theoretical. Explanations complicated. I’ve got advanced degrees and I still couldn’t easily apply the concepts.

I have been listening to this podcast for a while and continue to be impressed by the various perspectives of the guests who are interviewed. This podcast is a great intro to structured literacy and also beneficial/worthwhile for people who already know a fair amount about the topic. I love to keep learning and Melissa and Lori do a great job interviewing their guests, often asking the same questions I am asking while I listen

Thank you so much for the incredible interview with Ameer Baraka! The work we do as reading teachers and literacy leaders is incredibly important, and Ameer’s story was inspiring. I will pay it forward in my next YouTube video!

As a literacy specialist, I am always looking to learn more about how our brains learn to read. This podcast keeps me up to date on the latest research, especially when I don’t have time to sit down and do a lot of reading! I love to listen to it to and from work for inspiration! The information is quick, digestible, and rooted in research!

As a curriculum specialist, I’ve found this podcast very helpful. The caliber of guests, relevant research, and practical tips make this podcast top on my list. I love the joy you both bring to education, and you clearly want your guests to feel welcome and comfortable, but I do find the giggling a little distracting. Maybe trim that and save for mini behind-the-scenes episodes??

Every episode is a professional learning goldmine. And I love how the hosts always bring it back to practical application in the classroom for educators.

I’v learned so much from The Melissa and Lori Love Literacy podcast. I’ve worked in various capacities in the field of education for over 30 years and I love learning. I spend a lot of time reading and watching resources. Even with all this knowledge I continue to learn so much from the discussions had on this podcast. I love digging into a topic with multiple people over several episodes. Many times my thoughts and practices are affirmed but even better I take away some nugget that really makes a difference in what I’m doing with readers or how I’m approaching it. Thank you Melissa and Lori! I can’t wait for your book to publish!

I am so grateful for this podcast! I teach at a small, Christian school where we are limited in resources. I have learned so much from listening to these episodes and then purchasing books to read! I am a veteran teacher of 23 years, yet I still have so much to learn! I’m super thankful for the free resources offered to help our society get back to evidence based literacy instruction! ❤️
