When life gives you meLons Reed & Drew

Let's talk about the science behind how we teach children to read.

In this episode, we go down the rabbit hole of letter reversal. Why is this so common? Is this a dyslexic characteristic? The answers may surprise you. Let's get down to the bottom of it all.

It's time to tell you about our merch store! We've had it up for a while and have been working out the kinks. It's time to launch that baby into orbit! Head over to https://the-melon-stand.creator-spring.com/ or to our Instagram bio @melons.podcast to view our line of merch. It's a great way to support the pod. Let us know what you like or would like to see in the future!

We've talked about it before but here we are again enlightening you on the brain. This time it's on how it learns! Let's have a conversation about that. Let's learn why we are the way we are!

Today we backtrack to the basics of phonics, the importance of decoding, and the purpose of repetition. It's way better than it sounds! Tag along with us sweet-ass dyslexic ladies and our mild ranting as usual!

This time around we get to hear from one of our hosts! Drew takings us through a bit of what it was like for her in public school as a dyslexic and the struggles she faced. Leaving us with the question - How do we make public education work for everyone?
