  • Ep. 122 – Reading Comprehension Loses Out In The Classroom‼️ Language Is The Real MVP—Backed by Evidence!
    2025/04/29

    Send us a text

    This episode might challenge everything you once believed!

    In this evidence-grounded episode, we kick off with Jill Barshay’s March 2025 Hechinger Report deep-dive—“Proof Points: Reading Comprehension in the Classroom” (read it here)—which shows teachers spend under 25 percent of their reading block on genuine comprehension work and almost zero time on text-based talk.

    Doug Petersen and Trina Spencer—classroom teachers turned education scientists and founders of Language Dynamics Group—use those “proof points” as a launchpad to share why they walked away from one-size-fits-none interventions and built something better:

    ❤️ Their evidence-first origin: witnessing multilingual and economically diverse learners get lost in decoding drills led them to found tools (CUBED, PEARL, DYMOND, Story Champs®) rooted in solid research evidence—and designed to be Implementation Ready, not extra paperwork.

    🧠 Research you can see: unpacking Scarborough’s Reading Rope alongside Beck & McKeown’s vocabulary studies, they demonstrate how just minutes of data-backed, teacher-led discussions unlock deeper thinking, richer text connections, and measurable comprehension gains.

    If you’ve ever stared at comprehension questions and wondered why they flop—or if you’re craving talk strategies backed by hard evidence that actually fit into a busy teaching day—this episode is your MVP playbook. Tune in and let language—and real, research-driven evidence—lead the way! ❤️❤️❤️

  • Ep.120-Literacy in Community with LINC- “Parents as Literacy Partners”

    Literacy in Community with LINC NYC

    The powerful influence of early language on later reading suggests that language intervention programs combining phonological, morphological and semantic activities may help to reduce the incidence of reading problems.

    Article- Journal of Research in Reading - Wiley Online Library
    https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/1467-9817.12312

    LINC Guests: Josh Barocas, Director of Early Literacy at LINC, where he works with his team to develop and deliver literacy workshops for parents and educators. As a college student, Josh developed an interest in neuroscience, psychology and linguistics and spent most of his time interning on various research projects across these fields. A job managing a language development laboratory revealed his passion for working with children, and he soon began teaching elementary school. Under the mentorship of a veteran learning specialist, Josh's interests coalesced into a career in early literacy. After several years teaching as a literacy specialist and completing a master's in literacy, Josh moved out of the school setting to work as Program Director at CUNY Reading Corps, where he trained college students, graduate students, teachers and Universal Literacy coaches in research-based reading interventions. He is grateful to bring his experience to the community setting in his work with LINC.

    Laura Walsh, Chief Program Officer is a seasoned leader in the non-profit sector and a dedicated literacy specialist with a Master’s Degree in Special Education and Literacy from St. John’s University. With deep expertise in early literacy, adult learning theory, and educator training, she has spent her career championing equity through literacy access for all—starting with our youngest learners. Laura has trained Universal Literacy Coaches across New York City and served as a Program Manager for the Literacy Trust, where she worked to strengthen early literacy initiatives. Currently, as Chief Program Officer at Literacy Inc. (LINC), she leads innovative programs that invest in children, families, and entire communities—including educators—to create a culture of reading.
