Description:

While the pandemic has challenged literacy development and outcomes for many students – that doesn’t mean America is currently in a literacy crisis. Harvard Professor Catherine Snow, a pioneer with decades of research in language and literacy development, says she’s puzzled by the public discourse about a literacy crisis. 

There are many districts that did well weathering the storm of COVID. Snow reminds that the negative impacts on children’s reading test scores is not evenly distributed. 

In this episode of the EdCast, Snow discusses the current state of American literacy, and how despite knowing what works, we continue to question and confuse various modes of instruction and the science of reading.
