The Literacy View
The Literacy View podcast is dedicated to providing educators and parents with Breaking News and cutting-edge research in literacy instruction. Nicknamed by one of their listeners as the “Spice Girls of Literacy,” Faith and Judy, two veteran educators who still work in the trenches, bring their expertise, senses of humor, and passion for literacy instruction to the show, making it an engaging and informative experience for listeners. Never shying away from controversial topics and guests, and frequently disagreeing with each other, the hosts break down complex research into easy-to-understand takeaways and provide actionable solutions that teachers and parents can use in their classrooms and at home. And, they are never afraid to good-naturedly call BS or cheer on their guests or each other when a point or item of discussion excites them. In fact, they have “BS” and “cheer” buttons at the ready for that very purpose! With their engaging format and wealth of knowledge, Faith and Judy are sure to help you take your teaching to the next level! It is no wonder that so many of their guests and listeners consider the Literacy View their favorite, can’t-miss podcast in the literacy space. Have fun and learn at the same time!

College Students Aren’t Reading with Donna Hejtmanek
Article: “The College Kids Are Not All Right”
Reports from professors point to an alarming decline in cognitive capabilities, even at selective institutions by Natalie Wexler
June 2, 2024

Quote:
“Students are intimidated by anything over 10 pages and seem to walk away from readings of as little as 20 pages with no real understanding.”
“We are in new territory when even highly motivated honors students struggle to grasp the basic argument of a 20-page article.”
Why is this happening? What are the reasons for the decline?
