In this episode, I catch up with Natalie Wexler to discuss her new book, Beyond the Science of Reading. Our wide-ranging conversation covers often underrepresented areas of the science of reading, including the importance of background knowledge for comprehension, cognitive load theory, and explicit writing instruction.

Looking to Improve Your Coaching and PD Program?
As an instructional coach and school leader, I grew tired of bad PD and struggled to embed the ideas of this podcast into classrooms. I read the books, I went to the webinars, and I made up my own system by combining a hodgepodge of resources and strategies. I needed a better approach if I was going to make real and sustainable changes. One day I stumbled upon Steplab, which streamlined my coaching and enabled peer observation, targeted PLCs, and evidence-based whole school PD. Now, as the Director of Steplab North America, I want to invite you to join over 14,000 schools and 100,000 educators who are using Steplab.
Just e-mail hello@steplab.co or use my Contact Page and I will get you up and running with a demo and implementation support.
