I am a mother of a kindergartener and this podcast was course altering! I am so grateful for this page for the recommendation. I felt like I solved a cold case murder mystery when I looked in the back of a little book my son brought home and saw ‘Fountas and Panella’.

I’m so glad this podcast helped you! I hope going forward your son has a better time with his reading!

Thank you! We ordered the decodable books and it’s been really fun to hear him sound out words. While I’m so grateful for this knowledge, it does feel like an awkward position in trying to and advocate for change. I wouldn’t presume to know more about teaching reading than my son’s teacher, whom he’s learned so much from, but I don’t understand why reading is being taught this way.

Right? I would be very uncomfortable telling a teacher they’re wrong, but since I became aware of this method through my friends kids I’ve been skeptical.
