I had the pleasure of being a guest on the De Facto Leaders podcast, and the episode is out now!
In the interview we discussed:
- What it’s like to be a struggling reader (we both share our lived experiences).
- How to discover your niche as a clinician.
- Why evidence-based reading instruction is not just another trend.
- How the Science of Reading has evolved.
- Reading as a basic human right: It’s impact on access to higher education and career opportunities.
- Finding your people and uncovering your version of clinical leadership.
You can also read the blog Advocating for the Right to Read and Becoming a Literacy Leader.
I am so passionate about literacy, and I loved having the opportunity to share my knowledge with others! I hope you listen to the podcast episode and learn something new about literacy.
