  • Phonics Companion

    I lived the episode about the Phonics Companion and would love to get my hands on a copy but it’s not available in the United States. Any ideas? The episode is so worth a listen if you haven’t heard it.

David Chalk: My Story
Q: What was the greatest thing of all for you?
We have no ultimate control over our life or the universe. We're just one tiny little dot spinning around in a galaxy on a rock, circling the sun, and we try to believe we can control it.
David Chalk: My Story
Q: What do you mean learn to read? You had had all of this success, yet you were functionally illiterate.
I wouldn't know back then, but in the last five years, I've spent most of my time going deep into cognitive science and the affect science of the brain, which looks at emotion.
David Chalk: My advice to parents...
Q: What advice would you give to a parent with a child struggling at school?
David emphasizes that unconditional love and providing a safe environment are crucial for fostering a child's curiosity and resilience, enabling them to overcome academic struggles.
Dr. Maria Murray: My Story
Q: When did you know that you wanted to get into education?
I didn't know what I wanted to be; I loved reading and history, so I got a history major and ended up teaching social studies.
Lyn Stone: My Thoughts on Morphology
Q: With students with phonological delays, have you found a morphological approach works for them?
Yes, if children have phonological delays, incorporating morphology can still be effective, as teaching them about morphemes can aid in their language development and understanding of words.
