The One About…
Is ‘Sold a Story’ an incomplete and oversimplified picture of reading?
Nick Covington’s view
“My goal with this piece is to capture the questions and criticisms that I have not just about the narrative of Sold A Story but of the broader movement toward “The Science of Reading,” and bring in other evidence and perspectives that inform my own. I hope to make the case that “The Science of Reading” is not a useful label to describe the multiple goals of literacy; that investment in teacher professionalization is inoculation against being Sold A Story; and that the unproductive and divisive Reading Wars actually make it more difficult for us to think about
how to cultivate literate kids.” – Nick Covington Nick Covington bio:
Nick is the creative director for the Human Restoration Project and former high school Social Studies teacher in Iowa public Schools. He promotes progressive education across the board. Nick aims to reestablish the idea of what school could be to one of student-centered success that relies on their ideas and knowledge instead of a dictated “future-ready” curriculum.
