In this episode of TLP, I am thrilled to have Dr. Shayne Piasta on the show. Dr. Piasta is a listener-favorite from Episode 37 and is joining us to discuss alphabet instruction. Our conversation comes from an excellent chapter she wrote in the newly-released Handbook on the Science of Early Literacy (Cabell et al., 2023). If you enjoyed her insights from Episode 37 on early literacy, you won’t want to miss this interview.

Dr. Piasta is is Professor of Reading and Literacy in Early and Middle Childhood in the Department of Teaching and Learning at The Ohio State University
