First grade teachers are Nation Builders. My guest in the 5th episode of the #DearReadingTeacher Podcast is a first grade teacher in the United States. @MindfulTeacherRachel teaches children how to read every day. She is also a children’s author and advocates through social media for applying the “science of reading” research and evidence-based methods in classrooms. In this episode, @MindfulTeacherRachel gives Parents a checklist to help families determine which literacy resources are based on the science of reading research.
