This is our February 2025 exclusive bonus episode of Reading Teachers Lounge podcast.  In these bonus episodes, Shannon and Mary will share about the students they're helping in reading, the resources they're using, and the books and other materials they're studying to further their practical knowledge about the Science of Reading.  

We start this episode with an apology and explanation for the missing January episode and the delay in publishing this one.  (Back in January, Shannon's computer crashed unexpectedly and they lost 3 regular podcast episodes and the January bonus episode in the hard drive crash).

In this February 2025 bonus episode, Shannon and Mary provide details about their tutoring students of various ages and how they're using different curriculum resources with their readers.    Mary shares how she's having courageous conversations with teachers, parents, and administrators through her advocacy work.  Shannon and Mary chat about the resources they're using with their tutoring students:  Bookworms, Morpheme Magic, Write Score Super Sentences, SWI, and Word Matrices.  Check out the links below for more information about the resources mentioned.
