Shannon and Mary chat with Ann Geiger from The Measured Mom about how  readers orthographically stores words in their reading brains.  This episode follows our overview of the reading brain, where we talked about the reader's journey to whole word recognition and how reading teachers can help their readers bolt on the orthography to what students already know in spoken language and language comprehension.  In this episode, we go into greater detail about best practices to do in the classrooms to help your students gain this meaningful letter sequence storage.
