Shannon and Mary chat with Dr. Janet Mort, who has fifty years of experience in the field of education and reading.    We discuss the Simple View of Reading and how that affected reading instruction in the 1980s and 1990s.    Dr. Mort then shares how the research following the Simple View of Reading has shifted and become more defined.  This discussion provides context to reading research over the last few decades and helps reading teachers understand how Science of Reading discoveries impact classroom instruction.
