Sold a Story fans - we've got something new.

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

We've got another event coming up at Planet Word. This is our third conversation focused on the critical question: What can educators and researchers learn from each other? https://t.co/eacHlr5HQx

In other news, Season 2 of Sold a Story is coming ... more details soon!

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

I'm going to be giving a keynote at the Educator Summit - about the reporting behind Sold a Story, the response it set in motion, some of the questions shaping Season 2 of the podcast (coming this Fall).

Excellent piece by @LianaLoewus. Highly recommend for teachers and everyone interested in the science of reading. https://t.co/v9gps8ovmn

Turning reading research into practice - a new event at @PlanetWordDC on Saturday, April 25th. @tiffanyphogan will share what she’s seen in schools and talk about what education can learn from other fields, including medicine, about translational science. https://t.co/k5VIjyQgU4

Did you know there's a new episode of Sold a Story? It's from a live event @PlanetWordDC - about what teachers and scientists can learn from each other and the difficulty of translating research into practice. https://t.co/4RMgfRTceq

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

There's a video of the @PlanetWordDC "Eyes on Reading" event with neuroscientist Reid Lyon and teacher Margaret Goldberg - and you can watch it now. https://t.co/67G4AIrhhQ

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

This Saturday morning in Washington, DC, at @PlanetWordDC. I'd love to see you there.

Come for the conversation with Reid Lyon and Margaret Goldberg.

Stay for the museum of words and language!

"Solitude, slowness and sustained attention are no longer default states but acts of resistance. And as those conditions erode, so too does the possibility of the moral work that deep reading once quietly performed.” https://t.co/ZxSii5Nj2b

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

Digital distractions are taking a toll, hijacking kids’ ability to engage their working memory on difficult texts and problems. That kind of laser-like focus is rapidly disappearing from our lives... https://t.co/ZxSii5Nj2b

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

"There’s this strange disappearance of humility before the incredible complexity of the world. It’s sort of an epidemic. The deep value in checking is just as a confirmation of how hard it is to know stuff." https://t.co/68dWCKSV9w

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

@Moms4FAPE @Dale_Chu @alexanderrusso @CLPeak @ElizaBillingham In what way?

[Christopher Peak @CLPeak]

In the past three years since Sold a Story’s first episodes came out, 26 states have enacted laws to better align reading instruction with scientific research.

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

We've updated our story on states with new reading laws since Sold a Story. Now more than half the states. https://t.co/lDlYfY3Yyn @CLPeak @ElizaBillingham

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

Sold a Story has a new episode - #14.

And we're working on Season 2.

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

Sold a Story was part of a longer reporting journey that started w/dyslexia, moved to core reading instruction and teacher prep, and got to core ideas and beliefs about reading and where they come from. You can find it all on our website and podcast feed. https://t.co/F6Nd8mkeGV

[Marilyn Muller @1in5advocacy]

I just listened to the latest 'Sold a Story' podcast by @ehanford, which explores how to translate reading research into classroom practice—an important discussion. However, it overlooks a critical issue: most colleges of education ignore or dismiss this research entirely. This is the root of the problem, and addressing it is essential for meaningful change in K-3 reading instruction.

Neither additional taxpayer funding nor more publicly funded reading research will fix our fundamentally flawed education system. 👇

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

Yes. Please listen to Hard Words. https://t.co/v8jLwiKcw6
And there’s always more to report on.

@1in5advocacy @ehanford Teacher prep is a key issue, no doubt. I know that the series has touched on this before and hope they do again in the future.
