Cautionary Tale Alert:

In the so-called ‘Science of Reading’ era, educators were sold a story about phonemic awareness, turning a little-known product into the *most-used curriculum* in US schools.

A faddish approach was packaged as a curriculum supplement, then boosted by SoR influencers, and it sold like hotcakes.

Today, it’s being walked back nationwide.

How'd this happen? Also, are curriculum reviewers working to ensure it doesn’t happen again?

Retrieval practice isn’t about putting students on the spot. Done well, it builds confidence, understanding, and long-term retention. This episode digs into that distinction.

Saban was a great leader.

And he may be the GOAT of college football coaching.
