We've got something new on the Sold a Story feed today. It's an episode from our colleagues at @Brains_On, a science podcast for kids from APM. It's about why learning how to read can be so hard.

Today in the Sold a Story feed, @ehanford joins the hosts of @brains_on to talk about how people learn to read.
Grab the kids in your life and listen to this special episode made for kids and curious adults. https://t.co/SYMfbawReq
More on What the Words Say:
A false assumption about what it takes to be a skilled reader has created deep inequalities among U.S. children, putting many on a difficult path in life. https://t.co/dVkp2W8g2G
This week in the Sold a Story feed, we rereleased our 2020 documentary What the Words Say. Find all the ways to subscribe and listen at https://t.co/DL49XD23xM.
More on At a Loss for Words:
For decades, schools have taught using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't know there's anything wrong with it. https://t.co/JjwuQSXKWZ
To analyze whether former county commissioner Vaughn Hartung was being tracked, @jenpenned compared geolocation data from the GPS tracking device with Hartung’s work calendar and building access log.
Two private investigators accused of tracking local politicians in Nevada have refused to publicly name their clients, but records show one is connected to major far-right donor Robert Beadles.
Our collaboration with @KUNRPublicRadio and @TheNVIndy: https://t.co/kQ1tmeChLr
My latest investigation w @jenpenned@tabitha_mueller at the @TheNVIndy and @KUNRPublicRadio focuses on how private detectives have taken opposition research to new levels in Northern Nevada with the use of electronic trackers and gumshoe surveillance.
We’re putting our previous audio documentaries about reading on the Sold a Story feed. First up, Hard to Read. It’s about why kids with dyslexia have a hard time getting the help they need in school. It’s where Sold a Story started, six years ago. https://t.co/4u2f6pBb8C
More on Hard to Read:
We looked at why kids with dyslexia have a hard time getting the help they need in school. It was originally published in September 2017. https://t.co/pUHcfNHZ60
Yesterday we rereleased @ehanford's documentary Hard to Read on the Sold a Story feed. Followers probably noticed.
We're going to do that the next few weeks with our previous docs on reading. Then we'll be back April 20 with a new episode of Sold a Story. https://t.co/DL49XD1vIe

🧵We adapted Sold a Story for @reveal. It's been airing on public radio stations this weekend. You can hear it on the Reveal podcast too. https://t.co/XlBKPjTezA 1/5
Two-thirds of American kids can't read proficiently! Eighth graders actually read worse than in 1998. So maybe there's a problem with how we teach reading? We've learned from neuroscience and experiments about how to fix this, and we don't. So kids lose: https://t.co/moiobNqtEW
There’s a theory about how kids learn to read that’s been proven wrong by cognitive scientists.
New on Reveal, we explore how teaching materials based on this flawed theory made it into classrooms all over the country. https://t.co/41yHN8Fl5M
Excited to partner with @reveal on an adaptation of Sold a Story, coming to radio stations and Reveal podcast listeners on Feb 11. @prx@apmreports
