If you’ve listened to this show, you know how much we love to read. Yet a huge percentage of individuals will graduate from high school lacking the proficiency to learn effectively through reading. Since this statistic is anathema to us, we called up two folks writing the book on the subject, Drs. Denise Ross-Page and R. Douglas Greer. We discuss breaking down literacy skills into behavioral components, the differences between reading-to-learn and learning-to-read, and how the science of teaching can improve both outcomes. Also, is it possible to make reading a conditioned reinforcer for everyone?
This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
