On Monday night at 7 p.m. on KTOO we present Hard Words: Why American Kids Aren’t Being Taught to Read (Release date: 9/10/18). More than half of American kids can’t read very well because schools are failing to provide effective reading instruction. Now, there is definitive evidence from neuroscience on how the brain learns to read, and it suggests very different approaches. This APM Reports documentary explores why the reading science is not making its way into American classrooms — or teacher preparation programs — and what can be done about it.
