Sold a Story

Our take on Sold a Story podcast

Cognitive scientists have long disputed the model implemented to help children learn how to read. However, this has not stopped the model's proponents from continuing its use and encouraging comprehensive implementation. As a result, the current education system is considered highly flawed, especially for children. Emily Hanford discusses the fundamentals of influential authors whose work supports the seemingly ineffective learning models. Looking into companies that distribute their work as well, this podcast digs deep into the heart of the ailing education system. You will understand how educators have gotten it wrong and the inevitable consequences. Sold a Story is a Documentary podcast by American Public Media
