Improving the way kids are taught to read
I&#x27;m disappointed that nowhere in this interview is there any actual indication of what is done badly, or what teachers should do to improve how kids are taught to read. I get that there is apparently a gap between how kids are taught to read and the science behind how kids should be taught read.<p>I would much prefer a single understandable, actionable insight. Without it, this interview seems rather hollow. From this interview, I&#x27;m led to expect that the real insight from the book is that &quot;teachers should study behavioral science, congnitive science, and brain development,&quot; which is too loose a central thesis to capture my interest.<p>I suppose what I&#x27;ve really gathered from this interview is two things: firstly, I would like to know a bit more about the gap is between how kids learn to read and how they should learn to read; secondly, I do not intend on reading Seidenberg&#x27;s book (i.e. the book this interview is centered around) to find out.
