In the second episode of a special four-part Science of Reading: The Podcast adolescent literacy series, Susan Lambert, Ed.D., speaks with Julie Burtscher Brown, Ed.D., a PreK–12 Literacy Facilitator. Julie talks about how she and her colleagues built a whole-school literacy initiative from the ground up, and what three years of data about it then revealed. Together, she and Susan also discuss why a few targeted, evidence-based practices, not sweeping overhauls, were what actually moved the needle for Julie’s students; how content-area teachers can begin supporting literacy without buying new curriculum or reinventing their lessons; and what real, measurable change can look like at the secondary level when a whole school commits to the same practices.
