October 8, 2024 – Knowledge Matters Podcast
Season 2 of the Knowledge Matters Podcast is coming soon! Teachers and reading experts David and Merdith Liben host “Know Better, Do Better: Comprehension,” a six-part podcast series based on their book of the same name.
With their signature charm and straight talk, David and Meredith take on an urgent problem in American schools today—kids not understanding what they read—and how reading comprehension can be taught more effectively.
Over six digestible episodes, David and Meredith explore how comprehension works in the mind of the reader, the roles of building knowledge and vocabulary, the importance of reading language-rich, grade-level texts, and how text-centered classroom instruction is the key to students’ confidence and reading comprehension. The series features a range of teachers and expert voices, like Margaret McKeown and Lily Wong-Filmore, as well as practical ideas for classroom implementation.
