About this listen
In this episode of Research the News, host Ray Abel is joined by Kareem Weaver, Co-Founder of FULCRUM, to discuss the critical issue of literacy in the U.S. Kareem, who has extensive experience as a teacher and administrator, explains why only 34% of fourth-grade students are performing at a proficient level in reading. The conversation covers various teaching methods, including phonics, balanced literacy, and whole language learning, and examines the reasons behind the current literacy crisis. Kareem shares his perspective on what needs to change in our education system to ensure that every child becomes an 'on-time' reader. As an added bonus, the episode includes a fun debate on who has the greatest arm in baseball. This episode offers valuable insights for educators, parents, and anyone interested in the future of education.
