“Why can't kids read?” — a national question with real consequences.

In Episode 3, we diagnose this issue using the Educational Epiphany formula — decoding + creating meaning = reading. We review the 10 foundational elements of literacy and share practical strategies to close the gap, enabling students to access and comprehend complex texts across all subjects.

Whether you are a parent, caregiver, educator, or advocate, join us for a vibrant, informed conversation on phonics vs. encoding, vocabulary and word‑part instruction, fluency, background knowledge, and why decoding and comprehension must be taught simultaneously across content areas. Hear real‑world examples, teacher‑tested strategies, and stories of students who gained confidence and proficiency.

Tune in today and discover how together, we can resolve the long‑standing issues surrounding children’s ability to read — once and for all.
