very good very enlightened and thoughtful discourse on the issue of reading. you really learn a tremendous amount in a short period of time. the ending credits are also incredibly moving.

Description

Millions of kids can't read well. Scientists have known for decades how children learn to read, but many schools don’t know about the research. They buy teacher training and books that are rooted in a disproven idea. In Sold a Story, Emily Hanford investigates four authors and a publishing company that have made millions selling this idea.
