What is the best way to teach reading? Today, literacy specialist Malia Hollowell talks to us about best literacy practise.
Malia firmly believes that you don’t need to be a reading specialist to be an exceptional reading teacher. In this episode, she shares tools and strategies that will help all teachers (and therefore students) achieve success.
During our chat, we talk about:
We also touch on some of the literacy trends as well as things teachers have been doing for decades and ask Malia if we need to keep them or ditch them all together!
This is a fun episode that will provide you with inspiration, confidence and best practice strategies when teaching reading.

Rainbows ahead,
Ashleigh and Alisha
