The Science of Reading in the Montessori classroom with Susan Zoll, Natasha Feinberg, and Laura Saylor

<p>For the second episode in our new season focused on tackling the hard stuff, we&apos;re taking on a question that listeners have asked: how can we apply the Science of Reading in a Montessori setting? To help explore that question, we&apos;re joined by the three authors of the recent book <em>Powerful Literacy in the Montessori Classroom: Aligning Reading Research and Practice.</em> Listen to Dr. Susan Zoll, Dr. Natasha Feinberg, and Dr. Laura Saylor as they explore the shared qualities between the Science of Reading and Montessori approach.
