I like the clarity around phonemic awareness. Automaticity and mastery a must for students. Especially those impacted by dyslexia. I throughly enjoyed this conversation with Dr Kirkpatrick.

As the Science of Reading wonderfully gets more attention, we also must be more mindful of the content we’re consuming. Casey and Emily are truly literacy experts and I always look forward to learning from them and with them!

I wish I had known about this podcast my first year as a dyslexia specialist. Going from my OG training to the classroom was tough and this would have been a game changer!

So glad you guys are back for another season!! I am looking forward to learning more with every episode.

Casey and Emily are a joy to listen to! I look forward to their new podcast episodes and can carry the ideas back to my classroom. Thank you, Casey and Emily!

I started listening to the podcast the middle of last year and each episode I’ve listened to, I’ve learned something and you have affirmed things I’m already doing. Episodes that stand out are; using evaluations to better understand our learners with Katy Vassar, the importance of scaffolding in decoding and alternatives to double-dosing in dyslexia intervention. Thank you so much for being practical in your approach to helping those with dyslexia and the people who serve and love them. 🩷

I get so much great information from the Together in Literacy Podcast. You both make a great team and I appreciate you both sharing your extensive knowledge about helping students with Dyslexia and students that struggle in general. Thank you so much!

I discovered this podcast about a year ago, and as a dyslexia therapist, I get so many practical ideas and helpful insights from all you discuss!

I have been listening since the very first episode and I’d like to say THANK YOU!!!! I learn, laugh, and nod in agreement through each episode. Listening to each episode supports my practice of structured literacy, motivates to be explicit, prescriptive, and diagnostic, and to give each of my students my best effort. You mentioned in this last episode how many of us feel like we out there alone; this is true to my experience and your podcast helps me feel connected and to know that what I am doing is the right approach to helping students with dyslexia become better readers and writers.

I am a Reading Specialist and am passionate about supporting students with language based disabilities. This captivating podcast is concise and brings a wealth of knowledge to the listener. The hosts work together seamlessly to share practical insights and make complex literacy concepts accessible to everyone. Highly recommend!

I am a dyslexia therapist, and this is my go-to for new information and ideas! I absolutely love the content from these ladies! I strongly recommend!

I have learned a wealth of information about dyslexia! As an educator I know that many of students have dyslexia and we often don’t have the knowledge to support them. This is so useful.

I love all of the podcasts and I am so glad I found them to listen to! The materials they offer and the information they provide is very clear and concise! Keep up the great work! M. Sapp

Together in Literacy is an invaluable resource for me as a private tutor, and as a parent of students with dyslexia. Emily and Casey’s holistic approach is so refreshing. Their passion for spreading awareness as well as skills and resources to share with students and families makes this podcast my favorite to share and re-visit.

As a current dyslexia interventionist in my school district, I’m so happy, I found this podcast. As they’ve said in one of their episodes, “teaching is a craft”, and the learning never stops for us. I’ve gotten so much great information, tips, advice, guidance, and suggestions/recommendations for where else to find even more knowledge about literacy instruction. I’m always looking forward to the next episode, thanks for sharing your knowledge ladies!

I love your podcast! Each time I listen to one, I learn something to apply or something that reinforces what I am doing already. Thank you, ladies, for the time and thought that is put into these podcasts. Keep up the good work!

Do you have a passion to teach all students to read? Listen to Emily and Cassie on this informative and passionate podcast to reach all students. I have found so much information here to fuel my desire to learn more to help others.

Emily and Casey are a dynamic duo who inspire me each and every time I listen to them. Growing teacher knowledge is the single most important thing we can do for students. Emily and Casey confirm, remind, and extend my knowledge. I feel as if I am better for the teachers and students with whom I work with because of Together In Literacy :-) THANK YOU!!

Casey & Emily are a dynamic duo sharing their amazing knowledge! I’ve learned something new from each and every episode I’ve listened to, and you definitely will too! I’m a first grade teacher who is very passionate about teaching my littles all things about reading and how to grow as readers. They are dyslexia specialist, their expertise goes beyond just students with dyslexia but touches all learners. Thank you Casey & Emily- you are my favorite podcast to listen to!

At the public school in my area they aren’t allowed to use the “D” word. This is so important. Thanks for sharing all the info. I have a question. I tutor a 7 almost 8 year old boy (his mom won’t share why he struggles). We have been working over a year on learning the alphabet and letter sounds. He can now identify the letters by sound but cannot tell me all their names. We are beginning to blend these sounds together and segmenting words. When we make words he will say ‘hat starts with a /h/ house’ using the letter sound and key word. In my 27 years of working with struggling readers I have never had a child that can’t remember the names of the letters, but we are pushing onward to reading and spelling! I’d love to hear any suggestions you might have. I’ve tried a lot of different approaches so am anxious to see what you might suggest.

A great podcast to inspire teachers and send them on the road to do their best for children with dyslexia. I listen to every episode and can apply what I’ve learned directly to my classroom. Thank you for your hard work and dedication!!

Hello, I am a resource/inclusion teacher with certification to serve students with the condition of dyslexia. I thank you for saying advocacy takes time to develop in students. I share that all students have a voice and can express to their teachers what works for them.

I’ve enjoyed and learned something new from every episode that they have created. I currently work with Title I students in a small, rural school. I’ve been continuing to educate myself on how best to teach the struggling readers that I work with in grades K-5. Not only has this podcast provided me with valuable literacy information, but also the inspiration to pursue further training as a dyslexia specialist. I can’t thank you enough and look forward to your future episodes!

I just love listening to you ladies. I am the Dyslexia Teacher at my school, and I just finished getting a Master’s in Reading to become a Reading Specialist. I have learned so much just from listening to your podcast. Thank you for being there for reading and language nerds like me!

This podcast is very informative and child-centered. It offers practical advice to parents and educators on the importance of viewing students as individuals, focusing on their strengths yet being honest and open about how to address their needs. As a tutor in private practice, I love listening to Emily and Casey as they provide their words of wisdom!

This podcast is a MUST! I have learned so much from Casey and Emily. I listen on my way to school and it helps me get motivated to work with my intervention groups. I love trying new things and I always had a hard time finding the right place to look for resources. Well look no further, this is your go to podcast full of resources, tips and suggestions! Thanks for taking the time so share all your wonderful knowledge! I truly appreciate it!

I am a Wilson Dyslexia Practitioner, so I need lots of training and ways to help my students. This podcast is one of my go-to sources for great information. I really appreciate the time, effort, and research that you put into each podcast. I appreciate how you support teachers and parents who are seeking advice from experts.

I love listening to the Together in Literacy podcast! As a reading intervention teacher working with students in grades 3-5, I find a valuable nugget of information in each episode. This podcast validates the work I am doing with my students and provides helpful new ideas to try! Thank you Emily and Casey, for all of the work you do to help educators and parents help their kids become better readers!

As an Orton Gillingham practitioner who works outside the classroom, I am always listening to your podcast as I am driving school to school. I am always astounded by the wealth of information that you have to share! I was most inspired by your recent podcast. I had not thought about encouraging my students to become advocates for themselves, but your podcast inspired me to do so. Dyslexia is so individualized and complex. It is so helpful to be able to listen and “relisten” to your podcast episodes! Thank you!!

Casey and Emily are my 2 most favorite dyslexia experts and educators. To enjoy them TOGETHER in a podcast is amazing. They share relevant and important information as well as actionable tips and tools. Their combined experience and knowledge creates a goldmine of information, in a friendly welcoming format. For me, they offer the validation and motivation I need to continue my work as a dyslexia and OG interventionist. I recommend this podcast to parents as well as educators.

I just discovered the podcast & WOW!! I can’t thank you enough for including the needs of older students! What a lifeline this is! As a teacher of older high schoolers I cannot thank you enough for compiling these resources. It’s invaluable! It’s so hard to find research, strategies, resources, and curricula for our older kiddos that incorporate SOR. I can’t wait to listen to all the episodes. I’ve felt like I’m on an island and now I’ve just spied the rescue plane! You ladies rock! Lifesavers!

These gals are experts in literacy and share their knowledge both practically and powerfully. I am grateful that they are sharing their rich literacy background, educating listeners, and targeting explicit ways to improve our nation’s reading crisis. It is a must listen for all teachers!

These two competent, kind and fun hosts seem to genuinely love tutoring and all things dyslexia. I have learned so much in the few episodes I have heard. Thank you! It is a gift and a pleasure to listen!

Emily Gibbons and Casey Harrison have hit the nail on the head with this podcast. Every episode is relevant whether you're the parent of a dyslexic child or an educator (I am both). Their back-and-forth flow is easy to listen to, and I always come away with an "aha" moment.

I just found your podcast and using it to help educate myself about the science of reading and dyslexia. While I have my masters on reading, dyslexia was not mentioned once nor the science of reading. I also believe especially now that social emotional needs need to be met more effectively through appropriate instruction for all students.

As an specialized instructional facilitator, you podcasts always seem to come in a timely manner. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and resources. I have shared them with teachers, administrators and parents!!

I love your podcast! I did my OG training 1 1/2 years ago and am halfway through my practicum. I am learning so much and am grateful for the amazing wealth of knowledge you are sharing. I would love to hear a post all about game ideas. How to turn learning into a game, easy quick games, etc. I want to keep my students engaged and motivated and I know everyone loves games. Thanks!!

Thank you for bringing up the ideas for sharing how the brain works with learners. Great book suggestions. There is a method in the ESL world for multilingual learners back in the day called CALLA. Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach that was really successful with my English learners in upper elementary grades. Meta cognitive strategies were a big part of that work. Awesome episode.

It is great to hear from people who have worked in the field and mastered their craft! I know I am frequently asked…what do I do when ___ happens? These women are here to answer those questions! So keep up the great work! Pam from LOP❤️

I have been enjoying all of the podcasts from Emily & Casey so far and I can’t wait for more! I especially enjoy the thoughtful conversation about relevant topics for working with real students. The focus on dyslexia and social emotional learning is spot on for today’s classrooms and students. I’ve found something to take away from each episode that I can use right away in my own classroom.

Emily and Casey are doing a fantastic job explaining the why of this important topic. Looking forward to hearing more about strategies to improve my own education practice. Thank you so much and good luck!

There are some other podcasts about Dyslexia, but I’ve been wishing for a long time that someone who is well-known and respected in the Dyslexia practitioners world would begin one. And, it’s finally happened!

Thank you for an educational and interesting podcast!

Such great information! You both are so easy to listen to. Thank you.

Looking forward to listening to both Casey and Emily's future podcasts. They are both so knowledgeable and I think I can learn a lot from them. Congrats on making it happen!

Great first podcast… I’m looking forward to hearing more from both of you! Thanks for all of your hard work

I am very excited on learning more. My daughter is in the process of being tested for dyslexia. I have tried to teach/help her learn how to read. She is in 6th grade so the social impacts are huge right now. I am ready to help her and can’t wait to learn more.

I have followed these ladies on Facebook and IG for awhile and really appreciate the content they have. As a mom to a dyslexic son I love finding resources based on the science of reading, and they bring so much enthusiasm, encouragement, and support for dyslexic students and their families. Thank you!

I enjoyed hearing Stacy and Emily share what brought them to dyslexic students. These are educators who still maintain tutoring practices. To me that means they are the real deal, walking the walk. I look forward to hearing more about how we as adults in the lives of dyslexic students can make opportunities to build emotional resilience in our students who struggle. There is more to the art of tutoring than choosing the right practice words; Stacy and Emily are going to help us bring those needed heart supports to our lessons.

I can’t wait to listen to each podcast by Emily & Casey. Their wealth of knowledge in structured literacy will help so many families, teachers, & children.
