21.01.2022 LATEST PODCAST: Hi everyone! In Episode 13 literacy experts Phil and Sharon Callen talk about the principles of 'Every Child, Every Day', and how school teachers can bring them to life in the classroom. As teachers there are always so many things we are being asked to do, cover, implement and introduce to our students. For Phil and Sharon Callen, a breakthrough came through one of the most practical literacy leaders on the planet, Richard Allington, and his work with Rachel Gabriel. It was Every Child, Every Day. https://the-teachers-tool-kit-for-literacy.simplecast.com/
