Dr. David Kilpatrick is one of the most recognizable experts in the area of reading development and reading difficulties today. His books Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties and Equipped for Reading Success are considered “must-reads” for teachers everywhere. David has expanded our collective understanding of the nature of word-level reading, specifically in the areas of phonemic proficiency and orthographic mapping, which has guided new directions in assessment and intervention.
In this episode, David will discuss what and who have influenced his work, what people tend to get wrong about the science of reading, and how a healthy dose of humility is critical to moving the work forward. Hold on to your hats! David has great stories and lots to share.
