In this episode, I`m talking about reading and textbooks.

ELT industry and science do not go hand in hand.

As Pinker once said, print is optional for humankind. The textbooks overlook this important fact. Children are taught to guess, not to read.

Join me on this journey to rediscover the scientific foundations of reading and to advocate for a more engaging and practical approach to language learning.
