Teaching, Reading and Learning: The Reading League Podcast- Episode 13: Interview w/Dusty & Dott

Teaching, Reading, and Learning: The TRL Podcast is focused on elevating important contributions to the educational community, with the goal of inspiring teachers, informing practice, and celebrating those people in the community who have influenced teaching and literacy to the betterment of children. The podcast features people whose life stories are simply compelling and rich in ways that are instructive to us all. The podcast will focus on literacy as we know it (reading and writing) but will also connect to other “literacies” that impact children’s learning; for example, emotional, physical and social literacies as they apply to teachers and children.
Episode Description
What do a dog, a girl, and a robot have in common? First and foremost, Dusty, Dott, and Alphabott are best friends. But they are also reading buddies! Dusty loves to talk, but learning to read is a new skill. With the help of Dott and Alphabott, he discovers that it can be so much fun! Along the way, the friends practice letters, sounds and reading words, improvise stories, get letters from their globe-trotting friend Otto, practice social skills, and so much more.
In this episode, we’ll talk with Dusty, Dott, and Alphabott, learn how they became friends and discover how they are sharing Dusty’s journey in learning to read. You’ll find out all about their television show and how Dusty and Dott have worked with The Reading League to ensure that the science of reading is the foundation for the show.
After hearing from our friends, we hope you'll become a Reading Buddy, too!
