Chase Young, Ph.D., spent his early career as an elementary teacher and reading specialist. Today, he is a professor of literacy, researcher, author, and Editor-in-Chief of Reading Research Quarterly.
His work lives at the intersection of research and practice: figuring out what we know about reading and helping educators turn that knowledge into instruction that works with real kids in real classrooms.
A lot of the thinking behind these sessions is already here for free. Explore the research, tools, examples, and instructional resources throughout The Best Class.
