Summary
In today's episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Maria Murray , founder and CEO of The Reading League , to talk about one of the most consequential decisions schools make: choosing a reading curriculum . If you've ever felt overwhelmed by programs, sales pitches, reviews, or state requirements, this conversation is a breath of fresh air. Dr. Murray shares her story—from researcher to reading scientist to starting The Reading League—and explains why knowledge-building and ongoing support are essential for schools implementing evidence-aligned reading instruction. Together, we unpack what curriculum decision-makers really need to know , what red flags to watch for, and why implementation matters just as much as the curriculum itself.
