SERP Stories: When Teens Can't, Won't, & Don't Read: What We Can Do
Kids don't learn basketball by doing worksheets about basketball... yet many reading programs rely on isolated rote skills practice. What if we built interventions that made students WANT to read again? Join a live recording of the SERP Stories podcast (launched July 2025). We will illuminate a missing strand in the Science of Reading: engagement. Hear from researchers and educators who center motivation, identity, and agency alongside rigor, and walk away with ideas to re-engage adolescent readers with wonder and purpose.
