>>It began as a dream 15 years ago, but today Elizabeth Baker is making reading and literacy
research both accessible and consumable.
>>Baker is an associate professor of literacy education at the University of Missouri’s
College of Education where she hosts the podcast Voice of Literacy.
>>Tyler Hartley, Podcast Engineer “It’s really about education in general and something
that everyone has a vested interest in because when we talk about parents, teachers, principles,
and policy makers we pretty much cover every audience.”
>>The podcast features in-depth, personal interviews of authors who publish the latest
research in the top reading and literacy journals including Reading Research Quarterly and the
Journal of Literacy Research
>>Dr. Betsy Baker, Host “Voice of Literacy” “If you can make literacy research consumable
and accessible it’s a win win for everybody,”
>>Jeni Davis, Podcast listener “The best thing about the podcast, is that these authors
that I was already reading, it made them real people to me.”
>>Baker attempts to bridge the gap between research findings and real-world application. The
podcast airs the first and third Monday every month.
>>Jeni Davis, Podcast Subscriber “If you are ¬interested in literacy education, if
you are interested in staying current then this is a nice and very easy way to kind of
hear what the newest and latest research is.”
