This week, Lynni Nordheim, District Dyslexia Specialist and Director of Adolescent Literacy for The Reading League Colorado, joins us to talk about the social emotional experience of adolescent readers — how shame and avoidance show up in intervention work, what schools unintentionally communicate about who is and isn't a reader, and what it actually takes to build the safety and trust that makes learning possible.

*Plus* practical strategies you can bring back to your classroom literally tomorrow.

Because these students deserve educators who believe it's not too late — it isn't.
