312: Reading Simplified with Marnie Ginsberg Ph.D
Marnie Ginsberg, Founder of Reading Simplified, is a reading difficulties
detective who streamlines the science and art of reading instruction so
teachers can rapidly learn effective techniques that help students accelerate
to grade level and beyond. She also helps translate the latest understandings
from science into practical, easy-to-implement activities.
In the late 1990s, Marnie uncovered that her 6th-grade language arts students,
on average, were reading 2 years below grade level. And despite her master’s
degree and enthusiasm, she had no idea how to remediate their word-reading
difficulties.
After eventually finding solutions for her struggling readers, she led the
development of the Targeted Reading Intervention at the University of North
Carolina. Across 15+ years, multiple research articles have demonstrated
that struggling K-2 readers grow significantly in reading with the Targeted
Reading Intervention (TRI), which is on the federal What Works Clearinghouse
and is endorsed by many organizations such as Evidence for ESSA and RAND
Corporation’s Promising Practices Network. Given the repeated, strong results
of the TRI across multiple clinical trials, Dr. Ginsberg expanded the resources
and adapted the professional learning approach to provide Reading Simplified
for a broader audience beginning in 2013.
