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.
