Hi, I’m Loh Chin Ee and welcome to the How We Read Podcast.

As an educator and researcher at the National Institute of Education, people often ask me about reading. With questions ranging from how they can help their children improve their reading skills to book recommendations on why they should read literature, I know there is a keen interest in reading.
 
Join me as I talk to experts and educators who share their rich experiences with us.

How We Read Podcast

In this educational podcast series brought to you by the National Institute of Education at the Nanyang Technological University, we explore how children, adolescents and adults and learn to read.

Learning to read is not just a matter of phonics as many might believe. Neither is learning to read something that stops at childhood. Rather, learning to read is a complex enterprise that includes finding the right book, having reading role models, being immersed in book-full environments and searching for new ways to approach different kinds of texts through different stages of life.

This series takes you into the world of reading, from childhood to old age, to uncover the art and science of learning to read.
