You Were Probably Taught to Read Wrong | Otherwords
Over the last few years, schools across the country have been coming to terms with the possibility that the dominant method they've been using to teach kids to read... is TOTALLY WRONG. Otherwords is a PBS web series on Storied that digs deep into this quintessential human trait of language and finds the fascinating, thought-provoking, and funny stories behind the words and sounds we take for granted. Incorporating the fields of biology, history, cultural studies, literature, and more, linguistics has something for everyone and offers a unique perspective on what it means to be human.
