Episode 12: Seen, Safe, and Ready to Read (Lynni Nordheim, Director of Adolescent Literacy)

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.
