Every teacher has seen it—a student who can’t focus, can’t follow, or can’t find calm enough to learn—no matter how strong the instruction. This edWeb podcast introduces the concept of learning readiness through regulation —how emotional, cognitive, and relational factors shape students’ capacity to access and retain foundational literacy skills. We explore how regulation is the bridge between ability and achievement , and how teachers can weave readiness practices into daily instruction without adding more to their plates. By connecting the Science of Reading with the Science of Learning , educators discover practical ways to create calm, connected, and learning-ready classrooms where every child can thrive. Join Kai-leé Berke , educator and early learning leader, Dr. Diane Davison King-Shaw , Clinical Director of the Lourie Center School and expert in trauma-informed education, and Heather Minter , Resilient Learning and Well-Being Consultant, who translate these ideas into practical classroom strategies. Moderated by Marjorie Bottari , this conversation helps educators understand how readiness and regulation unlock every student’s potential—transforming not just how we teach, but how students experience learning. This edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-5 teachers, school leaders, and district leaders. Heggerty Together, we are committed to changing lives through the joy of reading, one child at a time.
