This is APM’s tease for “Sold a Story 2: What Happened to Teaching”:
It’s not just reading. The new season of Sold a Story takes on teaching itself — what makes teaching effective and why a method with a remarkable record of success never caught on.

Special Education Today covered the release of a video version of one episode from the original Sold a Story in “Sold a Story in video” featured earlier episodes repeatedly. For some notes from SET about the original series, including links to earlier coverage, please see “Sold a Story Redux.”
