Episode 49: Reading Revisited

Clark Corbin | 12/16/2016

Welcome to episode 49 of the Extra Credit podcast.

This week, reporter Kevin Richert offers a closer look at his collaborative new series Reading Revisited. For the series, Richert partnered with Idaho Public Television’s “Idaho Reports” team to take a closer look at Idaho’s $11.25 million investment in 37,000 kids who aren’t meeting reading benchmarks.

We’re planning to take some time off for the holiday season, but we will return with another new episode of Extra Credit on Jan. 6, when we will preview the 2017 legislative session.
