my personal favourite thing about naddpod is the inescapable antagonistic energy. when murph dms, that energy is directed at him, because he is the dungeon master straightman in a room of chronically ridiculous people, and is unafraid to be an enemy. when emily or caldwell dm all that energy is redirected amongst the party, leading to dynamics like the bon freres and the triplets, which are so chock-full of the most hilariously toxic behaviour you've ever seen that they are barely capable of functioning as a group. it's perfect.

For decades, reading instruction in American schools has been rooted in a flawed theory about how reading works, a theory that was debunked decades ago by cognitive scientists, yet remains deeply embedded in teaching practices and curriculum materials. As a result, the strategies that struggling readers use to get by — memorizing words, using context to guess words, skipping words they don't know — are the strategies that many beginning readers are taught in school. This makes it harder for many kids to learn how to read, and children who don't get off to a good start in reading find it difficult to ever master the process.

Phonics is challenging for many kids. The cueing strategies seem quicker and easier at first. And by using context and memorizing a bunch of words, many children can look like good readers — until they get to about third grade, when their books begin to have more words, longer words, and fewer pictures. Then they're stuck. They haven't developed their sounding-out skills. Their bank of known words is limited. Reading is slow and laborious and they don't like it, so they don't do it if they don't have to. While their peers who mastered decoding early are reading and teaching themselves new words every day, the kids who clung to the cueing approach are falling further and further behind.
