Melissa Loftus and Lori Sappington provide classroom-level professional development for educators through the Melissa & Lori Love Literacy podcast. Leveraging their backgrounds as Baltimore City Public Schools teachers and literacy coaches, they bridge the gap between academic research and Monday morning lesson planning. The duo frequently collaborates with literacy experts such as Natalie Wexler and Kareem Weaver to explore the Science of Reading movement and evidence-based instruction. They offer specific instructional routines through their named Hot Topic Series and have published The Literacy 50: A Q&A Handbook for Teachers to provide tangible resources for K-12 practitioners. Supported by Great Minds PBC, they host the Listen Again series to revisit foundational literacy classics for their audience. Their recent launch of the Literacy 50 handbook serves as a concrete win, expanding their pedagogical reach from digital audio to physical classroom tools. This professional resource focuses on decoding, fluency, and the knowledge gap in ELA instruction.
