Did you know that 20/20 eyesight isn’t enough for reading success? In this episode, Dr. Gina Pepin explores the critical difference between being able to see the page and truly being able to read it. You’ll learn about functional vision (how well eyes track and coordinate as you read) and visual efficiency (how smoothly your eyes and brain work together for comfortable, fluent reading).
Discover the hidden signs that a student’s reading struggles might be rooted in vision—not motivation or ability. Dr. Pepin breaks down what to watch for, how to advocate for students, and simple classroom strategies that make a big difference—like reading guides, vision breaks, and multisensory activities.
Listen in and gain valuable insights to support every struggling reader—not just by focusing on the letters, but by understanding the whole visual process. Empower your classroom, and help every child discover the joy of comfortable, successful reading!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
