Hi listeners, it's Susan here. Just in time for the school year, I have a brand new resource to tell you about.

Science of Reading, a new teacher's guide. This free e-book gives you the critical information you need,

including a detailed breakdown of the reading rope and the 10 foundational science of reading principles.

It also provides key information on dyslexia, assessment,

serving multilingual learners, and so much more.

It's packed with beautiful diagrams,

a perfect compliment to the podcast if I do say so myself.

What if a change in classroom practice could lead to change in reading outcomes?

What should reading instruction include to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed?

What does cognitive science tell us about learning to read?

And why aren't those learnings applied in our classrooms?

Welcome to Science of Reading the podcast.

I'm your host, Susan Lambert from Amplify Education.

Join us every two weeks as we talk with science of reading experts to explore what it takes

to transform our classrooms and develop confident and capable readers.

In today's episode, we talk about the intersection between cognitive and neuroscience as it relates to developing readers.

Bruce McCandless joins me, a professor at Stanford University in the Graduate School of Education.

He helps us understand the importance of neuroscience and how it's to help both confirm and extend cognitive science findings. Don't let the word

neuroscience scare you away. Bruce breaks things down in truly understandable ways. And after you listen,

check out his impressive bio. Well, welcome, Bruce. Thank you so much for being a guest on our

podcast today. Well, thanks. It's a pleasure to be here.
