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.

Nobody knows vocabulary like Freddie Hebert, a longtime expert in literacy development. In today's episode, she talks about her research and vocabulary and a new approach she's taken to understand words and how they're related.

Today, we talk with her about her newest book, Teaching Words and How They Work.

It's a must read.
