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.

These are challenging times, and we respect your unwavering commitment to your students.

At Amplify, we are working especially hard to support you.

And as we all grapple with what it means to focus on the science of reading in a new world of remote learning, we're committed to walking with you through the unknown.

Welcome to Science of Reading the podcast.

I'm your host, Susan Lambert.

Join us as we talk with experts to explore what it takes to develop joyful, confident, and capable readers.

Today I talk with Lawrence Holt, who's the primary author of learning to read a primer, both part one and part two.

These are really handy guides that outline the science of reading in ways that make the research

really accessible.

They include helpful metaphors and supporting illustrations that explain the science of reading

so clearly.

Since these primers have recently gone viral on social media, we thought it would be great to have a conversation with him to hear about the process and get his take on reading science.

If you haven't seen these primers, check out the show notes for links.

You're going to enjoy them as much as you're going to enjoy this podcast.
