0:00.0	Hi listeners, it's Susan here. Just in time for the school year, I have a brand new resource to tell you about.
0:07.0	Science of Reading, a new teacher's guide. This free e-book gives you the critical information you need,
0:13.7	including a detailed breakdown of the reading rope and the 10 foundational science of reading principles.
0:20.0	It also provides key information on dyslexia, assessment,
0:24.2	serving multilingual learners, and so much more.
0:27.4	It's packed with beautiful diagrams,
0:29.7	a perfect compliment to the podcast if I do say so myself.
0:34.0	Download your science of reading guide at amplify.com.com slash S-O-R guide.
0:44.4	I am so excited about today's episode.
0:47.9	It's something we've never done before, and we think you'll love it.
0:52.1	Joining me is Hayden Fleming, a high school sophomore from Cheyenne,
0:56.2	Wyoming, who found out about his dyslexia in third grade. Hayden's story told in his own words
1:03.3	should remind us all of the importance of evidence-based practices from the day our students
1:10.1	walk through the door for kindergarten.
1:12.6	There really is no instructional time to waste, and you'll hear that theme in my conversation with
1:18.3	Hayden. Grab a cup of coffee or your drink of choice and enjoy the conversation.
1:25.9	Oh, hey, Hayden. I am so excited to have you on this episode. Thanks for joining us.

1:36.9	hear a little bit about who you are. And for our listeners, Hayden is actually, I think, a 10th grade
1:42.6	student. Is that right? I am. I'm a sophomore at Central in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Wow. Shayan Wyoming. And I'm here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. So tell us a little bit about, a little bit more about you other than you're a 10th grade student in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I mean, there's a lot to that. I don't want to get too egotistical here, but, you know, I, I was born in New York, I lived there for three years, then Charlotte. And then we lived in, I was going to say California, Mexico. Yeah, we lived in Mexico for three and a half years, and that was quite an experience.
2:21.5	And then we moved to the U.S., and I'll come back to this all later, like the process of coming back to the U.S. from Mexico and why we did it.
2:33.1	Yeah, and then it was just more moving.
