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,

It's packed with beautiful diagrams,

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

Coaching. Drop us some comments in the science of reading the community Facebook group,

to hear a little bit about who you are in your journey. How did you get interested in literacy?

Yeah, that was a fun one to think about because I am far along in my literacy journey at this stage of my career.

I've been doing this as a professional educator for many, many decades to think back
