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.

This is Susan Lambert and welcome to Science of Reading the podcast.

On this sixth season of the show, we've been highlighting how different parts of the education system can contribute to spreading science-based literacy instruction.

Since we started this season, we've heard over and over about how we need to do an episode focused on higher education,

and the work being done to change the way colleges and universities

teach literacy instruction. Well, it's finally time. I'm thrilled to share that my guest

this time around is Donna Heitmanich, founder of the nearly 200,000-person Facebook group,

Science of Reading, What I Should Have Learned in

college. Donna shares the story of starting this group, and she talks about the challenges

that come with trying to change higher education. Without further ado, here's my conversation

with Donna Heitmanich.

Well, Donna, welcome.

Thank you so much for joining us on today's episode.

Thanks for having me.

It's an honor to be here. No, it's an honor for us to have you here.
