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.

Learning how to learn is a turbocharger.

It is the accelerant.

This is Susan Lambert.

Welcome to Science of Reading the podcast from Amplify, where the science of

reading lives. Last time on the show, we brought you our first ever episode recorded in front of a live

audience from the Plain Talk conference in New Orleans. While at Plain Talk, I also had the chance

to sit down with one of the conference's keynote speakers,

someone we've long wanted to have on the show, Zerretta Hammond, teacher educator, national consultant,

and author of the book, Culturally Responsive, Teaching and the Brain,

promoting authentic engagement and rigor for culturally and linguistically

diverse students. Just a couple hours after Zoretta delivered her excellent keynote in

front of the packed ballroom, she and I spoke more about a hard but critical topic,

weaving together both justice and joy in literacy instruction.

Please enjoy my conversation with Zoretta Hammond.
