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.

teachers is they have their kids right this is Susan Lambert welcome to science of reading

the podcast from Amplify where where the science of reading lives.

We're continuing to tackle the hard stuff, taking on some of the topics that listeners have asked most about.

And now it's time for a big one, the role of writing and literacy development.

And to dive into this topic, we decided to call in the

expert on writing, Dr. Steve Graham from Arizona State University. Among many important roles

and accomplishments in his four decades studying writing, Graham served as the chair of the

What Works Clearing House Practice Guides on

elementary and secondary writing. And in this conversation, Graham unpacks the research on

writing and also shares strategies for classroom teachers to use writing most effectively.

Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Steve Graham.

Well, Dr. Steve Graham, thank you so much for joining us on today's episode.

Thank you so much for inviting me.

We are really excited to talk to you because you've been doing a lot of work in the world of writing for a long time.
